They set up lodges in the woods and bushes near their fields. The fields are opened in mutual cooperation by villagers who are still largely tied to kinship either by descent or by marriage.
Their field crops are sweet potatoes, taro, squash and tobacco which they call Tavo. This community also has a habit of traditional trade with commodities such as tobacco, pork (which are generally maintained by each family), stone axes (now replaced with equipment of iron), and various other grocery items.
They are clustered settlements usually have a communal house which is often used as a meeting hall for men. Family houses made with a fenced yard is quite high, point to maintain their pigs.
