Essay about NewZealand and Australia

In my essay I will describe the most characteristic features of the Maori people and the aborigines. I will divide the essay in 3 parts ­ the Maori people, the aborigines and their comparison. Maori are the host people of New Zealand. Their name is derived from Ma-Uri which means the children of heaven. The arrival of the Maori people to New Zealand is considered to be somewhat of a mystery. It is known that first Polynesians arrived to New Zealand about 1000 years ago, when navigator Kupe discovered the land in 950 AD. He named it Aotearoa ­ The Land of the Long White Cloud. Although these facts can be debatable, I will focus my attention on this interpretation of Maori history. After the Maori arrived to New Zealand, they started to develop into tribes and sub tribes, this tribal system is still in use. Their culture had almost no influence from the rest of the world. They evolved a culture endorsed by agriculture and hunting. Of course the Maori were warriors as well. They had int

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján

Francisco Vázquez de Coronado y Luján (1510 ­ 22 September 1554) Coronado sündis Salamanca linnas rikka kaupmehe perre. Kuna ta oli peres teine poeg, siis ei saanud ta perekonna vara pärijaks olla. Seepärast läks ta Püha-Rooma keisri Charles V (Hispaania Charles I) alluva Mehhiko asevalitseja Antonio de Mendoza alluvusse tööle. Pärast Mehhikosse jõudmist 1535. aastal ta kiirelt tõusis asevalitseja soosingusse. 1537. aastal ta abiellus Doa Beatriz de Estrada'ga, kes oli Uus Hispaania endise rahandusbossi tütar. 1538. aastal Mendoza määras noore Coronado põhjapoolse Nueva Galicia provintsi kuberneriks. Kuulsa ja katastroofilise Narvaezi ekspeditsiooni üks viiest ellujääjast, Alvar Nuez Cabeza de Vaca, ühel hetkel jõudis asevalitseja õukonda juttudega, et ta oli kuulnud seitsmest imelisest linast Cibola piirkonnas kaugel põhjas. Mendoza, kes ärevalt tahtis leida ja vallutada selle väidetavalt kuldse maa, seejärel saatis kirikuisa Marcos de Niza (Marcos Hea ?

The Crow Tribe

The Crow, also called the Absaroka or Apsáalooke, are a Siouan-language tribe of Native Americans who historically lived in the Yellowstone River valley. They now live on a reservation south of Billings, Montana. Tribal headquarters are located at Crow Agency, Montana. The name of the tribe, Apsáalooke was translated into French by interpreters as gens du corbeaux (people of [the] crows). It means "children of the large-beaked bird," a name given by their neighboring tribe, the Hidatsa. The bird, perhaps now extinct, was defined as a fork- tailed bird resembling the blue jay or magpie. In 1743 near present-day Hardin, Montana, the Absaroka first encountered people of European descent - the two La Vérendryes brothers from French Canada. The explorers called the Apsáalooke beaux hommes (handsome men). The Crow called the French Canadians baashchíile (persons with yellow eyes). The Crow Indian Reservation in south-central Montana is a large reservation covering approximately 2,300,00

FAMILY tööleht

THE FAMILY Marriage changes over the centuries constantly, surprisingly and swiftly. It cannot be defined as a sacred union between a man and a woman, as marriages have not always been considered sacred. Marriage has often been seen as a union between one man and several women. And sometimes marriage has been seen as a union between one woman and several men, as in southern India, for example, one bride may be shared by several brothers. Marriage has also, at times, been recognized as a union between two men (as in ancient Rome, where marriages between aristocratic males were recognized by law), or as a union between two siblings (as in medieval Europe, when valuable property was at stake); or as a union between two children (again in Europe, when parents wanted to protect their property); or as a union between two unborn (ditto); or as a union between two people of the same social class (once more in Europe, where medieval peasan
