The Diary of Lady Nijo during the 13th and 14th centuries of early tradition Japan provides a primary account of what life was like for a female from the time 1271 to 1306. Lady Nijo’s life is one of sadness and suffering. As the daughter of Masatada Koga, Lady Nijo gives us a personal account of how women in court life had to conduct themselves and highlights the conduct between female and male in early traditional Japan. After losing her mother at age two and her father at fifteen, she is raised under the Retired Emperor Gofukakusa. Lady Nijo is powerless at times to the wills and wants of those in the court family. Her role as a woman during the time period shows the reader just how arduous life was for a female during the time period. Lady Nijo had a certain role she had to conform to because of the circumstances she endured. Lady Nijo’s relationship with not only the retired Emperor, Gofukakusa, but a high court official Akebono, as well as Ariake, Gofukakusa’s half-brother and a Buddhist monk made her appear as more of a pawn. Lady Nijo bears children with all of these men previously mentioned, and as her life

In Japan being pure Japanese is a big part of their cultural background among this crowd are a few people that Japanese people would call hafu or half Japanese. Ariana Miyamoto better known as Miss Universe Japan is half Japanese and African American she exclaims, that even though she speaks fluent Japanese and was born and raised in Japan she was made fun of her whole life because of her outer appearance. As Miss Japan Ariana wants to raise awareness and encourage others like her that they have a place in society and that its okay to be different and to stand out. It is said that one out of 30 babies in Japan are half Japanese with the numbers continually increasing as interracial marriage in Japan begin rising causing more of these kids to

Today we live in a globalized world, the world is interlinked on so many social, political, and economic levels that everyone’s culture has somewhat bled into each other’s. So it is extremely rare for anthropologist to find tribes like the Yanomami. “The Yanomami are a tribe of roughly twenty thousand Amazonian Indians living in 200 to 250 villages along the border between Venezuela and Brazil.” (Borofsky, R., & Albert, B. 2005). The Yanomami have been studied by anthropologist since the 1950’s and are said to be important to anthropologist because of the unique lifestyle they live mostly unpolluted by the western world (Tiffany,S., Adams, K., 2002). When people are as isolated as the Yanomami, it gives anthropologist an amazing opportunity to study the unique development of a society. A product of society is social construction, a social construct is an invented idea that is created according to specific criteria that is established within a social system, the world that we know and the most rules that we follow are socially constructed. One of the biggest social constructions is gender, gender is a social construct that can seep into every area of life the gendered practices of the Yanomami are across most areas of their life, from childrearing to politics and religion the Yanomami live very unique lives that we can and should learn so much from, however, today the Yanomamis way of life is under threat.

On October 14th, 1893 I was brought into this world by a woman named Mary Robinson Gish and a man named James Leigh de Guiche, but I would know them as mom and dad . I would follow by the name Lillian Diana Gish. When I was an infant, my father was in the grocery business then became a candy salesman. (Lillian Gish Facts) When I was four-years-old, my mother announced to my father and I that she was pregnant with a second child, a child that would be named Dorothy Elizabeth Gish. That birth earned me the title of the elder daughter (Biography).

As a child Mairi Waudby lived on a very beautiful tropical island, Hay Ling Chau. The Island is geographically located in the vicinity of Hong Kong; at the time Hong Kong was a British Colony. The island was covered in pine trees and gorgeous sandy beaches and the houses were built in the traditional Chinese style with granite walls and curved terracotta roofs. The island was a leprosy hospital run by the Leprosy Mission where Mairi father acted as administer of the island and her mother worked as a part time doctor in Hong Kong hospitals but also worked on the island. During the week Mairi lived in various places in Hong Kong so she could go to school and over weekends and holidays Mairi returned to the island.

It is such an honor for us to be here with our 2nd mom, "Mama Louise". She will be 93 years old next month. Even laying quietly in a hospital bed, with her eyes closed, she literally beams with WISDOM, LOVE and COMPASSION. She is such a role model for all of us.

However what needs to be maintained, how and by whom are questions that have not yet been fully examined (Cretney, 2014) (Reference). Such questions are of particular relevance to Amazonian Indigenous peoples whose intimacy with their land has shaped their culture and perceptions of themselves to such an extent that their individual and collective psychic identities are rooted on the system’s identity (Albretch, 2011).

"Don't be mad now. C'mon guys, get together, don't be so mad now." The classic line for the arranged family group photos. The line my cousins and I always giggle about. The words that constantly slide out of my Grandma Di's lips. This line, always makes me "not be mad now". There are many people in my life whose lives have played a role in my own. One person in particular who I would like to thank for their role in my life is Dianne Elton or as I refer to, Grandma Di. I'd like to thank my Grandma Di for showing me joy through her joy for the arts, her joy of her family, and for her joy of life.

The film, “The Spirit of Kuna Yala” expresses the perspective of the native peoples from the San Blas Islands of Panama. What makes this documentary dynamic is not that it is solely the perspective of the Kuna, but it gives insight that some of the individuals do believe that globalization of the world has benefits of their own, and is not just a force that dismantles fragile culture and the environment. The program, PEMASKY, maintains the forest of the Kuna Yala while still using the resources that it supplies to humans. The Kuna have contained the land for thousands of years, and believes it has to do with their identity inconjuction to the land, "we realize that the customs, the traditions ,that are practiced by the Kuna community, are

Department of Anthropology at the University of Toronto’s downtown campus where she also serves as the director of the Centre for Southeast Asian Studies, and the Canada Research Chair in the Political-Economy and Culture of Asia. The twenty years she spent in Indonesian island of Sulawesi afforded her rich material to write her book entitled “Land’s End: Capitalist Relations on an Indigenous Frontier”, which was published in 2014; an article in the Journal of Peasant Studies, among other things, entitled “Food Sovereignty: A Critical Dialogue”, and to give an interesting lecture at the University of Toronto Scarborough entitled “Capitalism from Above and Below”.

In this reading, the main topic is about the relationship between wildlife conservation policies (outsiders) and the native people Mt. Meru. Their situation is similar to what many natives must face in the developing world: policy-making by outside people on land that was not theirs in the first place. Like the Native Americans of the Americas, Europeans migrated to Africa and settled in areas that they had no rights to. Despite there being people who have been there for many years, this was almost obsolete to them. They began creating policies to control the resources used in such areas. For example, this article speaks of “tightening of state control over forest and wildlife resources on the mountain at the expense of existing customary rights…”

What stands out in regards to the dimensions of community development is the social development of the Gapuwiyak family centre, in direct conflict with the non-aboriginal (Balanda) health professionals of the Gapuwiyak clinic. The Balanda project workers realisations that top down community development approaches are ineffective though the Balanda health professional’s refusal to relinquish power to the Gapuwiyak people (Yolngu) was laden with structural issues and inequalities. For example, the conservatism and political underdevelopment, as evidenced by the power play between Balanda health professionals and the Yolngu; the classism, as evidenced by the Balanda workers' belief that the Yolngu were not able to manage their own affairs and

Answer: Indigenous technologies and the land began in 1998-99.The time sequences of this story is spring 1999 to autumn 1995 like the hermit crab running backwards on the intertidal zone in the dark hours looking for a home a snail shell running forwards sideways in circles the quest is Indigenous ecological knowing and practices eco-technologies and survivance stories respectful research practices. We become trespassers on our own land retroactively for a dozen generations. The newcomer arrived in our territories they have created social-spiritual and environmental cries for us or survivances and regeneration are threats to mainstream socio-political legitimacy and epis-etymological supremacy. Sites of learning: Communal experiences become incorporated in the language of family and community. The mutually reinforcing influence of each of these learning sites-language family, community and ceremony is like a medicine, wheel always in motion, with each quadrant drawing from and enriching all the others. Language instruction in elementary, secondary school, oral history and culture courses the sites of learning extend beyond the family hearth and the village council of former times. The impact of ceremonies are carried outward from the traditional camp
