Social Studies Reflection

Presentation Summary

In our presentation we covered numerous different aspects of a native tribe that originates from an rain forest. A few of the aspects that we covered is how long have they lived in the rain forest, what cultural practices do they have, what games do they play and how does their culture relate to my culture. We also researched how the the Baka Pygmies are significant to the rain forest. The Baka Pygmies are significant to the rain forest because they keep the methods and culture of the rain forest and the people alive. Another significance is the relation they hold to other cultures and the similarities and challenges they have gone through or are still going through that many other indigenous tribes have as well. We also had to reverse the question and see how the rain forest is significant to the Baka Pygmies. Reasons that the rain forest is significant is because of the economic, cultural, geographic and finally historical significance's. The economic significance that the rain forest has is to multinational companies that can profit from mining or logging the rain forest. The Cultural significance of the rain forest is to the people that live of of the rain forest and how they develop their way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation. Creating the presentation wasn't extremely hard due the decent amount of information that we found about the Baka Pygmies and also because of how my team divided the questions amongst each other.
