Ewok Culture
They are peaceful, furry, little life forms that look a bit like miniature, primitive versions of wookies. Their name gives a clue to this derivation with e-wok being nearly the reverse of wook-ees.
Ewoks are curious by nature and stand about one meter tall. They resemble the Brussels Griffon's face, but share certain features with chipmunks and humans as well. They are completely covered in fur and have large jewel-like eyes; both their fur and their eyes come in a variety of earth-tones, primarily brown, white, grey, gold and black. Ewoks use spears, slings, and knives as weapons; they also use hang gliders, battle wagons, and bordoks as vehicles. Ewoks are omnivorous with their diet primarily composed of berries, fruits, and small critters, although Ewoks are known to hunt in packs for larger creatures also. The majority of Ewoks are depicted as living high among the trees of their home planet's forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. The surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role in the Ewok religion; the Ewoks are a deeply spiritual race who believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Tree, a sacred tree in the forests. The trees of the forest provide not only physical shelter to the Ewoks, but also give the tribe a sense of protection as the trees watch over them. The Ewoks live in harmony with nature and forage for food in the lush vegetation. The majority of Ewoks are depicted as living high among the trees of their home planet's forests, in villages built between the closely spaced trees. Although extremely skilled in forest survival and the construction of primitive technology like gliders and catapults, the Ewoks have yet to progress past stone-age technology (possibly because their homeworld, the forest moon of Endor, does not provide many natural resources needed for such development). The Ewoks have a tribal culture, with a Council of Elders ruling over them, and the Council, in turn, headed by the Chief. A medicine man also lives in the Ewok village, a healer and a keeper of mystical lore. The surrounding giant trees play an important cultural role in the Ewok religion; the Ewoks are a deeply spiritual race who believe themselves to be descendants of the Great Tree, a sacred tree in the forests. The tree excretes a substance in which the Ewoks call "Chak". A tree is planted for each Ewok at his or her birth, and there is a special binding between Ewok and tree. Ewoks also get their medicine from a single tree deep in the forests of Endor. Ewoks venture to the forest floor to hunt, and set traps to catch various prey. Ewoks believe in guardian spirits that "live in the trees". Ewoks may be extinct on the Forest-Moon of Endor due to the environmental devastation of the destruction of Death-Star II.
