   If you ask psychologists who invented the "Hierarchy of Needs," they'll yell "Maslow!" If you ask them to define his theory, they tell you, "Each person has a hierarchy of needs that must be met!" Then ask if he ever studied Native American culture, they'll tell you "Yes! Blackfoot Indians!" Then ask if their culture had a theory of hierarchy of needs. They say yes. They know.

   But Maslow changed the hierarchy up a lil bit (AKA, made it worse), before passing it off as his own.
