Transcript

Can Jared Diamond's theories explain how a continent so rich in natural resources, could have ended up the poorest continent on earth?
Guns Germs and Steel triumph again...?
Jared observes that the story of Guns, Germs and Steel seems to be unfolding all over again.
But having swept aside native opposition beyond the cape, Jared asks, could the settlers build a new life of their own?
Enter the Tropics
Reconstruction: A European settler suffers from malaria in colonial Africa
As the settlers traveled further north, life suddenly became a lot harder. The foundations of their success, their crops and animals, refused to grow. They were forced to barter for food from their neighbours. And they started to fall ill with a mysterious and terrifying fever. It was a complete reversal of the usual pattern of European conquest.
So what had changed?

AMAZULU: The Life of the Zulu Nation
by Genevieve Wilcox Visit the Social Studies Article Archive for more social studies-related content. "The aim of our Web site is to provide information about the Zulu tribe of South Africa to the general public in an interesting and entertaining way. We decided on the Zulu tribe as the topic for our Web site, as there are not many electronic resources on this topic (only one was located on our searches on the Internet) and because we realize that the different cultures that make up our Rainbow Nation are a valuable part of our heritage." This quotation comes from three senior high school students at St. Mary's School, Waverley, Johannesburg, South Africa. As a group project in their Computer Studies course, they developed a Web site for the ThinkQuest competition. Each Computer Studies teacher may choose the form of the group project, provided that it makes extensive use of computer applications, and lends itself to group work. The Thinkquest competition suited the criteria perfectly. The class consisted of fifteen students, so they were divided up into five groups of three. They then researched everything they could find about ThinkQuest, studied the rules, and appointed Group Leaders and Coaches. The groups then brainstormed ideas on which to create Web sites, and when they had made decisions, each group put forward a proposal for their ideas. Once accepted, the proposal was sent to Thinkquest, together with all their other details.

Indigenous peoples
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.
Indigenous peoples are a subjective controversy according their nature of label.

Indigenous peoples are sometimes referred to as aborigines native peoples first peoples first nations or as autochthonous , a Greek term that means "sprung from the earth". Indigenous peoples are represented in the United Nations by an Indigenous Working Group. In late December 2004, the United Nations' General Assembly proclaimed a Second International Decade of the World's Indigenous People. The main goal of the new decade will be to strengthen international cooperation around resolving the problems faced by indigenous people in areas such as culture, education, health, human rights, the environment, and social and economic development.

Zulu Ankle Rattles
Historically and prehistorically, humans have processed and refashioned many natural materials or objects to make containers, the most familiar examples being baskets and pottery. Rattles have been made from gourds (Lagenaria, Cucurbitaceae), turtle shells, animal hides, and several other natural objects filled with stones or seeds. Although moth cocoons have been mainly exploited for their silk to produce fabrics, they also have been used whole in the construction of a variety of artifacts. Some moth cocoons are very tough and, if kept dry, are preserved for long periods of time. To people without access to synthetic manufactured products, some kinds of cocoons make compact and strong containers, ready to be used in a variety of ways. Cocoons of several species of saturniid moths and other families have been used to make hand rattles, ankle rattles, necklaces, purses or other artifacts in cultures around the world. Although Native American usage from the western United States is now historic, indigenous peoples in Africa and Mexico continue to use moth cocoons. Historic hand rattles from California utilized cocoons of

- they were hunters and food-gatherers.
-they employed stone age technology, but they had very extensive and sophisticated knowledge of plants and animals in their environment.
- they were the cave painters in South Africa; they used similar themes and materials as were used by cave painters in the Sahara dating back about 30,000 years.
Khoikhoi (Hottentots)
- the Khoikhoi were pastoralists (cattle-keepers);
- they had some metals (copper and alloys); they may have acquired these in trade (some evidence of dispersion of metals from central Africa), but there are also evidences of smelting in number of areas of the north-western Cape and Namibia.
- pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited.
- the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

Most fall into two major ethnic groups: the Nguni, which consist of Zulu, Xhosa, Ndebele and Swazi peoples, and the Sotho, which includes the Northern Sotho, Southern Sotho or Basotho and Venda peoples. Blacks often speak several languages, including that of their own ethnic group and English. Many Blacks reside in cities and townships living a more modern western lifestyle, while rural dwellers often wear unique costumes and maintain their ancestors traditions and customs. In addition ceremonies play a very important part in the lives of Black South Africans. The European influence of South Africa is primarily rooted in the Afrikaners, who were descendants of Dutch settlers. They developed their own language 'Afrikaans' which is based on Dutch, but also has Malay, French, German and Black influences. About 6 million people, or roughly 15% of South Africa's population are of European descent. The British and Germans also played an important part in the country's development. The Coloureds, a mixed-race people, are descendants of Europeans, Blacks and former slaves from Dutch colonies in Africa and Indonesia. Indians came to South Africa initially as indentured servants and today make up the largest community of Indians outside of India.

Along the subtropical coast, paths lead from beach to beach, to favourite fishing spots, to the many Indian Ocean resorts that entice a yearly migration of visitors. These paths are often graced with hibiscus in vivid flower, with ilala palms and wild bananas, with coastal succulent scrub and the sight of mangroves that emerge from an occasional swamp. Moreover day walks have been laid out by municipal authorities, such as Durban, through parks, conservation areas and green belts. More agriculturally inclined, the rugged North Coast's sugar-cane fields often reach right down to the shoreline. Lake St Lucia, part of the

by Edmore Mufema Spirituality, land and land reform in South Africa ... Rev. Rupert Hambira In 1996, Indigenous People met during the Conference on World Mission and Evangelism held in Salvador Bahia Brazil. One year later, the World Council of Churches’ Indigenous Peoples’ Programme (WCC/IPP) in cooperation with the Botswana Christian Council also held a workshop under the theme "Spirituality, Land and the Role of the Churches in the Struggle for the Indigenous Peoples’ Rights" in Gabarone. From that meeting came a call to continue building spiritual,cultural and political identities within the churches in the countries where Indigenous Peoples are located. The areas of critical concern identified were land, protection of rights under international law, preservation/promotion of culture, decision making processes, advocacy, spirituality and networking. In February 1998, some Indigenous Peoples participants who had been at the Gabarone workshop and other representatives from Africa, attended a consultation on "Land and Spirituality" in Karasjok, Norway. Here the world-wide Indigenous Peoples community exchanged ways in which their spiritualities and lands were threatened. From this sharing, ideas of cooperation and responsibilities were discussed. The Indigenous meeting and the statement of Karasjok became a strong challenge to convene in Harare to identify the critical issues affecting African Indigenous Peoples in general. Before the WCC’s eighth Assembly in Harare, "Land and Spirituality: The African Context" was the theme chosen for the workshop the same theme used in Karasjok, Norway. It showed the connectedness between the spiritualities of the Indigenous Peoples and the land on which they originated.

The new branding of the Zulu Kingdom - a bold step forward for tourism in KZN.
zoom
Trailblazing the way forward' has fast become the motto for the Tourism KwaZulu-Natal office. The first province in South Africa to create a specific brand for its eight destinations, known as 'The Kingdom of the Zulu', has now successfully launched its follow-up campaign, based on the much-lauded previous one.
Having established a firm link between 'The Kingdom of the Zulu' and Provincial KwaZulu-Natal, the region's corporate identity has recently undergone a radical change. This refreshingly different approach in marketing the Province promises a distinguishable, memorable and unique symbol that identifies with key elements strategically removed from the first logo, thereby assisting in the smooth transition from old into new.
The previous logo incorporated an illustrative approach to solve the design problem, utilising the image of u-Shaka, the Zulu patriarch, as a focus, wielding an assegai and a full-body shield in a posture befitting a proud and dignified king.

The warm earth tones used in the new corporate logo identifies with the natural surroundings of the region, subtly echoing the warm personality of the Zulu people. These colours are also found in Zulu artwork that is rendered in certain clays,which are used for pottery and craftwork.
