This week for the SLJ I finished the second activity for day four week two. The activity was to read about these groups: Ainu People, Australian Aboriginal People, The Inuit People, Papuan People and The Maya People. After we read through those groups we had to pick the two groups we found most interesting in our opinion. I picked the Inuit People, and the Australian Aboriginal People. When we did that we had to list two different facts about the two groups.
Inuit People:
Fact 1: Today Inuit occupy many professions in arts, medical field, government and academia.
Fact 2: More than 3,000 Inuit live in Ottawa alone.
Aboriginal Australians:
Fact 1: Stan Grant is a Wiradjuri elder of Australia's second-largest Aboriginal community. He still speaks the tribal language that nearly died in the 20th century when you could be arrested for it.
Fact 2: Barkindiji kids jump on a trampoline when storm clouds appear over them.
Hello Farzana!,
ReplyDeleteReading your facts about these indigenous communities were very interesting and enjoyable. One of your most interesting facts about these groups is how there are more than 3,000 Inuit who live in Ottawa. Out of the Aboriginal Australians and Inuit people, which group did you find more interesting?
Well Done!
Salam Farzana! These are some really great facts about the two indigenous communities you chose. Most interesting to me was fact 2 about Aboriginal Australians, where Barkindiji kids jump on a trampoline when storm cloud appear over them...do you know why they do that? Good job!
ReplyDeleteKia ora Farzana! Olive here from the Summer Learning Journey. How are you doing today?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your blog post! I really enjoyed reading about the Inuit and the Aboriginal people. Did you know that Aboriginal people share their history through art? They have beautiful dot-styles that they use to communicate ancestral stories and their traditional heritage. It's honestly stunning work. Ka pai on all your effort, it's clear you've put a lot of thought and research into this.
Remember the end of the Summer Learning Journey is next Friday 24th January! Keep up the blogging, commenting and enthusiasm!
Ngā mihi,
Olive

Hi Farzana,
ReplyDeleteI liked how you provided some interesting facts about the Inuit and Aboriginal people. I didn't know that there are 3,000 Inuit living in Ottawa, and that the aboriginal language almost died out. Would you want to learn one of their languages?
