The island also never really had any native people. The Antiguans are just descendants from the slaves brought in by the Europeans. Because Antigua wasn’t native to anyone, the ones that called themselves “Antiguans” spoke broken English; there was no native language. Antigua has not changed from how it was then to how it is now, “[It has] no industrial revolution, no revolution of any kind, no Age of Anything, no world wars, no decades of turbulence balanced by decades of calm; nothing then, natural or unnatural, to leave a mark on their character” (150). There is no real history behind Antigua and this makes it sort of an outcast when compared to other countries with historical backgrounds and origins.
At the beginning, their focus was raising sheep and goats; they later incorporated horses that were used to direct their flock to new grazing areas. The horses where also used to help them hunt for food and a means of commerce. Their agriculture consisted of harvesting beans, squash, corn, and tobacco. As time passed, they instill the weaving, jewelry, and their means of self-sufficiency. Due to their mode of subsistence, the Navajos lived within small groups.
Found Only in Hawaii lays the beautiful Hawaiian Monk Seal. These adorable creatures can be found in their own little groups under piers and wharfs. The seals stay in their own families and raise their own pups. There are no fostering of other pups going on which can cause them to die, loosing population. According to resources.metapress.com, it is very rare to see any adopting families.
Sparta conquered other neighboring regions. The people living in it's neighboring regions became Sparta's slaves. They were called helots. The helots were allowed to live where they originally belonged but they had to give a majority of the food that they produced to Sparta. Sparta's non-citizens were called perioikoi.

There is no denying that these people used ships to sail between the various island chains of Hawaii and Tahiti. It is not fully known if they were able to explore past these chains. However, is there new evidence that may suggest that the Polynesians had sailed as far as South America, and before the Spanish set foot ashore. Background Info Captain James Cook anchored off the east coast of Poverty Bay in October of 1769 (Flude, 2001).
Although, the horticulture society sometimes collects wild foods and hunt as they cultivate, a large portion of sustenance depends on domestication of plants (Nowak & Laird, 2010). Marriage among the Btsisi is arranged by the elders of the community. Marriage helps form alliances and resource able relationships outside the community as well as inside. The Btsisi society is made up of bands and each band consist of a nuclear family and extended family. The father, mother and children make up the nuclear family and grandparents, aunts, uncles, and others make up the extended family.
The family structure of the San people is one of kinship in which could include many family member such as uncles, aunts, cousins, brothers, sisters, maternal, paternal grandparent and their parents. It is a band of families that work together as a group to provide food for all family members if another person killed a big animal they will share it with another family who wasn’t as fortunate in hunting that day this is their way of life. The San, who live in one of the most marginal environments in the world, search for food only two or three days a week. Women can collect enough food in one day to feed their families for a full week, while men hunt two or three days a week. The rest of the time is spent in leisurely pursuits: visiting, playing, sleeping, and just enjoying each other's company (Lee, 1979).
The Tiwi, who lived on the two islands in the Arafura Sea off the coast of the North Territory, were completely isolated from the mainland of Australia for 6,000 years until the eighteenth century. Until that time, there was not any documented history of interaction with the outside world. In his efforts to promote cultural transmission, Hart completed a widespread census of the Tiwi population in 1929; the fieldwork was based on his contact with the majority of the civilization and detailed genealogical records covering the population. II. Ecology As a hunter-gatherer group, the Tiwi had an abundant subsistence economy of hunting, fishing, and foraging in the bush, sea, and along the coast.
Some of Juan’s duties would be feeding the horses, lawn upkeep, and harvesting crops at my father’s Texas farm. I remember, as a child, during the summers, I would spend copious amounts of time around Juan where I would pick up on his Spanish phrases and mannerisms. Juan often told me of stories of how he would trap rats and rabbits that would be scavenging for food in our barn, and then eat them for supper. My view of Juan changed immensely as I got older. I learned of his immigration story and would pick up on his culture from bits of photography taped to his refrigerator, and other somewhat decorative trinkets that he kept around in his broken-down trailer he called home.
Europeans in the Pacific Australia and the Larger World -European geographers had speculated about terra australis inncognita “unknown southern land” since the second century C.E. -European principal interest was trade and they rarely sailed out of their way in search of unknown land. Dutch Exploration -Dutch mariner Jan Carstenzs reported that Australia was n arid and barren region that contained nothing that man could make use of (no mountains, metals, woods, plants). --Europeans visitors did not linger long enough to become familiar with native Australian peoples because they were nomadic foragers and were considered savages. British Colonists -Cook reported that the Australian region was suitable for settlement after visiting Botany
