Dear Chelsey, There are thousands of books written on the Plains Indians. They will be readily found at your college library or your library at your home city. When I wrote my novel, "Fire From The Sky," The story of the Rise and Fall of the Lakota Natives, 1800-1909, it required over three hundred volumes of primary and secondary sources to write. Wish you luck. Michael Joel Held

Well, if you need something that you can observe around you, an ever increasing life style, why don't you take a look at the "gay" sub-culture?  They say, "we're here, we're queer, and we're IN YOUR FACE!."

You need to define the culture for which you need a list of subcultures.  There are all kinds of cultures, and within each type of culture there are subcultures.  In sociological studies, the subcultures are numerous and varied (e.g., class structure, ethnicity, youth variance, and deviants within any established culture).  In anthropological studies, any specified culture will have subcultures, and subcultures within subcultures (e.g., caste system in India).  In business, there are subcultures within the corporate structure, and that is within the greater economic culture (e.g., an organization may have administrators, office workers, field workers, etc., and all that exists within its external economic culture).

If you can establish your focus, then it will be easier to list potential subcultures for you to compare and contrast in an ethnography.
