The Luba or Baluba African tribe settled throughout the Democratic Republic of the Congo. They were the largest ethnic group in that area with around thirteen million people. In this tribe, they used Christianity and African Traditional Religion as their religion base. The Luba tribe was one of the groups of the Bantu peoples.
To start off, the Bantu people were just a group of roughly 300-600 ethnic African tribes that spoke Bantu languages. The word “Bantu” means, “people” if you were wondering. These groups lie from south Central Africa, across the African Great Lakes region, and down to Southern Africa. The tribes in this group all speak one of the 650 languages there are in the Bantu group.

The mosh is an awesome place in Downtown Jacksonville; where everyone can learn some interesting facts about our city, how the body works , what animals are in the ocean and etc. I visited the Timucua Indian exhibit; I learned a lot of intriguing information that I didn’t know before.

Kwakiutl religious tradition is still used as a guide, which is apparent in present day life of the Kwakiutl people, still helping to make up the meaning of the Transformation mask. This tribes rich history tells of the belief that the only difference between birds, fish, animals and humans was the skin that covered the body. It was believed that they could transform at will and that animals could become humans and humans could transform into animals. The Kwakiutl masks are intricately created and well planned before the weaving and the carving begins. The masks are made from red cedar which is a soft wood and has a clear and even grain. The Kwakiutl artists used natural pigments to create the colors used on the masks and used this form of medium until the development of manufactured colored acrylic paint. Masks were used for virtually every occasion and therefore each mask was uniquely created to the theme of a specific ceremony. Ceremonies were not only a time to gather for fellowship, but also was a time...
Starting with the Sac (Sauk) tribe, this tribe was once known as the Sauk and Meskwaki tribe. The name Sac came from the Native name “Asakiwaki” which means “yellow earth people. These two tribes were very close in relation and spoke the same language, but they were still very independent. The Fox tribe was demolished in a war with the French; not all of the Fox Indians were killed, but most were. The remainder of the Indians stormed to the Sauk village where they came to seek protection. After that war those Indians decided to come together with the Sac tribe and begin the Sac and Fox tribe. These tribes villages consisted of dome ...
A long time ago, The Shasta tribe lived out in the grassy fields of Alaska. Everyday, they would go to get food and water from the river miles away. Moki was in a family of six, mother and father, two sisters and one brother. He never listened to his parents and would always argue. The Shasta tribe had rituals and ceremonies everyday, but Moki would refuse to go, disobeying his family and tribe. No matter how many times they tried to tell Moki that he must respect the people or he will get kicked out when he's older, he still wouldn't listen and continued to do bad. When someone was in danger, he would never help and never bothered to go up and ask if they were okay. Everyone in the tribe, except his family, despised of Moki, but since he was
The Indians were the first inhabitants of the Great lakes region. They were there tens for tens of thousands of years before the first settlers from Europe came. The European settlers were very curious about the Indians. The Indians lived a very different life than the Europeans. The Indians lived off the land. They farmed, hunted for food, gathered berries, and gathered water from the nearby stream. The Great Lake Tribes are not only in the United States but some are located in Canada. The Great Lake Tribes were located in Ohio, New York, Michigan, Indiana, Illinois, and Wisconsin. Most Indian tribes settled by some sort of water. Rivers, lakes, and streams. That is why a lot of Indian tribes settled near the Great

Probably not people at all. Probably some kind of monkey. They eat each other and worship bundles of sticks and mud. You can never remember the names of their countries, which have a new Main Nigger every half hour and too many snakes and bugs anyway. They eat those, too. They put bones in their noses and wear plants for clothes.

The history of Samburu is related to Kenya’s other Nilotic tribes that built settlements near the Nile River. The Samburu are known to have originated from Sudan, living at the north of Mount Kenya and south of Lake Turkana at the Rift Valley area. Once they had arrived in Kenya in the 15th century, they parted ways with the Maasai of East Africa, who moved to the south while the Samburu moved north. British colonial rule in that area did not affect the Samburu as the British did not find the land of the Samburu particularly attractive.
