The Vikings originated in Scandinavia and gradually expanded their influence across Europe from the 8th to 11th centuries. They raided and traded along the coasts and navigable rivers of Britain, Ireland, continental Europe, and even reached North America. The Vikings established settlements in Iceland, Greenland, and parts of Canada. Their civilization was organized into chieftain-led clans with distinct social roles and hierarchies. The Vikings made significant advances in seafaring technologies like their iconic longships, which allowed them to explore and influence many lands during the Viking Age.
This document provides historical information about New Zealand from the 1800s, including:
1) Maori ancestors first arrived in New Zealand around 1350 AD, with European contact beginning in 1642 when Abel Tasman visited. Captain Cook explored New Zealand in 1769.
2) Whalers and traders began settling New Zealand in the 1790s, with the first free settlers arriving from Australia in the early 1800s. The Treaty of Waitangi was signed in 1840.
3) Many settlers came from Britain, Ireland and Scotland between 1800-1900, with the population growing from a few hundred Europeans in 1830 to over 2,000 by 1840. Gold discoveries spurred additional migration in the mid-1800
The document summarizes the characteristics and cultural contributions of early Indonesian migrants to the Philippines from 5,000 years ago. It notes that they introduced permanent homes, cooking with fire, body painting, and lived by hunting, fishing and small-scale farming. It also describes some of their cultural influences, including living in tree houses, traditions of tattooing for social status and protection, woven clothing styles and natural dyes, religions that incorporated earth, sea and sky gods, and livelihoods including swidden farming, fishing, and crafts like basketry. Some of their descendant tribes still remain in interior parts of the Philippines today.
Early Filipinos lived in communities near bodies of water for access to food and protection. They resided in caves, nipa huts, tree houses, and houses on stilts. Their livelihoods included agriculture using kaingin and wet methods, hunting, boat-making, and trading using gold standards. Communities were organized into barangays led by a datu and council of elders who established laws and resolved conflicts. Society comprised datus, maharlika, timawa, and alipin. Burial practices varied among groups and included burying in trees, caves, or under homes.
Alfred Wegener first proposed the theory of continental drift in 1915, hypothesizing that around 200 million years ago, all the Earth's land masses were joined together in a single supercontinent called Pangaea. Pangaea began to break apart in the late Triassic period, separating into the supercontinents of Laurasia and Gondwanaland. By the end of the Cretaceous period, the continents had separated into their modern positions.

The history of Australia began with Aboriginal Australians arriving around 40,000-60,000 years ago. Europeans first arrived in 1606 when Dutch navigator Willem Janszoon landed, though permanent European settlement did not occur until 1788 when the British established a penal colony at Sydney Cove. Gold rushes in the 1850s brought a large influx of immigrants and great prosperity. By the late 19th century, the six British colonies had established self-government and voted for federation in 1901, forming the modern nation of Australia.
Before Spanish colonization, the early Filipinos lived in well-organized villages called barangays that were self-sustaining communities ruled by a datu. They had their own culture that included customs, society, government, writing and more. The barangays were made up of 30-100 families living in nipa huts. They ate foods like rice, meat and fruits, using banana leaves as plates. The early Filipinos wore clothes like the kangan jacket and bahag waist cloth for men.

The Maori people inhabited New Zealand for nearly 1000 years.docxcherry686017
The Maori people inhabited New Zealand for nearly 1000 years before the first European explorer to the island nation, the Dutchman Abel Tasman, sailed up the west coast and named it Niuew Zeeland, after the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands. Maori culture has always been an integral part of New Zealand, and an understanding of the Maori’s vividly chronicled history is critical to an understanding of New Zealand today.
The original inhabitants of New Zealand were Polynesians who arrived by canoe in a series of migrations. Among these were the Moriori, or moa hunters, early ancestors of the Maori, who arrived in a later migration. Historians estimate the first Polynesians arrived over 1000 years ago, possibly as early as 800 AD. Whether the islands were discovered by accident or design is uncertain, but the original peoples found a plentiful food supply and larger, more varied islands than anywhere else in the Pacific. They named the islands Aotearoa, or the land of the long white cloud.
In the early “Archaic” period of Polynesian settlement, inhabitants depended on the plentiful sea life and the large and spectacular moa, a flightless bird, now extinct, for their food supply. Later, in the “Classic Maori” period, agriculture became increasingly important, with kumara (sweet potato), taro, and yams the most important crops. Maori civilization was centered on the warmer North Island, with expeditions mounted to the South Island to search for jade
Maori societies were hierarchical, and revolved around the iwi (tribe) or hapu (sub-tribe). The hapu were further divided into whanau (extended family groups) that joined with each other to form communal villages. Positions of leadership were largely hereditary, and local chiefs of the whanau were under the authority of the ariki, the supreme chief of the entire tribe.
Maori religion was complex. Ancestor worship was important, and a variety of gods representing the sky, sea, mountains, war, agriculture, and so forth, were prominent. The notions of mauri (life force), wairua (spirit), mana (spiritual power or prestige), and tapu (taboo) were important. War, which had its own sacrifices, worship, rituals, and dance and art forms, was one of the ways to best promote the mana of a tribe. Wars were waged over territory or other things, with the losers often becoming slaves or food.
In 1642 the Dutch explorer Abel Tasman sailed up the west coast of New Zealand, but did not linger after his only landing attempt resulted in several of his crew being killed and eaten. New Zealand was left alone until Captain James Cook sailed around it in the Endeavor in 1796. Cook circumnavigated New Zealand on three separate voyages, making friendly contact with the Maori. After determining that New Zealand was not the fabled large southern continent Europeans were certain existed, Cook claimed it for the British Crown and sailed on to Australia.

Britain established Australia as a penal colony in 1788. Sheep farming and wool export became a major industry, though sheep were not native. Today, Australia is a highly urbanized and predominantly Christian nation that remains within the British Commonwealth but has been fully independent since 1901.
The document provides an overview of Oceania, including its geography, early inhabitants, and history of colonization. Some key points:
- Oceania is divided into three regions based on the native peoples' appearances - Polynesia, Melanesia, and Micronesia.
- The region was first settled over 40,000 years ago when people migrated from Southeast Asia. Austronesian peoples later arrived around 1500 BCE and established settlements throughout the islands.
- European powers began exploring Oceania in the 16th century and eventually colonized many islands and territories. Decolonization occurred throughout the late 20th century, with many places gaining independence.
The document provides information on typical foods, culture, history, and geography of Australasia. For Australia, it describes British-influenced cuisine including meat pies and Pavlova dessert. It also discusses Aboriginal culture and the origins of Australia as a penal colony. For New Zealand, it mentions cuisine featuring lamb, fish and chips. The region has a diverse landscape including the Great Barrier Reef, Great Ocean Road, and Uluru. Major cities have renowned cultural institutions while Australians also enjoy various sports.
The Maori are the indigenous Polynesian people of New Zealand, having arrived by canoe between 1280-1500 CE. They developed a unique culture with their own language, mythology, and performing arts. Maori society was traditionally stratified into classes like chiefs and commoners. While Maori populations declined due to European contact, they have worked to preserve their culture and language.
New Zealand is an island country located in the southwestern Pacific Ocean consisting of two main islands and numerous smaller islands. It has a population of around 5 million people, with its capital and largest city being Wellington and Auckland respectively. New Zealand culture is a blend of Māori and European influences, with the Māori being the indigenous people who first settled the islands centuries ago and brought their Polynesian culture, while British colonists in the 1800s introduced Western culture and language. Key aspects of New Zealand culture include Māori traditions like the haka dance and marae meeting spaces, alongside British cultural holdovers and newer immigrant influences from Asia and the Pacific islands.
Australia is an island continent located in the Southern Hemisphere comprising the mainland and Tasmania. It was originally inhabited by indigenous Australians and later colonized by Britain in 1770. In 1901, the six colonies federated to form the Commonwealth of Australia. Australia has diverse landscapes ranging from deserts to tropical rainforests and the Great Barrier Reef. It has a strong economy and is known for its unique fauna like kangaroos and koalas as well as landmarks like Uluru and Sydney Opera House.
New Zealand is called the youngest country on the planet because it was the last major landmass to be discovered. New Zealand was discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Janszoon Tasman in 13th Dec 1642. The settlements on the New Zealand are very recent as compared to settlements on other parts of the world.

This document provides summaries of books available to borrow about the islands of New Zealand from the New Zealand Society of Genealogists library. It describes 14 books that cover the history and people of various islands including Stewart Island, Kawau Island, Moturoa Island, Waiheke Island, Great Barrier Island, Matiu/Somes Island, the Chatham Islands, Raoul Island, and the Kermadec Islands. The books discuss topics like early European settlement, whaling, copper mining, lighthouses, and the unique wildlife and ecosystems found on these isolated islands off the coast of New Zealand.
The Maori are the indigenous people of New Zealand, making up around 15% of the country's population today. They arrived in New Zealand from eastern Polynesia around 1200 AD. Before European settlement, the Maori lived throughout New Zealand. In the late 18th century, British colonists began arriving and conflicts arose between the Maori and European settlers in the 1800s. While some Maori lands were confiscated, the population has since rebounded and Maori culture remains an important part of New Zealand's national identity.

WH E N M Y W I F E , M A R I E , A N D I W E R E V A C A T I O N I N G I N Australia one summer, we decided to visit a site with well-
preserved Aboriginal rock paintings in the desert near the town of Men-
indee. While I knew of the Australian desert's reputation for dryness and
summer heat, I had already spent long periods working under hot, dry
conditions in the Californian desert and New Guinea savanna, so I consid-
ered myself experienced enough to deal with the minor challenges we
would face as tourists in Australia. Carrying plenty of drinking water,
Marie and I set off at noon on a hike of a few miles to the paintings.
The trail from the ranger station led uphill, under a cloudless sky,
through open terrain offering no shade whatsoever. The hot, dry air that
we were breathing reminded me of how it had felt to breathe while sitting
in a Finnish sauna. By the time we reached the cliff site with the paintings,
we had finished our water. We had also lost our interest in art, so we
pushed on uphill, breathing slowly and regularly. Presently I noticed a bird
that was unmistakably a species of babbler, but it seemed enormous com-
pared with any known babbler species. At that point, I realized that I was
experiencing heat hallucinations for the first time in my life. Marie and I
decided that we had better head straight back.
296 G U N S , G E R M S , AND STEEL
Both of us stopped talking. As we walked, we concentrated on listening
to our breathing, calculating the distance to the next landmark, and esti-
mating the remaining time. My mouth and tongue were now dry, and
Marie's face was red. When we at last reached the air-conditioned ranger
station, we sagged into chairs next to the water cooler, drank down the
cooler's last half-gallon of water, and asked the ranger for another bottle.
Sitting there exhausted, both physically and emotionally, I reflected that
the Aborigines who had made those paintings had somehow spent their
entire lives in that desert without air-conditioned retreats, managing to
find food as well as water.
To white Australians, Menindee is famous as the base camp for two
whites who had suffered worse from the desert's dry heat over a century
earlier: the Irish policeman Robert Burke and the English astronomer Wil-
liam Wills, ill-fated leaders of the first European expedition to cross Aus-
tralia from south to north. Setting out with six camels packing food
enough for three months, Burke and Wills ran out of provisions while in
the desert north of Menindee. Three successive times, they encountered
and were rescued by well-fed Aborigines whose home was that desert, and
who plied the explorers with fish, fern cakes, and roasted fat rats. But then
Burke foolishly shot his pistol at one of the Aborigines, whereupon the

The document provides an overview of England and the United Kingdom during the reign of Queen Elizabeth II. It summarizes that England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland make up the United Kingdom. England and Wales have been ruled as a single state since 1283. Ireland was gradually conquered by England starting in the 12th century. France once ruled parts of England but no longer did by Elizabeth's reign. The population of England was around 3 million in Elizabeth's time, with most people living rurally. Villages were the centers of rural life, dominated by the church and local landowners. London was the largest city. The document then briefly discusses education, the scientific revolution, popular beliefs, and the arts during this period.
New Zealand is an island country located in the South Pacific Ocean. It has two main islands and numerous smaller islands, with a population of over 4 million people. The indigenous Maori people first settled in New Zealand between 800-1300 CE and developed a unique culture before Europeans began exploring and colonizing the islands in the 17th century. Today, New Zealand has a mixed culture with Maori traditions integrated alongside European influences. English and Maori are both official languages, and sports like rugby union and cricket are an important part of national identity.

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

11. Powhiri is a welcoming ceremony used to welcome
visitors on to marae but it can be seen on a daily basis
in New Zealand because it is part of their lifestyle.
("Maori culture," )
The ceremony includes speeches, dancing, singing and
hongi. ("Maori culture," )
The importance of the ceremony is to bring 2 groups
together, negotiating the terms of their meeting and
ending with guests joining their hosts as one. ("Maori
culture," )
The ceremony can be for visitors, or for a funeral, or
for tourist to experience. ("Maori culture," )
Powhiri usually consists of these basics:
Wero- is the challenge where Maori warriors will perform
intimidating gestures and expressions, shouting out battle
scream acting as if ready for war. They will leave a leaf or
carved effigy as a symbolic offering. ("Maori culture," )
Karanga-the call is when female callers bring a range of
imagery and cultural expression. ("Maori culture," )
Whaikorero- which are the formal speeches of the home
people. ("Maori culture," )

Waiata is a song sung by the home people. ("Maori

Koha is a gift which is given by the guests which is an
envelope of money. ("Maori culture," )
Hongi is the non-verbal gesture which consists of pressing
of noses signifying the joining together of the guests and
the home people. ("Maori culture," )
Hakari is the meal that is shared by the joining of people

2011)
Hongi – the unique and very sacred Maori
physical embrace where the visitors and hosts
become one. “The hongi is the traditional greeting
(Maori Culture in NZ, 2011)
of nose pressing. It is the exchange of the ha, or
breath of life… This greeting creates the visitor at
one with the tangata whenua (hosts)”. “The most
sacred part of the Maori is the face and the
head. When you make contact with another human,
it’s the embracing, the light touching of the
noses. Because you’re now dealing with the most
sacred part of the person. It’s the essence of life
to mankind. (Haymond, 2008)
14. One area where men have low representation
is in early childhood education (ECE). In
2010, there were 19,901 early childhood
teachers in New Zealand, only 349 (1.75%)
of whom were men.
Similar to ECE, nursing is another non traditional role
where men are the minority. Only 7.76% of New Zealand
nurses are male. Men are deterred from the nursing
profession for similar reasons that they are deterred from
ECE including; believing others would see them as unmanly,
having limited career options and being poorly paid.
Concerted effort is required to recruit more men in nursing
and to break gendered stereotypes.

15. Gender Roles Continued
The Modern Apprenticeship Scheme aims to increase the
number of young people in industry training. The
traditional under-representation of women in non-
traditional work represents a significant opportunity for
improved female participation and increased diversity in
the Modern Apprenticeship Scheme. However it has
failed to deliver gender equality to date.
In 2010, there were 11,926 modern apprentices87.
Female participants accounted for 12.4% but this
is almost entirely due to the inclusion of
hairdressing in the modern apprenticeship scheme.
Without hairdressing the women’s participation
rate drops to 8.4%.

Ta Moko is a type of art form used my the Maori people of New Zealand.
The Maori, being the natives to the New Zealand land. This type of art goes
far back. Ta Moko is a tattoo; not just any tattoo, it is applied by chiseling
it into the skin as opposed to normal tattoos using a needle. Ta Moko for
men can be anywhere on the body, but for women it is primarily on the lips
and face. Wiki (2011)
J.M. Wilson (2003). The Maori people have tribes, by using the
Ta Moko, one could communicate which tribe they belonged to and their
place in the tribe such as their social standing. Ta Moko was used to convey
someone’s ancestry. As time has gone on the use of Ta Moko’s has declined,
as has the ability to read someone’s Ta Moko. The Maori are not required
to get Ta Moko’s, they get them because they choose to. The symbols and
designs on their tattoos are unique to them. If you can read someone’s Ta
Moko you can learn a lot about them, who they are, and where they came
from. The Maori obviously are very proud of their heritage or they would
not chose to adorn their bodies with it.
Many people in our culture are very cautious around those who
would have tattoos all over their bodies, especially their face. “Americans
place an undue emphasis on looks” (p.95. Understanding Nonverbal
Messages: Appearance. Blue Book). Having a lot of tattoos here in America
can sometimes be tied to bikers and criminals, this kind of stereotyping
would make it hard for us to communicate with the Maori, but by
understanding their culture and the purpose behind the Ta Moko we can
communicate with less judgment and more acceptance.
20. Anyone who has seen a movie based in
Europe or Australia knows that English has
some different dialects. The same is true
for the English spoken in New Zealand. Even
though we speak the same language as New
Zealanders the fact that we speak a
different dialect would make it difficult
for us to understand some of the things
they say. The term for the English used by
New Zealanders is called “Kiwi Slang”. An
example of some confusion that we would
find by the language is terms like “brassed
off” meaning annoyed, another would be
“yonks” meaning forever. What might sound
weird to us, makes complete sense to them.
Our biggest asset in communication is
awareness. Do your research before
traveling to another country, you can easily
look up Kiwi Slang and print out a guide of
the different words and their meaning to
help you out in communicating with New
Zealanders. By being aware of these
differences in our language we can help
bridge the gap of communication.

24. A way to interact and communicate with the
Maori culture, is to attend a Hangi, which is a
way of cooking food (Kai is the Maori word for
food) and a social occasion to share with
friends and family.
Hangi is a special way of cooking food under the ground using red hot rocks and steam.
Rocks or bricks are heated on a pile of burning wood.
When the rocks are hot they need to be carefully rolled or lifted into a pit in the ground and the
wire baskets of food quickly put on top.
The basket is then covered with wet sheets and the wet sheets get covered with wet sacks. Then
the sacks are covered with dirt.
The water from the wet cloths turns into steam through the heat of the rocks, the steam can’t
escape through the dirt so it steam cooks the food.
The meat is put in the basket first basket (chicken, fish, shellfish, pork and lamb), the veggies on

Anzac Day
Held on Apirl 25 is similar to our Veterans Day. It is to commemorate those who
died in the service of their country and to honor those servicemen and women who
returned. This originated from the anniversary of the landing of the Australian
and New Zealand Army Corps at Gallipoli in 1915.
On the first anniversary of that landing services were held throughout the
country in remembrance of the 2,721 New Zealand soldiers who died during the
eight-month Gallipoli Campaign. Since 1916 Anzac Day has evolved to the
observance we know today.
They even have a special cookie called an Anzac Biscuit (cookie).

Waitangi Day
Held on February 6 February to commemorate the signing of New Zealand's
founding document - the Treaty of Waitangi - in 1840. This holiday was first
declared in 1974, and has grown in significance for all New Zealanders through
the Māori renaissance that has fostered better understanding of the Treaty’s
ramifications. Official celebrations are held at the Waitangi Treaty Grounds in
the Bay of Islands, Northland, but there are also many other events throughout
the country.

Our goal was to present aspects of New
Zealand's life as a way to developing knowledge
of their culture. We did this through verbal and
non verbal aspects of life: the history giving us a
good understanding of where the culture had
originated from; etiquette, how to understand
the different rituals and way of greeting both
Maori and Kiwi’s, verbally and non verbally;
clothing, what to expect , and to understand the
history of the Moari’s clothing; art and how this
is portrayed on peoples bodies with pride of
their heritage, and language, by better
understanding the slang and different words New Zealand Culture was
used gives us a better means for communication; presented by:
food and drinks, a non verbal way of Statistics, facts and history by
communicating, and a verbal way of Nina Rybak
understanding the different names and types of Etiquette and Rituals
food eaten; Holidays, special days that are a big by Priscilla Wilson
