Activity 2: CELEBRATING DIVERSITY
There are between 370 and 500 million Indigenous Peoples currently living in 90 countries around the world. Together, they represent over 5000 different cultures and speak 4000 different languages. That is pretty amazing. 'eh?! I wish that I could speak 4000 languages!
Indigenous People is the term used to describe the people who were the first inhabitants of a land. In Aotearoa, Māori is Indigenous. Indigenous people have rich and vibrant cultures that make the world such a fascinating, varied and enriching place to live.
For this activity, we are learning to become more familiar with some amazing indigenous communities.
Ainu People
Australian Aboriginal People
The Inuit People
Papuan People
The Maya People
After we have finished learning about these groups we had to choose two that interest us the most. With that, we had to also tell 2 interesting facts about each group. (4 facts in total)
Hi Lyan,
ReplyDeleteGreat presentation! Your work is really easy to read and I can see all four facts written for us readers to see! Lovely work. I had no idea that the Papuan people had 800 languages! wow that is incredible. How many languages do you speak? I just speak English but want to learn Chinese :)
Keep up the great work!
