2. Reminds me of the movie Farenheit 451, where people memorized books and became the books.

They would introduce themselves as the book's title. I'm "To Kill a Mockingbird", or I'm Slaughterhouse Five".
And they would speak the book, and teach others to be the book.

5. That's what they did in the days before books.

The group's shaman would relate the verbal history of the tribe as they sat around the campfire.

The real savages came from Europe.
