I'm looking for the name of a particular anthropologist who developed a unique approach for making his / her way into an indigenous culture. He / she would go to what they could determine was the outermost edge of the culture, set up camp and just wait. They would wait for as long as it took for someone from the culture to come out and meet them. In the meeting there would be an "exchange of gifts" and then possibly they would be invited in a little closer into the territory of the culture. Again they would set up camp and wait, until they were invited in further. Eventually, they would be invited into the very center of the culture.
Can anyone help me here, with the name of the person (or school or approach)? Thanks, Gary at The STAR Institute
