Indigenous People Are Feeling the Burn of Climate Change

The indigenous people of Australia are going to be some of the first peoples to feel the burn of climate change, a recent study shows. However, some aid could be provided in sustainable housing and housing management. This aid is not being accepted in any form as governments are creating excuses surrounding expense, ignoring the fact that in the long run, this would actually save money. The issue of indigenous housing and land has been ignored and pushed away throughout recent history and contributes to the long-standing neglect of indigenous people by governments. This is likely due to the history of indigenous people, the loss of their land, and the lack of respect for their people and nations. It has been written time and again throughout history, the story of governments claiming native lands. In most - if not all- cases, there is no real reason for their land to be claimed other than the government wanted it to grow their territory. The dismissal of native communities as valid nations and self-governing people has long been dismissed, their cultures erased, and their people impoverished. In this case, the government’s role is one of absence as they fail to provide basic resources and rights to the people who occupied “their” land long before they settled there. This housing plan has proven in study after study to be a benefit to both the indigenous people and the government, so what’s the issue? Is it money or the refusal to admit to mistakes and mistreatment?

Cultural Anthropology blog

   Nate Savarese Mr. Roddy IHSS 31 August 2021 Cultural Anthropology Blog      I read cultural anthropology blog Vol. 36 No. 2 (2021). T his blog covers many different topics. One of these topics is about things such as rural places in the world that use the labor of inmates to produce value in their economy. An example of this is rural places in new jersey where the inequalities of the inmates challenge the work that they must do to make a living. This article also has an example of when people studied ethnography in Japan. In Japan there are Buddhists that sell pet robots such as robot dogs, to people to re-define the boundaries between  life, death, amusement, and play. I have been wondering if society would accept robot dogs or cats as replacements for real ones. I think that this would offer the trade between personality and functionality. In Bolivia Juliane muller offers the thought of large corporate companies attempting to bestow a ne...

What Did Medieval Peasants Know?

  Jayla Balderas  Mr. Roddy  IHSS  16 May 2022                                                   What Did Medieval Peasants Know? A comment often thrown around is how much easier life was in medieval times. What sparked this specific article was a tweet made by a woman named Azie Dungey she said, “We give a lot more labor to increase someone else’s wealth than in times past. We generally work much longer hours. We have far fewer holidays and times of community festivity,” (Dungey).  This sparked a controversy, and brought up the question, what were things really like during the medieval times? It was stated everyone has a different variety of what they believed this era looked like in their head because it's ...
