The word indigenous derives from a latin root which is connected with birth, reproduction, and death. It has the same meaning as the word native but, in many parts of the world because it carries too many negative associations.”Referring to indigenous peoples in the twenty-first century is not the same as describing them a hundred years ago, and it will be different a hundred years into the future: neither they nor their situation will be the same.” (locations 262-264) No peoples today live the life

This rock art is the earliest depiction of religious experience and belief. A later group of indigenous people that existed in Southern Africa were the ‘Bantu Speaking Farmers’.
Maasai villagers, Tehranians, Americans—each is a society. But what does this mean? Exactly what is a society? In sociological terms, society refers to a group of people who live in a definable community and share the same culture. On a broader scale, society consists of the people and institutions around us, our shared beliefs, and our cultural ideas. Daily life always changes, it can be hard one day and joyful the next, but daily life has changed so much between preindustrial, industrial, and postindustrial
10,000 years ago the BC hunter-gatherer societies existed near Bogota and they traded with cultures that lived near the Magdalena River. A big problem that the Bogota faced with trading was they lived kind of far away from the Magdalena River and that is where they traded with cultures. They traded goods such as beads, ornaments, and many other goods. Between 500 and 1000 BCE hunter-gatherer tribes fixed settlements and that’s how pottery appeared. In the first millennium the BCE groups (Amerindians)
move from hunter-gatherers to agriculturists, and what were the impacts socially, politically, and technically? “Agriculture did not emerge from an untapped resource base or randomly distributed family or tribal units of Homo sapiens sapiens. It emerged as the result of efforts by highly organized ecologically canny communities composed of skilled hunter-gatherers.” In the beginning of what is considered burgeoning civilization, humanities ancestors were what were called hunter-gatherers.

James H. Merrell, it is important to acknowledge the symbolicism of the language used by so many Colonial Historians as they recount significant instances throughout our Indigenous American History. In many comparisons, word selection used to describe the Native peoples, tend to simplify their existence as merely hunters and gatherers.

1. Anthropology and the Study of Culture a. The field of anthropology that I find to be most interesting is anthropological linguistics. Personally, I believe this subdivision is so interesting because it is so diverse and covers so much ground on how our language and others have evolved over time. Ranging from early cave writings, to sign language, to the language and slang we all know and use today, language among not only our cultures but also others have vastly changed and there is proof of
