The Trobriand Islands, located on the coast of Eastern New Guinea, is one of anthropology’s most “scared places”(Weiner 1). Malinowski and Weiner both did fieldwork research there that later became significant ethnographic work about the matrilineal society. Gender plays an important role in Trobriand Islands. Women and men have different duties in the economy and with children. Additionally, for the people of Trobriand Islands, food is not only something they eat, but something with…

Ax-Men Pandas There once was a guinea pig village in the old forest, the tribe is very unhappy because their houses are old, weak and broken. One August day two red pandas, Red and Stipe, walked towards the village in the old forest with axes over their shoulders.

Because the gallery featured indigenous peoples of other regions, I decided to compare this to the “Canada, First Peoples’” gallery, which was created through a consultation with individual aboriginal groups. However, comparing…

When comparing the two regions of Papua New Guinea and the Middle East, the main difference between the two civilization is the amount of resources each place had. In the Middle East, there was great amounts of wheat and barley. This crop was very essential for a food source because it contained lots of protein and nutrients.

In Guinea, Liberia, and Sierra Leone, the Ebola virus was quickly widespread. Some countries banned flights from those infected areas for the safety of their own population. Although flight bans seem to be an easy solution to the problem, they can lead to negative outcomes. Flight bans could negatively affect societies because the virus would be less contained, researchers would have trouble working, and economies would ultimately change. Since there is no known cure for the virus, people have…

Geographic Luck Why are some countries so wealthy and modern, while others are left in misfortune and poverty? This is a question Jared Diamond and many others ask themselves almost everyday. After a visit to New Guinea, and many years of research Diamond formed the theory of “Geographic Luck.” His theory divulges on how it doesn’t matter the brilliance or dexterity of the native people, but the raw materials they are given. According to Jared Diamond the modern world is so unequal because of…

influences, such as those brought on by the missionaries. Hawai 'i and Papa New Guinea are two of the many islands located in the Pacific Ocean, who was affected by colonization.
