The purpose of this paper is ex planting indigenous Vareh cooperation member's cognitive semantic in their daily life. This will lead to finding out how they learn from daily interactions with surrounding environment, social and economic conditions, which is based on mind-experience-language interaction. This paper is run out by a triple approach as well as documentary and hermneutic research methods. The first method was used to find out relative documents about Vareh cooperation. The hermneutic method was used to find out how subjective-objective semantic interactions are led to new understanding and learning by Vareh members. This on-gaining process by available equipment will lead to new knowledge. Meanwhile, family members, groups, politics, ethics, society, indigenous technologies, etc. are affecting this process. However, this cognitive semantic process in daily lives lead to Cognitive Hi-Techs which is a prerequisite for development; specifically for rural and nomadic people; This process is demonstrated by a model which is presented at end of this article.
