In a country known for its elegant and flashy display of beautiful and wealth, there are groups of people, particular in the Amazon Rainforest, who still live detached from modernity and lifestyle of the contemporary world. Even though some of those groups live in voluntary isolation, they are united in their fight for land and environmental rights. One of these groups is the Kayapo, a group of around nine thousand indigenous people, who lives in the village of Gorotire along the Xingu River. Although the Kayapo have famously evolved from an isolated tribute to active voice against numerous developmental projects proposed by the Brazilian government, other groups such as rubber tappers in the Xapuri area have also made significant progress in securing political and cultural rights. While these communities and indigenous groups often share different cultures and customs, they are connected through a common struggle: defending their cultural and political identity amidst oppression and neglect from the Brazilian government.

The process of producing my Senior Science SciTech Final Summative was quite lengthy and moderately difficult. To start, choosing a connecting course was difficult as I only had Advanced Functions and English as options. When I did choose a course to connect to, it was fairly easy to find a topic relating to Physics as I could choose anything as long as I created a research report to satisfy the requirements to my connecting course. Moving on, the research component was quite difficult and I found it to be the hardest part of this summative. This was due to the fact that the topic I chose was not fairly established. Although there was research available for me, I often found myself connecting the dots, as it was not so straightforward. However,

Agriculture has been the central figure of Ecuador’s economy for most of the country’s history. Agriculture is the second largest section of the economy. Coffee, bananas, and cacao, which is used to make chocolate, have been long important agricultural products. Forty percent of the country’ export earnings come from the crops. Ecuador is the world’s top supplier of bananas. Banana farms spread out around the city of Machala on the southern coast. Coffee and cacao are also important crops grown for export. In addition to large scale farming, Ecuador has many small farms. In 1964 a law broke up large farms and gave small plots of land to local people. These farms are about 12 acres in size. The people who farm them typically grow enough food

It has been shown that most societies that depend on foragers and hunting rely on close family ties for survival. Kinship is important because of the lack of resources (Nowak, 2010). Mbuti is a tribe of foragers and hunters, living on the resources they extract from forest. The Mbuti live in an area with an abundance of resources and close ties are not needed. Mbuti is the aboriginal name of the tribe; however the tribe is divided into sub-group (Mbuti and Efe). The name of the tribe depends on the dialect spoken. The Mbuti predominately speak the language of the Bantu and the Efe dialect is of the Sudanic language. The two clans of pygmies share a tropical rainforest stretching into the northeast sector of the Congo. The “Forest” is the core of the Mbuti culture (Mosko, p. 898, para. 6, 1987 a).

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).

Freeze drying method was invented in the Peru, it is called chuño and they are still drying potatoes like this. And what Peruvians drink after these delicate foods?
