Invasion by Barbarian Tribes The most straightfoward reason would be military losses against outside forces. Barbian groups had reached beyond the Empire’s borders. In 410, the Visigoth King Alaric took all the wealth from Rome. The Empire spent the next decades under constant threat. It was raided again in 455 and in 476, the Germanic leader Odoacer staged a revolt and deposed the emperor. No Roman emperor would ever rule from…

the United States even existed. “The Cherokees lived on land extending from North Carolina to South Carolina, Georgia, Tennessee, and Alabama for hundreds of years” (Green & Perdue, 1). They were constantly moving around involuntarily. The Cherokee tribes were often forced to leave their land when Americans found use of the land that the Cherokees were living on. White Americans were wanting their land because they found gold, wanted their livestock and they were able to evict the Cherokees out…

The Ik On the eastern side of the African continent, near the borders of Kenya and South Sudan, in the mountains of northern Uganda you will find the Ik people. With a current population estimate of less than 10,000, they are a small African tribe (“The IK people of North-East Uganda”). Their villages consist of individual grass and stick homes with a small courtyard and fire pit, individually surrounded by a stockade with a doorway, leading into a communal stockade with gates to the outside.…

explore other careers is lost. This kind of pressure has caused me to seclude myself away from this type of mentality, it caused me to explore and see that there is more to life than the box I used to be placed in. As a lady that belongs to the Yoruba tribe humility is one of the most important value, you're taught to respect an individual no matter what the circumstance is, when I was younger I didn't really agree. There were situations where people have…

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…

In the chapter, On the Illinois: The Making of Modern Music and Culture in the Oklahoma Ozark Foothills, The Oklahoma Ozark area is a physical and cultural transition zone between the Great Plains and the eastern woodlands. This area has been considered home to many of the Cherokee people since their removal by U.S. soldiers and settlers beginning in the 1820s (pg. 239). The Cherokees has lived in the Oklahoma Ozark area longer than any other ethnic group compared as of currently. The Cherokees…

In America, we love to gamble. Whether it is on sports, dogs, horses, or cars, or even if it is in a casino- we cannot get enough of it. There are about fifteen hundred casinos in the country, scattered from one side of the continent to the other. That is more casinos than any other in the states, and most go all out to make each and every patron welcome and go the extra mile to make everyone feel like a superstar. Most are more than just a simple place to gamble, but they also have shows, a bar…

Uncontacted tribes face various threats from the outside world. These threats include destruction of homes, budget cuts, disease transmission, and tourism of their territory. These threats pose great dangers to the tribes, which may include sickness or even death. Many companies are beginning to build on the land that many tribes call “home,” causing tribes to lose shelter and food supply. Destruction of the homes of tribes create many problems which can lead to death of many tribe members.…

cities and towns it goes back to the villages and tribes that founded the cities and towns that are now thriving. Africa has up to 3,000 tribes and I could not write about all of them so I shortened my research to tribes from Kenya. I chose Kenya because I am from there and it will bring me closer to my roots, and I can get more research information from my grandparents and my mother. Kenya has the Kikuyu, Luhya, Luo, Kalenjin, Kamba, Kisii and Meru tribe which I am familiar with because I…

in common than you might think. The Haida, Inuit, and the Sioux all are the same and different at the same time. The tribes all hunt, speak languages, build houses and create art. Tribes Alike Even though the Haida, Inuit, and the Sioux sound different, they have a lot of things in common. The Haida, Sioux, and Inuit all hunt. The reason hunting is common among the tribes, is because it was necessary for survival. The Inuit hunt with rifles. The rifles were accurate and powerful. The…
