The first is it represents my faith in God. Kanakuk is a Christian sports camp, and I go not only to connect with others and have a blast, but to grow my faith with God. When you're at camp, you just feel God's love and presence all around you! Second, at camp we live in teepees. This represents the nature side of me. Most people think that living in a teepee would be the worst thing ever, but it is one of my favorite parts of camp. Finally, the tribal charm. You are randomly assigned a tribe, and we had one day where we had tribal competitions. I grew so much closer to the girls…

    We have many great clubs here at Chino Hills High School. One of my favorites is the Polynesian club. I like watching them dance because it is really entertaining and fun to watch. Andrew Santos is a junior here at Chino Hills High and is in Poly. He is a junior officer for the club. What they do is teach people Hawaiian and Tahitian style of dancing.

He had a lot of fun there and wanted to do it when he was going to be a freshman at Chino Hills High. He plans to continue it for all four years of high school. Now, he is an officer, which means he helps choreograph and teach…

    To reach Thull, a Kohistani community that is found in the mountains near the border of Pakistan and Afghanistan, you have to make a hazarding trip on an endless dirt road that is unattainable in bad weather. The Kohistani are inherently a violent people who strongly believe in vengeance and had most of their fighting take place between descent groups. For the most part conflict was handled by local leaders, and there was usually no fatal accident due to a lack of fatal weapons. The lack of guns was due to the lack of roads that limited economic development, which limited the amount of money a person could amass. However, when Pakistan took charge in 1965, a number of social and economic developments took place. The roads that were installed made it possible for Thull to be linked to other parts of Pakistan. Included with the overwhelming amount of changes that followed, Kohistani violence evolved due to the outside impression that all started because of the roads. By the way that Kohistani violence and other facets of their culture changed when the roads were introduced, it shows how interconnected everything is. The introduction of the road demonstrated how culture is integrated by the way it altered subsistence strategies, increased violence, and brought innovative ideas to religion.…

    It started with a narrator telling a story to a group of peasants sitting in a chalk circle about how a child of noble birth was abandoned during war and adopted by a maid, Gursha, who treated him like her own. In order to protect the child, Gursha sacrificed herself and unwillingly married a man who lied about his state of health to avoid being drafted. The child’s birth mother, Natella, returned after the war to reclaim custody of the child, the only heir to a large fortune, and the struggle for justice between the two women began. The narrator’s story ended with the Judge, Azdak, granting custody to Gursha because of her love for the child and ‘accidentally’ authorising her divorce, allowing her to be with her lover, whom she was separated from during the war.…

    Five years later, life in Umuaro has somehow returned to normal. Christian missionaries have made major inroads into society, establishing converts and trying to show that the old gods are ineffective. Ezeulu is sending his son Oduche to church, to be his eyes and ears, and to learn the ways of the white man. Animosity between Ezeulu and Nwaka and their respective villages has grown to the point called “kill and take the head”. In other words, things have gotten to the point where men in the two villages try to kill each other using poison. Nwaka is fortified and strengthened by his relationship with Ezidemili the high priest of the god Idemili. Though Idemili is a lesser god in comparison to Ulu, the competition between the two priests is dividing Umuaro.…
