[[File:Blackfoot teepees.jpg|thumb|200px|left|Nomadic Copaish, now about a quarter of the population, have been a feature of the life of Copake for millennia, and today are a major cultural division within Copake along with the settled majority.]] | |||
Despite centuries of being organized under different polities, necessary trade and proximity interactions have made Copake's regional cultural groups relatively closely aligned. Copake culture is subject to a long-running project of {{wp|nation-building}} as the government has worked to identify key shared historical events, commonly held social mores, and other subjects which relate the once-disparate peoples together. As such, the work of defining Copake culture is still ongoing, and according to the prominent Kirvian scholar on Crona Velel Arenva, "Copake culture will...ultimately be determined by those who choose to be its practitioners or choose otherwise." In this sense, there is a public focus on democratizing the future of the Copake identity, as newly formed cultural institutions such as museums, schools, and magazines all offer their own version of what it means to be Copaish. | Despite centuries of being organized under different polities, necessary trade and proximity interactions have made Copake's regional cultural groups relatively closely aligned.
