The Lost Tribe

Improved Essays
I reviewed the film “The Lost Tribes”. This film was about 10 of the original 12 Hebrew tribes, which, under the authority of Joshua, claimed Canaan, the Promised Land, after the passing of Moses. These tribes are Reuben, Simeon, Levi, Dan, Naphtali, Gad, Asher, Issachar, Zebulun, and Joseph (whose tribe was isolated into the tribes of Ephraim and Manasseh). The vast majority of the general population of the Northern Kingdom were extradited to old Assyria (2 Kings 17:6). A significant number of the Jews who stayed in the land intermarried with individuals from Cutha, Ava, Hamath, and Sepharvaim who had been sent by the Assyrian ruler to possess Samaria (2 Kings 17:24; Ezra 4:2– 11). Therefore, the story goes, the ten northern tribes of Israel were "lost" to history and either wiped out or acclimatized into other social orders. …show more content…
One legend says that the ten tribes relocated to Europe (the Danube River, they say, got its name from the tribe of Dan). Another legend says the tribes relocated the distance to England and that all Anglo-Saxons today are really Jews—this is an educating of the blasphemous British Israelism. An astonishing number of gatherings around the globe claim to have slipped from the "lost" tribes: there are individuals in India, Nigeria, Ethiopia, Pakistan, Afghanistan, and North America who all claim such family. Different hypotheses liken the Japanese or the American Indians with the ten "lost" tribes of Israel. In all actuality the "lost tribes of Israel" were never truly lost. A considerable lot of the Jews who stayed in the land after the Assyrian triumph re-joined with Judah in the south (2 Chronicles 34:6–

    The Oneida tribe originally came from New York. They are here today because during the early 1800s, white land speculators forced the Oneida to sell large portions of their lands. From the American Revolution onward, the tribe's homeland in New York shrunk from about six million acres to 4500 acres by 1839. In addition, the Stockbridge and the Brothertown relocated onto Oneida lands.…

    General racism, environmental devastation, and poverty on Indian reservations makes it burdensome for many Native people to live according to their traditions. As many are simply trying to survive daily life, they do not have the energy, money, or time to be taught and teach their indigenous languages and cultures. For some Native peoples, their very survival is dependent on preserving their language and particular ways of life. While it does seem that some languages and cultures are in danger of being exclusive to history, it is a surprising fact to many that many Native groups have a very diverse original language and many cultural customs. With the supremacy of European-American cultural and economic identities, it is astounding to see the perseverance of these sustained livelihoods adapt and remain feasible in the middle of constantly-changing social change.…

    In the early 1600’s a disease, known as the “Smallpox” wiped out nearly all Native Americans that lived in what we now know as Massachusetts. Smallpox quickly contaminated 90% of Native Americans due to the fact that they had no immunity to such diseases; the Smallpox disease played a major role in decreasing the population. In 1621 the Pilgrims, and Wampanoag tribe held the first Thanksgiving feast; which went on for about 3 days. The Pilgrims, and the Wampanoag Tribe decided to have the feast together because they equally helped each other settle, and contributed to agriculture. In 1641, Witchcraft became illegal, and whoever contributed or practiced witchcraft was sentenced to death.…

    The Apache Indian Tribe

    During the 14th and 15th centuries the Apache Indian tribe was required by cultural mandate to leave as little imprint on the land as possible. The practice of leaving no trace of their occupation in an area makes it difficult for archaeologist to locate and identify archaeological sites for the Apache Indians during that time period. This makes it difficult to answer any questions about the Apache tribe during the 14th and 15th centuries. Adding to the frustration is the fact that the Apache did not write down their history, instead it was passed down through oral tails. (Herr, 2013)…
