    What Is The Peoplehood Matrix?

    This can be seen by looking at the diagram at the Arizona State Museum showing the Apaches’ annual subsistence cycle that included farming, hunting, raiding, and gathering. The cycles were very important for the Apache to sustain themselves. The Apache believed that this knowledge came from the Mountain Spirit People know as the Gaan. The Gaan were the ones that had knowledge of the plants and animals of the mountain and they shared this knowledge to the Apache. The Apache have a great understanding of the cycles that take place in their homeland and it creates a strong relationship between them and nature.…

    King Philip S Herds Indians Colonists And The Problem Of Livestock In Early New England

    When the Indians encountered the European livestock, they found them very peculiar. They were confused on what to called them so they looked from similar qualities between the livestock and their indigenous animals and used the same name for both. Since most domesticated livestock didn’t have any similarities, the Indians used neologism and gave most of then Indian names such as cowsnuck, goatesuck, hogsuck or pigsuck. Indians were not very fond of livestock and the idea of animal husbandry did not look very appealing to them.…

    The Nez Perce

    The Nez Perce have been known by many different names since they have been a tribe. A tribe elder said that before they had horses they were called "Cuupn'itpel'uu" which means " we walked out of the woods". Next, they were called "Nimi''ipuu" which means "real people" or " we the people". Then, Lewis and Clark gave them their well known name Nez Perce, which means "pierced nose" in French. That was a strange name for the tribe since the Nimi''ipuu didn't practice the art of piercing. They found out later that they were mistaken for a tribe that lived farther south and did practice piercing. This tribe doesn't even call themselves Nez Perce, they go by Nimi''ipuu.…

    Rohingya Problem in Bangladesh

    The term "Rohingya" comes from Rohang, the Rohingya word for the state of Arakan, from where the Rohingya originate. Though some Rohingya historians, like Khalilur Rahma, contend that the term Rohingya may be derived from the Arabic word Rahma meaning 'mercy', this is unlikely. They trace the term back to a shipwreck in the 8th century CE. According to them, after the Arab ship wrecked near Ramree Island, Arab traders were ordered to be executed by the Arakaneseking. Then, they shouted in their language, 'Rahma'. Hence, these people were called 'Raham'. Gradually it changed from Raham to Rhohang and finally to Rohingyas. However, the claim was disputed by Jahiruddin Ahmed and Nazir Ahmed, former president and Secretary of the Arakan Muslim Conference respectively. They argued that shipwreck Muslims are currently called 'Thambu Kya' Muslims, and currently reside along the Arakan sea shore. If the term Rohingya was indeed derived from that group of Muslims, "Thambu Kyas" would have been the first group to be known as Rohingyas. According to them, Rohingyas were descendants of inhabitants of Ruha in Afghanistan. Another…
