Extractions: Publication Date: Friday, June 13, 2003 Marigold offers a variety of unusual Indian dishes By Anthony Silk Silicon Valley's demise has sent laid off techies looking for work in other, often radically different, industries. I thought I was unique when I went from software project manager to food editor until I met Satish Sandadi, the owner of Marigold, the newest Indian restaurant to grace University Avenue in downtown Palo Alto. Sandadi came to the United States from India seven years ago, enticed by the prospect of exciting and challenging work in the emerging high-tech market. Aside from computer skills, he also brought with him a passion for food. As he enjoyed the demands of the silicon sector, his desire to work in the food business grew. Two months ago, he fulfilled this second dream by opening Marigold. Sandadi had no formal restaurant training, but he was able to sponsor a chef from India to do the cooking. "It allows us to present a mixed culture," Sandadi said. "My chef understands Indian cuisine and I can blend that with American tastes."
Special Feature that the small islands of Okinawa have mixed together a cultural attributes to formthe vibrant culture seen today dishes that use pork and plenty of cooking oil http://web-japan.org/nipponia/nipponia12/sp01.html
Extractions: To understand Okinawan culture, just think of a popular dish called chanpuru (a hodge-podge of stir-fried ingredients). In this issue we look at Okinawan traditions and culture shaped during times of close ties with Asia, and at the current Okinawa, which experienced war and then administration by the United States. The film industry has chosen Okinawa as a location for many movies over the last few years. Each movie is different, whether it be the film version of an Akutagawa Prize-winning novel about healing techniques unique to Okinawan folk culture, a semi-documentary about a politician who steadfastly opposed the U.S. military's Civil Administration in Okinawa during the 1960s, an artistic road movie about a wanderer's rambles through Okinawa and Taiwan, or a film about the love felt by an island woman over a period of 60 years. Amid all this variety, Okinawan culture always forms the backdrop. There is no other place in Japan outside the large urban centers like Tokyo that can attract the film industry like this. And the big drawing card is Okinawa's unique culture.
Vietnam Culture And Traditions::Saigon Tourist While the women are busy cooking, the men are busy styles, and rock music from Westerncultures became popular. They are then used as needed and mixed with glue http://www.vietnamsaigontourist.com/vietnamtraditions1.htm
Extractions: VIETNAMESE CULTURE Family and Social Culture Before the late 1980s, nearly all Vietnamese people lived in villages, and the cultivation of wet rice was the principal economic activity. The basic component of rural society was the nuclear family, composed of parents and unwed children. Respect for parents and ancestors is a key virtue in Vietnam. The oldest male in the family is the head of the family and the most important family member. His oldest son is the second leader of the family. Sometimes, related families live together in a big house and help each other. The parents chose their children's marriage partners based on who they think is best suited for their child. When people die, their families honor their ancestors on the day of their death by performing special ceremonies at home or at temples and by burning incense and fake money for the one who died. The Vietnamese believed that by burning incense, their ancestors could protect them and their family from danger and harm. Days before the ceremony starts, the family has to get ready, because they won't have enough time to get ready when the guests arrive and the ceremony starts. Usually the women cook and prepare many special kinds of food, like chicken, ham, pork, rice, and many more including desserts.
\Culture In Acadiana black and 20 percent persons of mixed racial ancestry The German contribution to theculture can be found in the in Robert s Cove, and various cooking traditions http://www.lsue.edu/acadgate/culture.htm
Extractions: The following information has been extracted from the second volume of LSUE's Louisiana Folklore Series, a project that was supported in part by funds from the Louisiana State Arts Council and the Louisiana Division of the Arts as administered by the Acadiana Arts Council. The volume, which includes four extensive interviews with representatives from four major culture groups, is the work of Dr. Susan LeJeune, Dr. Linda Langley, and Dr. Claude Oubre, all members of the LSUE faculty. For more information, contact the LSUE Office of Grants and Assessment, (318) 457-7311, ext. 215. The Cajuns of the southwest Louisiana Prairie are descendants of the French who settled Acadie or Acadia in Canada during the seventeenth century. Isolated from and neglected by both France and Canada, the Acadians developed a tightly knit culture based on the interdependence of families and family members. They learned from their neighbors, the Micmac Indians, not only how to survive the rigors of the Acadian wilderness but to prosper in the process. At the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713, France ceded Acadie to England (who renamed it Nova Scotia), making the Acadians subjects of England. However, the Acadians refused to take an unconditional oath of allegiance to England and insisted on being granted neutral status, as well as on retaining their Roman Catholic religious beliefs.

A Brief History Of The Metis People or Missouri Metis or the other mixed Blood Peoples The Metis culture however findsit s apex not in the Red traits like their clothing, methods of cooking etc. http://www.wolflodge.org/visibiliti/metis/history.htm
Extractions: they believed their own location was the best Metis: Those peoples who were called Bois Brûle, Half-breed, Country-born, Mixed blood, Michif, Chicot, Mountain Men or even Savages (meaning those who have taken up savage ways) are included in my quest to understand my ancestors. Most folks limit the Metis to Canada and some parts of Northern United States to describe people of mixed North American Indian and Indo-European descent. The term 'metis' is a French term that refers to a person of half-breed, mongrel, cross-bred, mestizo or metif blood. I used the term 'Metis' as a generic term to refer to a distinct culture for all those people who are born into it or are adopted into this tradition. Biological metis-sage by itself does not determine a person's social, ethnic or political identity. Canadian 'common law' based on Indian tradition suggests those adopted into a culture have equal rights and responsibilities of those within that culture.

Appalachian Coordinator Bridges Gaps East End, she coordinates a mixed culture of blacks events, providing a place forcultures to meet Books on children, crafts, cooking, gardening and antiques http://enquirer.com/editions/2003/02/28/loc_goodnews28.html
Extractions: Melissa English can tell a tale of two cultures. She works with it every day. With the Urban Appalachian Council, she relates to the public the culture of coal miners, farmers, mountaineers, hunters, trappers and fishermen that originated somewhere in the hilly regions, stretching from southeast New York to central Alabama. As building manager for the Pendleton Heritage Center in the East End, she coordinates a mixed culture of blacks and whites, old and young, families and empty-nesters with low, middle and upper incomes. "As a public information officer and a training coordinator with the council I go into schools, organizations and churches to let people know about the Appalachian culture," she said. "A lot of people here don't know that they are from that culture." She didn't know she was part of it until she started digging into her own background. When she applied for the job with the council, she was told they were looking for someone with Appalachian heritage. "At first I thought, well, that's not me, but when I started digging I found out that my family came out of that area. When I told my mother about it, she said, well I guess that explains why I always liked bluegrass music," English said.
Gullah Culture In Danger Of Fading Away in all parts of the country, including Texas and Oklahoma, where they mixed withthe Other traces of the culture, such as cooking, medicines, storytelling http://news.nationalgeographic.com/news/2001/06/0607_wiregullah.html
Extractions: The Gullahs who live on the island are descendants of West African slaves who worked the rice and cotton fields before they were freed and offered a chance to purchase their land. As whites deserted the coast in favor of milder climates inland, the Gullahs lived in isolation for generations, allowing them to maintain their African culture longer than any slave descendants in America. But more than 300 years after their arrival, some fear the Gullahs' grip on the past as well as their land is slipping. As older generations die, coastal development moves in and young people leave to find work, the people who once thrived along the coast from northern Florida to North Carolina are struggling to hold on to the ancient customs that defined their culture and remained intact almost a century after the emancipation. "These are proud people who have always had a strong sense of history and tradition particularly on St. Helena, which was a point of entry for slaves," said Veronica Gerald, a historian on the island. "There was a time we owned all of this land. We helped to build this coastal area and we are fighting very hard to keep St. Helena as true to its natural state as possible. We see what happened to Hilton Head, and we don't want it here."

Pech Traditions Each culture had their traditional food, the Maya had Maiz and Cacao Similar cookingmethod used by Latinos The levadura is then mixed back into the rest of the http://www.nativeplanet.org/indigenous/pech/pechtradition.htm
Extractions: and Daily Living Today much of the Pech culture and traditional lifestyle has disappeared due to the influence of religion , loss of ancestral land and sacred sites, cultural assimilation, intermarriage, modernization, and discrimination. Many younger Pech think that their level of poverty is associated with their culture or lifestyle. As a result they aspire to the prevailing Latino lifestyle to raise their standard of living. Primary among the Pech traditions that are being left behind are those related to birth and death. The Pech used to have a special ceremony called Kesh during which they drank traditional beverages such as munia (liquor of yucca) and ostia (liquor of sugar can and corn) and ate food such as sasal (type of tamale made of yucca). During these ceremonies, initiated people entered into contact with spirits. Today most Pech have little knowledge of the culture and traditions of their ancestors. Most people younger than 30 or 40 years old have never heard of many of the Pech legends. The ones who know about them have often learned them from books. One they refer to often is the study
