The M �� Ori Culture

Misra (2017) suggests that the Olmec culture of Mesoamerica heavily practiced yoga from Hindu-Buddhist culture, and were originally migrants from China - specifically, from the Shang and Xia dynasties. Evidence is drawn from Misra’s interpretations of various Olmec artwork (including statues and figurines) as depictions of yogic asanas, and as influenced by Hindu-Buddhist religion as well as Chinese-style sculptures. These theories are based on the sudden appearance of the Olmec culture in Mesoamerica, therefore the Olmecs were migrants from China who were influenced by Hindu practices.

The Samurai were warriors in Japan. They were around during pre modern Japan. As you know the samurai were warriors these warriors came around very early they were first in Japan as early as 8th century c.e.

The Olmecs were farmers, traders, artists… innovators. The Olmec culture first emerged in the Isthmus region of Tehuantepec. The site of San Lorenzo, which sits on the Coatzacoalcos River, sheds the most light on this mysterious culture. During this time period, The Initail Formative, food surplus sparked an increase in population and career specialization. With the increase of specialization and sedentism came the environment for complex culture.

Over sixty-five million people in the United States are runners. Of these runners, only a few can call themselves ultramarathoners. Any race longer than 26.2 miles is an ultramarathon. Whether someone is a weekend jogger or a fully committed ultramarathoner, they can learn from the example of the Raramuri. The Raramuri are a nomadic Native American tribe in the Copper Canyons of Mexico. Their entire culture revolves solely around running. The natives travel on foot from Chihuahua, Mexico to the Copper Canyons, a journey of over 600 miles. The name Raramuri literally means "the light-footed one." The strategies that the Raramuri use to survive develop who they are, how they stay separate from the world, and how they can run for so long.

In 1976, an archaeology class was digging up remains on land owned by the University of California when they excavated two skeletons (termed the “La Jolla remains”) that are almost 10,000 years old, which made them some of the oldest known human remains in North America. NAGPRA was passed in 1990, and the University of California gave the Kumeyaay nation – consisting of thirteen federally-recognized Native American tribes – legal custody of the human remains. In 2006, the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee claimed the remains. In 2007, the Native American Heritage Commission, which is the organization that identifies and catalogs Native American artifacts, stated that the Kumeyaay Cultural Repatriation Committee as the likely descendants

Indigenous Australian and Torres Strait Island cultures have the oldest living history in the world. They trace back at least 50,000 years and some argue closer to 65,000 years. Events, policies and attitudes of the past have impacted this rich and diverse culture.

In Pikuni society what separates a man from a boy is his reputation and goals he has accomplished, an example of this is White Man’s Dog getting praise for the raid and being seen as more mature and reliable. What separates a woman from a girl is her ability to bear children and attract men, an example of this is how people saw Red Paint differently after she had married White Man's Dog, she was seen as more important and not like an object for sale at a store. In our society what separates the young from the grown is our maturity, ability to care for ourselves, goals we have accomplished, and training we have gained. The difference in transitions from old to young shows us some of the cultural differences between us and the Pikunis by giving

The mountains are primarily composed of extinct cinder cones and larger volcanoes, perhaps the largest caldera of which today contains Lake Catemaco (Adams 50).

One of the many things that I always love to do is to watch a movie, wither it was going to be a marathon, or going to be four hours long, I’ll still watch to the very end, unless I’m so lost in the story. But never the less, the movie of a girl who was never supposed to be alive and later become the leader of her families culture inspired me, then reminded me of how my family culture are to me, though I don’t share that much relations with pai and her situation but mainly her father and I share some common interest as in caring about the culture vary much but not going to do what they intended then instead, he would go off and do what he likes to do and not what’s already planned for him. Though I know that I have one thing that me and pai share, which is to have the culture live on longer then to end in front of our eyes. This is what I’d like to do for my culture one day, not after I finished college or something I’ll do right away cause, I want to do my own thing as well for a few years.

Three sticks, heavy twine, a sturdy nail and a dried chili pepper are not used to make a slingshot. These ingredients are well known within the voodoo culture. This is not a new age fad, this is a spiritual experience that runs deep in history. Kongo, now known as Angola, was one of the five African colonies discussed in Robert Farris Thompson’s “Flash of the Spirit: African and Afro-American Art and Philosophy.” Kongo is located in the west central area of Africa near other colonies such as the Belgian Congo and the People’s Republic of Congo-Brazzaville. To distinguish themselves these non-Kongo people, the Kongo and Bakongo individuals spelled their name with a K instead of a C. The Kongo civilization was a very artistic group of individuals

The Mbuti people are known as foragers because their main source of survival lies on hunting and gathering as they move from one place to another. They originated from a region in Africa called Congo. The Mbuti people even with their fairly decent population prefer to be grouped into smaller groups or bands which are mostly made up of close relatives. They live in the rainforests of central Africa, where they have lived popularly for more than 6000 years now.
