Since we don't actually know how Indian tribes, over 500 to 600 of them, got to California there have been three theories made. The most well- known, the Bering Strait theory, informed us that the tribes might have descended from northern Asia and migrated, crossing over a land bridge, from Siberia to Alaska. Another theory is the Multiple Migration theory, which told us that the Indians migrated from many places in different ways to arrive in California. In addition to these two theories there is the Indigenous Origin theory, which apprised us that the Indians had been to California since the first day of light when sky people fell to earth, as their ancestors came from a world below through a vertical tunnel. One of these tribes, the Yana tribe, was an independent tribe who had settled in Northern California between the Feather and Pit rivers.…

The Mabinogion, a complex collection of works of great significance to the Welsh culture: a compilation of texts that cannot be taken literally where each line has some metaphorical and/or cultural significance. This paper will mainly be focusing on the four branches (The Mabinogi), trying to explore the connections between these four relatively independent works that are grouped together to form the Mabinogi. At first glance, there seems to be no connection between the texts except for one thing, which is the character of Pryderi who appears in all four texts. There are two ways to understand Pryderi’s role in the Mabinogi, the first is that he is just a minor character who was put in so that a connection can be made between the four texts,…
, including Truganini, were moved to a settlement at Oyster Cove, south of Hobart.[8] According to The Times newspaper, quoting a report issued by the Colonial Office, by 1861 the number of survivors at Oyster Cove was only fourteen: "...14 persons, all adults, aboriginals of Tasmania, who are the sole surviving remnant of ten tribes. Nine of these persons are women and five are men. There are among them four married couples, and four of the men and five of the women are under 45 years of age, but no children have been born to them for years. It is considered difficult to account for this... Besides these 14 persons there is a native woman who is married to a white man, and who has a son, a fine healthy-looking child..." The article, headed ‘Decay of Race’, adds that although the survivors enjoyed generally good…

Changes and continuities of religious practices and customs of India and the Indus River Valley are very prevalent. As the Indus River Valley transitioned into India, changes in religious customs began to occur. One of these changes was in the social hierarchy. Stricter caste systems began to appear.
