What is the relationship between knowledge and culture?
Bison hunting
Bisons where on of the major food sources of Indians therefore they had special ways and techniques of hunting bison and such.
Before the introduction of horses, bison were herded into large chutes made of rocks and willow branches and trapped in a corral called a buffalo pound and then slaughtered or stampeded over cliffs, called buffalo jumps. Both pound and jump archaeological sites are found in several places in the U.S. and Canada. In the case of a jump, large groups of people would herd the bison for several miles, forcing them into a stampede that drove the herd over a cliff. (From wikipedia)

Horses have always played an important role in daily life as well as in the arts. (From wikipedia)
Since they play such a important role in their culture their will also be more knowledge of horses
superior knowledge of horse riding compared to average due to their culture
Culture plays a major role in if we can understand such knowledge and what types of knowledge is produced
The tools availble dictate what types of knowledge are producded

How might the context in which knowledge is presented influence whether it is accepted or rejected
Context:the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood.
The context plays a major role in if we accept of reject knowledge for example just from who we get the knowledge can have a major role in how likely we are to believe such knowledge
Example: from random individual less likely to accept knowledge
Example: from teacher likely to accept knowledge
