Among American Indian peoples, they have become extinct or were forcibly settled at least in the United States.

These types have developed throughout history, although slowly. Most people in prehistory had this type of society. In antiquity, more peoples increasingly shifted to other types, and in classical and medieval times including early classical, late classical, early medieval, and late medival times, yet more shifted. In modern times, hunting and gathering societies were transformed or destroyed at an increasing rate, and few remained. The 16th century, 17th century, 18th century, 19th century, and 20th century including the early 20th century, early mid 20th century, mid 20th century, late mid 20th century, and late 20th century can be examined. In the early 21st century there are connections to the early 2000s. The late 2000s including 2006, 2007, and 2008 can possibly be connected.

Their future including the near future, middle future, and far future can be examined.
