Quiz No. 10 (Asian Tribes)

Read the following Paragraphs and answer the following Questions Teamwise

Kazakh, Mongolia
Roaming the wind-swept valleys and endless plains of Mongolia are the Kazakh people, a tribe descended from Turkic ancestors who lived between Serbia and the Black Sea. Life is simple on the Mongolian steppes and, apart from Soviet collectivism in the 1950s, it hasn’t changed much for these semi-nomadic people in hundreds of years. Families herd their sheep and goats across the tundra, moving with the seasons to where the grazing is freshest. There are only about 100,000 Kazakhs left in Mongolia.

Huli, Papua New Guinea
The Huli have lived in Papua New Guinea’s remote Tari Basin for almost 1000 years, but weren’t even discovered by Europeans until 1935. Impenetrable coastal swamps and rugged jungle-covered mountains kept the tribe out of reach until explorers Jack Hides and James O’Malley stumbled upon Tari Basin. To their surprise, they didn’t find an untamed wilderness but a vast valley filled with well-ordered gardens and irrigations ditches. The Huli are the perfect example of a people who learned to live in harmony with their surrounds, taking and giving in equal measure. Today there are about 150,000 Huli in Papua New Guinea.

Ladakhi, India
Ladakh means ‘Land of high passes’. It’s a small region in northern India, home to winding rocky canyons, jagged snow-capped peaks, stark alpine beauty and the Ladakhi people. Since the Himalayan farming season is short, the Ladakhi only work for four months of the year, saving their harvest to get through the wild winter months. There’s a Ladakhi saying that, because the land is so harsh and the passes so numerous ‘only the best of friends or the worst of enemies would visit you’ here.

Bunlap, Vanuatu Islands
Historians think settlement of Vanuatu’s 85 islands occurred some time around 500BC, probably my migrants navigating the Pacific waters from Indonesia. Since then, the island chain has developed its own distinct variety of cultures and tribes, including the Bunlap. The Bunlap people live in the southeast of Pentecost Island and tourism to the area has opened up in recent years. You may know them from their practice of gol – an ancient form of bungee jumping off a bamboo scaffold, secured only by a vine tied around their ankles.
