How are local cultures sustained?
assimilation policies where used to assimilate indigenous peoples into the dominant culture.
Canada, Australia, and Russia adopted this from America.
Canada also placed indigenous children in residential schools and separated children from families.
In Australia they took aboriginal children from their homes and placed them in residential schools from 1800s to the late 1960s.
The government of Australia (Aboriginals) and Canada (First nations and Inuit) officially apologized to their aboriginal populations in 2008
local cultures are sustained through customs.
a custom is a practice that a group of people routinely follow.
One of local cultures goals is keeping their own culture in.
local cultures have a goal of keeping other cultures out out
places are so important to cultures because they reinforce the culture and their beliefs.
it is easier for local cultures in rural areas because they have an easier time maintaining their culture because of their isolation.
the greatest challenge of local cultures in urban areas is the migration of members of the popular culture or of another culture into their neighborhood.
ethnic neighborhoods are a world apart or a place for people to practice their customs, within a major city.
For example, Hasidic Jew is Brooklyn, New York and Italian Americans in Boston, Massachusetts
cultural appropriation is the process by which other cultures adopt customs and knowledge and use them for their own benefit.
commodification the process through which something that was not originally intended to be bought or sold becomes and object that can be bought, sold, or traded in the world market. ex. Obama's half eaten waffle, Madonna's gum
Cultural authenticity is to experience the complexity of a place directly rather than experiencing the stereotype of a place.
Anabaptists for example are the Hutterites, the Amish, and the Mennonites
these groups protect their culture by living together in a rural area.
Hutterites differ from other groups because they are the only group to live communally. Instead of living with immediate family on a farmstead, they live in groups of 100 or so.
Hutterites live in mostly Minnesota, South Dakota, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, Montana, and Alberta.
when a local culture discontinues its major economic activity, it faces the challenges of maintaining the customs that depended on the economic activity and, in turn, sustaining its culture.
when a local culture decides to reengage in a traditional economic activity it can no longer decide in isolation.
little Sweden is an example of neolocalism because they sought out their regional culture.
When the Makah's decided to reinstate their whale hunt it affected the way they could hunt and turned into a global issue.
