Dinka
The Dinka tribe originated from southern Sudan but many have migrated elsewhere due to civil war. They traditionally wore little clothing, with men going naked and women wearing goatskin skirts. The Dinka population is over 1 million and they speak the Dinka language, though some have relocated to places like Khartoum with different cultures.
Hunted
The Pacific islands were once paradises, with abundant resources and few cares for inhabitants. However, when white people arrived, they disrupted the islanders' way of life, introducing religion, laws, diseases, and other harmful influences. As a result, island populations declined rapidly as the people lost their carefree happiness and health. The missionaries, traders, soldiers, and administrators who followed exploited the islands and oppressed the native people. The document criticizes missionaries for coming with attitudes of superiority rather than guilt, given the harm their forefathers caused, and calls on them to wipe their slates clean.
Culture Of Sub Saharan Africa
The document summarizes key aspects of culture and lifestyles in Africa south of the Sahara, including major religions, languages, arts, education, health care, and cities.

The arts are usually focused on traditional beliefs through wood carvings, textiles, drums, and oral traditions. Education levels are rising but still only 60% can read/write. Health care is improving but diseases like malaria, HIV/AIDS, and malnutrition remain challenges. The largest cities are Lagos, Kinshasa, and Ab
Botswanna
The document provides a summary of the history and people of Botswana. It describes how the Bush people were the original inhabitants, followed by the Hottentots and Bantu speakers around 2,000 years ago. The Shona speakers settled in the northeast in the 10th century and the Tswana settled in the southeast in the 15th century. By the 18th century the Tswana were well established. In 1820, various clans began forming nations along the Botswana-South Africa border due to pressures from the Zulu and Boers.
Thirteen colonies
The document summarizes the 13 original colonies in British North America, dividing them into three regional groups: New England Colonies (Rhode Island, Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire), Middle Colonies (Delaware, Pennsylvania, New York, New Jersey), and Southern Colonies (Maryland, Virginia, North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia). It describes the religious, economic, and agricultural attributes of each colony. It also discusses the triangular slave trade between North America, Africa, and the West Indies, as well as the religious Great Awakening movement led by preachers Jonathan Edwards and George Whitefield in the 1730s-1770s.
US Southern Colonies Presentation
The document summarizes key aspects of the founding and development of the Southern Colonies of Virginia, North and South Carolina, and Georgia in 3 paragraphs.
Virginia was founded by commercial companies seeking trading partners and wealth. It struggled initially but developed a tobacco-based slave economy and representative government. North and South Carolina were settled to relieve population pressures in Virginia, relying on agriculture, slaves, and proprietary rule. Georgia was established later, receiving its charter in 1663 and developing fertile lands along rivers through the use of slaves and as a proprietary then royal colony.
African culture
Africa has immense cultural diversity due to its large size and geographical barriers separating peoples. [1] This has led to hundreds of distinct cultures within various nations and the use of European languages as official government languages. [2] Traditional African cultures place heavy emphasis on extended families and community over the individual. [3] Marriage customs, roles of family members, and beliefs surrounding death and the afterlife vary significantly between different ethnic groups across the continent.
Bahamian culture
Bahamian culture is defined by its unique art, music, food, and belief systems that distinguish the Bahamian people from others around the world. Over time, foreign influences from other cultures immigrating to the Bahamas and the impact of television have caused some changes in Bahamian traditions and customs. Now, the Bahamas is considered a melting pot as many cultures have mixed their traditions into Bahamian culture. The document also lists some of the Bahamas' national symbols like its anthem, flower, tree, bird, fish, coat of arms, motto and flag.

Mod3. lesson1. assmnt1.
The document summarizes the key attributes and effects of trade and religious/intellectual movements on the three regions of the original 13 colonies - New England, Middle, and Southern colonies. The New England colonies exported fish, lumber, grains and ships and had many ports for international trade. The Middle colonies focused on agriculture and industry like grain farming and textile/iron production. The Southern colonies specialized in cash crops like tobacco, rice and sugar grown on large plantations worked by many slaves. The triangular trade helped the economies of all three regions through imports and exports. The Great Awakening and Enlightenment led to more religious freedom and new ideas that influenced governance and improved farming/business.

America Compared
The document discusses the conquest and settlement of the West by Americans and Canadians and the impact on indigenous peoples. It describes how Indian societies were forced onto reservations and subjected to government laws and regulations in both countries. While Canada's relationship with Indians was less violent than in the US, negotiations and treaties often failed, and conflicts arose over land claims as officials wanted to expand into western territories inhabited by Indians. Officials in both countries tried to integrate and assimilate Indians through changes to religion, education, and culture, but these efforts largely did not succeed in achieving a smooth relationship between Indians and white settlers.
Haiti earthquake yr7
The 2010 Haiti earthquake that killed over 200,000 people was caused by movement along the boundary between the Caribbean and North American tectonic plates. Haiti sits along a conservative plate boundary where the plates move about 20 mm per year, building pressure until an earthquake occurs. A 7 magnitude earthquake struck just 15 km from the capital Port-au-Prince on January 12, 2010. The shallow depth of 13 km exacerbated the damage. Over 1.5 million people were left homeless as much of Port-au-Prince was destroyed, including important buildings and infrastructure. The poor conditions in Haiti made providing relief extremely difficult in the aftermath.
Zulu
The Zulu tribe originated in South Africa and are known for their brightly colored beads and baskets. They have a variety of traditional foods like sour milk, beer, and maize porridge. Zulu warriors dress distinctively, while British teenagers dress more casually. Zulu houses are made from simple materials like straw and dung, and are positioned based on the occupants' work, with farmers living near fields and workers near jobsites. The tribe was placed under British rule in the 1800s but regained independence after a war in 1906.
Tuareg
The Tuareg people number around 5.2 million living primarily in Niger, Mali, Algeria, Burkina Faso, and Libya. They are traditionally nomadic herders who wear distinctive blue or black veils and live in tents. The Tuareg society was historically divided between pastoralists and farmers, and they have resisted full adoption of Islam while integrating some rituals and holidays. Their staple foods include milk, porridge, bread, and cheeses from goats.
Fulani
The Fulani Tribe is an ethnic group spread across several West African countries including Guinea, Mali, The Gambia, and Nigeria. They originated in the 1st century AD and are primarily known as nomadic herders, though many now live in villages. Traditionally, the Fulani wear colorful, embroidered robes and hats. Women decorate themselves with jewelry. Their staple foods are millet, milk, and meat from their cattle herds, which are a sign of wealth. They live in dome-shaped houses during dry seasons and mat-covered houses during wet seasons.
Maasai
The Maasai live in East Africa and are known as herders and warriors. They rely on cattle for their livelihood, drinking milk and eating meat, though now also grow some crops. Maasai society is organized into male age groups that perform initiations and take on roles. They believe in the god Ngai, who created all and sent cattle to the Maasai via the wild fig tree. The Maasai live in traditional huts and villages, believe Ngai entrusted cattle to them, measure wealth by cattle, do rainmaking rituals during drought, wear distinctive hairstyles, and drink cows' blood for strength.
