Aboriginal Bush Law - 2 of 2 - My Country Australia - BBC Culture Documentary, recorded 10.04.2010 & The Forgotten Generation - BBC News America.. Is Bush Law the answer? "Despite the countless government initiatives and billions of dollars invested in attempting to reduce it, crime in the Northern Territory Aboriginal population is at an all-time high. This is because there are two legal systems. One of them is 40000 years old. The other is 200 years old and has been imposed without consultation or respect. Whilst only mainstream Australian law is legally recognised, the simple truth is that Aboriginal people living in remote Australia pay more attention to Aboriginal law.'' : Film-maker and lawyer Danielle Loy talks to Dave Richards from Alice Online about her film Bush Law."

www.youtube.com Aztec is a term used to refer to certain ethnic groups of central Mexico, particularly those groups who spoke the Nahuatl language and who achieved political and military dominance over large parts of Mesoamerica in the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries, a period referred to as the Late post-Classic period in Mesoamerican chronology. Often the term "Aztec" refers exclusively to the people of Tenochtitlan, situated on an island in Lake Texcoco, who called themselves Mexica Tenochca or Colhua-Mexica. Sometimes it also includes the inhabitants of Tenochtitlan's two principal allied city-states, the Acolhuas of Texcoco and the Tepanecs of Tlacopan, who together with the Mexica formed the Aztec Triple Alliance which has also become known as the "Aztec Empire". In other contexts it may refer to all the various city states and their peoples, who shared large parts of their ethnic history as well as many important cultural traits with the Mexica, Acolhua and Tepanecs, and who like them, also spoke the Nahuatl language. In this meaning it is possible to talk about an Aztec civilization including all the particular cultural patterns common for the Nahuatl speaking peoples of the late postclassic period in Mesoamerica. From the 12th century Valley of Mexico was the nucleus of Aztec civilization: here the capital of the Aztec Triple Alliance, the city of Tenochtitlan, was built upon raised islets in Lake Texcoco. The Triple Alliance formed its tributary empire expanding .... + Informações

Graham Greene provides a humorous commentary on the type of stereotypes that still abound regarding American Indians In response to some of the negativity that has popped up in the comments section: I typically try to leave my editing hand out of the comments sections for the videos I post. Occasionally I will respond to a question or a comment but, even if I disagree with a message someone has left, I generally try to leave everything up. It's part of my belief that open communication is one of the best ways of addressing and working through problems in our society. That being said...I've noticed, of late, even more hostility being aimed at the posters of comments. Names and allegations are being slung back and forth, specifically in reference to certain individuals' "right" to consider themselves Native. I want to be clear that I do not buy into the belief that an individual's blood quantum is all that makes that person Native. Historically, as long as the tribe accepted you as one of them you were considered part of that tribe. This went on to include other Natives who married into other tribes, as well as white settlers who came to live with the People. Only with the legislations and regulations set forth by the government about who can be considered "indigenous" has the subject of blood quantum come into play. I, for one, do not subscribe to the way of thinking that a person's percentage of blood defines who they are. I have known many people who are enrolled as full .... + Informações

My American husband certainly is not alone as a foreigner with a keen interest in the Ifugao and our rice terraces. My people have been the subject of articles that date back to the early days of National Geographic magazine. Dean C. Worcester, then the secretary of the interior of the Philippine Islands, featured the Ifugao in a special September 1912 issue of the publication devoted entirely to the headhunters of northern Luzon. In that issue, he considered the Ifugao to be barbarians who were nonetheless excellent hydraulic engineers, as demonstrated by their marvelous rice terraces. Nine decades later, foreigners are still fascinated with headhunting. The practice was abandoned long ago by the Ifugao, but we still have not escaped that moniker. In the 2000 book The Last Filipino Head Hunters by David Howard, we are described, along with our sister tribes the Bontoc and Kalinga, as having among our elders the last living headhunters in the Philippines. I seriously doubt that anyone now alive has ever been a headhunter. Throughout the 1990s and into the 21st century, there has been continued interest in the direction and pending disappearance of our 2000-year-old rice .... + Informações

Mark Steyn provides a reality-check for the European continent. Islam is rapidly replacing the native culture at a frightening rate. France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Italy etc have engaged in unplanned migration of millions of Muslims over the past 20 years. With the ongoing and extremely rapid global demographic decline of wealthy European nations (who simply refuse to have large families), and the exploding Muslim immigrant populations in their midst, the issue of Islam can no longer be ignored. Waking up in an Islamic culture in the near future is a very real threat facing the European people. Mark Steyn explains why -- with undeniable clarity.. + Informações
