In My Tribe

the villages ideas only separates the people rather than unite them which cause the culture to ultimately fall in the end. The need for masculinity in a male in the tribe is huge and any male who is not masculine seems to be looked down upon. The meaning of masculinity…

In the middle of autumn I decided to take a walk in the woods behind my house. I wandered and wandered and, soon enough, I was hopelessly displaced. I saw this huge pond about 70 yards in front of me. I had never seen it before; so I decided to go investigate. When I got up to the pond I realized there was a whole Native American civilization that had once lived here. There were 25 huts, spread out on the banks of the pond, and piles of wood, fire dig outs, broken pottery and arrowheads…

the story, many times. One example was that the old woman let Salva stay in her barn for many nights before he had to go walk to the refugee camp. Another example was that Salva accepted another part of a Dinka tribe and the Jur-Chol into their group to walk with them to the refugee camp. My last example was that Salva accepted fifteen hundred boys to walk with him to the refugee camp in Kenya. This is why accepting others helps people get through life. An example of when there was acceptance…

the native tribes. Columbus labeled them as the Indians as a result of his settlement on America instead of India for which he set sail for. The United States harbored various cultures, beliefs, cuisines, languages, dwellings, clothing, and much more from the diversity of each tribe. Studying about the everyday lifestyle of these tribes was of particular interest to me as they pioneered utilitarian ways of surviving in harsh seasons of the United States. One of the most captivating tribes was…

the many trips to the mountains where we would spend our summers fishing in the local creeks and winters skiing the slopes. These are memories that I cherish and as a mom, try to create similar experiences with my children. The outdoors holds a special place inside of me and I knew where my heart would take me – outside and local for this legal research paper. The process was more difficult than I originally anticipated. I scoured google for what seemed like hours, typing similar language in…

Grand Valley Dani In the film presented in class, we watched and study the Dani. The Dani is a tribe that lives in the highlands (Indonesia), they are a horticulture tribe. A hollow cloths is the only clothing that the Dani wear (is called a penis sheath). They survive upon their lands. In the documentary, I saw that the women do the part that has to be with planting, weeding and harvesting the lands. However, the men have to do the parts that implicate the cleaning of the irrigation systems…

Jane Harrison’s Themis is a ritual self which focuses on the collective identity of a tribe. Opposite of this self, the psyche or self as depicted Homer’s The Odyssey is a self which focuses on the individual. In Themis these collective selves centered around a ritualistic society are demonstrated by the way society connected with their gods through rituals which focused on initiation of young men into the tribe, a collective emotion, and the tribe’s connection to the earth. The epic self which…

meaning that he knew the differences between rational and nonrational choices that Jefferson wanted him to make. Lewis was a very confident person, and with him being confident it made the team, and I, more confident in him. I know that I trusted him with my life, but it was because he was a very trustworthy…

peoples into contact is because it could create safety issues. According to my source, should these indigenous people be forced into contact they would be exposed to diseases, brutality from outsiders, and most likely have their lands stolen from them. These secluded people shouldn’t be forced into contact where they could be exploited and wiped out. As the article “‘Human Safaris’ in the Amazon Basin Put Uncontacted Tribes at Risk” states, they are actually very smart to stay hidden. About a…
