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.

The Maasai Tribe
This presentation provides information about the Maasai tribe of Kenya. Some key facts are that a man's wealth is measured by the number of cattle and children he has. Males go through stages of boyhood, warriorhood, and elderhood. The Maasai consider the ground to be sacred and do not break it. They live in small villages made up of huts constructed from wood, mud, cow dung, and grass roofs. Their diet includes milk mixed with cow's blood during drought and meat from cattle. Women wear long patterned cloth and collect firewood and water, while men guard livestock.
Masai people
The Masai people are nomadic pastoralists who live in Kenya and Tanzania and follow their cattle herds. They are known as skilled warriors who have resisted colonization. Masai society has strict gender roles, with men owning livestock and going through stages as boys, warriors, and elders. Women care for children and homes and can become elders after having four children. They speak Maa and rely on cattle for food, clothing, and shelter.
Maasai Culture
The document provides information about the Maasai tribe of Kenya. It includes:
1) An assignment to describe one aspect of the Maasai's "surface culture" (visible customs and traditions) and one aspect of their "deep culture" (underlying beliefs and values).
2) Links to resources about the Maasai people, including a National Geographic profile of an anthropologist who studies them.
3) A reading assignment from a book about growing up in the Maasai tribe, along with comprehension questions about Maasai culture and lifestyle.

The Maasai people are a nomadic tribe living in Kenya and Tanzania who depend on cattle herding. They move locations periodically to access grazing lands for their livestock. The Maasai are traditionally warriors who resisted British colonization. They maintain many of their customs and lifestyle, continuing to herd livestock and follow seasonal patterns of hunting and gathering. Men belong to warrior, elder, or boy age sets and own cattle as a sign of wealth. Women care for children and homes, and make crafts. The Maasai speak Maa and maintain a strong cultural identity despite modern influences.
Maasais
The Maasai are a pastoral people who live on the plains of East Africa between Kenya and Tanzania. They live in circular villages surrounded by thorn fences and huts made of branches, grass, and cow dung. Maasai society is organized into male age groups and they have a spiritual leader but no single chief. The women care for the children, gather food and water, and make jewelry, while the men herd livestock and protect the village. Their diet consists primarily of meat and milk from their cattle, goats and sheep. They face threats from loss of land and wildlife conflicts.

The Masai Tribe lives in Kenya and Tanzania in East Africa. They are nomadic cattle herders who follow grazing patterns and live in homes made of sticks, grass, mud, and cow dung. Masai society has traditional gender roles, where men herd cattle and act as warriors and leaders, while women build homes, care for children, and make crafts. Masai culture is centered around their cattle, which provide milk, blood, and materials for tools and decorations. They live close to nature in the Masai Mara grasslands alongside wildlife like lions, giraffes, and elephants.
Texas Indians
The document summarizes several Native American groups that lived in Texas across different culture areas. In the Western Gulf Culture Area, the nomadic Karankawa lived along the coast and used dugout canoes, while the Coahuiltecan hunted and gathered across south Texas. In the Southeastern Culture Area, the agricultural Caddo lived in villages in eastern Texas, and the Wichita Confederacy settled along the Red River. The Atakapa lived between the Caddo and the Gulf coast, farming corn. In the Pueblo Culture Area, the Jumano lived in large villages along the Rio Grande, farming and hunting. On the Great Plains, groups like the Tonkawa and Apache depended on buff
Cross culture africa [pratik]
The document provides information on several African tribes and their cultures, including the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania, the Himba of Namibia, the San (Bushmen) of Southern Africa, and the Samburu of Northern Kenya. It describes aspects of their traditional lifestyles such as living as semi-nomadic pastoralists, herding livestock, styles of dress, housing, and roles of men and women. It also notes challenges they face from loss of land, dependence on farmers, and difficulties maintaining their way of life.
The naga
The history of the Naga is mysterious. After millennia of wandering, a number of different ethnic groups ended up in the hills of the Eastern Himalayas. Strange coincidences of culture and language through the Pacific led some scholars to suggest that the Nagas were an offshoot of groups that had originally descended from the central Asian plateau. And their burial customs, ornamentation, agricultural practices and even games and crafts, linked them strongly to the tribal peoples of Borneo and the Philippines. Here was a culture that might provide clues to some of the great migrations in human history*. Ethnically the Naga are of Mongoloid stock and linguistically belong to the Tibeto-Burman family.
Comparison of the maya, taino and the kalinago
A comparison of the three key indigenous groups that CXC examines in its annual examination in Caribbean History.
African Pastoralists
The document discusses and compares two East African pastoralist groups, the Turkana and Masai. The Turkana are semi-nomadic herders who move their livestock in response to changing environmental conditions and divide their herds based on water availability, relying on social networks for flexibility. The Masai are mainly cattle herders in a more moist environment and practice transhumance rather than opportunistic movement; their social organization involves patriarchal households and age sets that determine status. Both groups rely on livestock, especially cattle, for their livelihoods and place high cultural importance on warriorhood, but treat women as marginalized and their status depends on bearing sons.
Notes on maya religion, social and economic organization
The Maya social organization was divided into classes. Commoners lived simply with one-room houses and did agricultural work. Women had subordinate roles, caring for home and family. The nobility wore finer clothes and jewelry. Religion was important, with many gods and human sacrifice. Priests oversaw rituals and pyramids were religious centers. The Maya economy relied on intensive agriculture of crops like corn, and crafts like pottery and weaving were important trades.
Mbororo
The Mbororo are a semi-nomadic ethnic group living in Central African Republic and Chad with a population of 15-18 million total. They follow a mix of Islam and traditional customs, practicing Muslim rituals along with wearing fetishes and charms for protection. Family, cattle, strong morals, and cultural traditions like poetry, singing, and dancing are very important to Mbororo culture. They farm crops at homesteads while younger family members herd cattle during parts of the year.
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.
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.
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.
Dinka
The Dinka tribe inhabits the Bahr el Ghazal region of South Sudan and numbers around 1.5 million people, making up 10% of Sudan's population. They mainly live in rural areas and have a long history involving wars with other tribes. The Dinka have a monotheistic religion centered around Nhialic as the creator and source of life and death, performing rituals for events like births, deaths, and times of crisis. Their traditional diet consists of milk, meat, fish, beans, tomatoes, and rice.
Year 9 volcanoes display
The display at St Ives Town Library is about volcanoes and is aimed at Year 9 students. It will feature information about how volcanoes are formed and erupt, including the different types of eruptions. Interactive exhibits will allow students to learn in an engaging hands-on way about volcanic processes and the destructive but also creative forces of nature.
Yr9 volcanoes revision
This document provides revision materials for a Year 9 geography exam on volcanoes. It includes information on plate tectonics such as the four main types of plate boundaries (constructive, destructive, conservative, collision), and how each relates to volcanic activity. It also gives a case study on the 1997 eruption of the Soufrière Hills Volcano on the island of Montserrat in the Caribbean, which was caused by subduction at a destructive plate boundary. The document concludes with sample exam questions testing understanding of the materials presented.

Several other students also had photos submitted including Christopher G, George M, James T, Jasmine A, Elsa H, Cameron C, Laura F, Ryan H, Stanley W, Stefan G 1, Stefan G 2, Zoe B, and Niall T, Bethany M.
Tsunami Poem
The document describes the 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami and its devastating impact across South and Southeast Asian coastal regions. It includes a poem titled "Tsunami You Hit My Island Home" describing the tsunami's destruction from the perspective of Sri Lankans. It then tasks the reader to write their own poem titled "The Tsunami" from the perspective of either Amanthi or Muttiah, two characters mentioned, imagining what it would have been like to experience the tsunami firsthand. The poem should convey what was seen, felt, and heard, and what happened to friends and family through structured stanzas telling the story.
India Location And History
The document summarizes the history of India and the Indian subcontinent. It discusses how India was ruled by many empires due to its strategic location and natural resources. In 1947, British India was partitioned into the Dominion of Pakistan and the Union of India. The partition split the provinces of Punjab and Bengal along religious lines, dividing the regions between predominantly Hindu India and Muslim Pakistan. India has since become the second most populous country and has undergone rapid economic changes.
