This is a necklace made by Faye Thayer of Ft. Washakee, Wyoming. Faye is Eastern Shoshone. Beads were in prized in Native North America and were in use long before white contact. Archaeological information tells us that beads were in use as far back as history can be extrapolated. Native Beads were generally made of natural materials like wood, bone, shell, and metal. Europeans introduced colorful glass beads. In the Beads were used as currency for global trade rather than paper money. KwaZulu-Natal Programme for Survivors of Violence These are Friends in South Africa. Their work is primarily with Zulu and Xhosa communities that are victims of the Apartheid. The bead was made in Venice, probably in the mid 1700s. This type of bead was widely traded in Africa, hence the common name "African Trade Bead." The Waseskun Network These are First Nations Friends in Canada. Their work is primarily with men who have been in corrections. This is a French Ambassador Bead, given by visiting French traders as a gift of respect to tribal headmen. The most interesting aspect of this bead is that it is made of clear glass. This was a difficult affect to achieve prior to the time of thermostat controlled heat to melt the glass.

THE GLOBAL AFRICAN COMMUNITY H I S T O R Y N O T E S SOUTH AFRICA By AUTHUR LEWIN Posted by RUNOKO RASHIDI T he year was 1818, and the great king of the Methethwa had just fallen in battle. One of his lieutenants rallied the remnants of his reeling army at a place called Goqkoli Hill. The Methethwa were a branch of the Ngoni speakers of the Bantu people. More than 1500 years before, they had left West Africa on an epic migratory journey. Like all Bantu they were peaceful people. But in recent years the fertile land they had settled, between the mountains and the sea, in the eastern tip of southern Africa, had begun to dry. And so war had become the order of the day. Their king had led them well in a series of conflicts. But now he was dead, and those who survived prepared to make a stand. Wave after wave of fierce black warriors came flying up the slopes of Goqkoli Hill. They crashed again and again into a wall of shields. And then, when their fury was spent, the Methethwa came pouring down on their foes and onto the pages of history. The dead king was Dingiswayo. His stalwart lieutenant was Shaka. The Methethwa and all whom they conquered were, and still are, the Zulu. More than 100 years before and a 1000 miles away, the Dutch first landed at the southernmost point of Africa (today called the Cape of Good Hope.) The Dutch East India Company, in 1652, set up the settlement to maintain a supply station for trading ships headed for Asia by way of the African coast. (And it became the modern day city of Capetown.) In time, they began raising cattle and crops, and as these activities increased, their contact and conflict with the indigenous peoples, the Khoikoi and the San steadily intensified.

    - they were hunters and food-gatherers.
    -they employed stone age technology, but they had very extensive and sophisticated knowledge of plants and animals in their environment.
    - they were the cave painters in South Africa; they used similar themes and materials as were used by cave painters in the Sahara dating back about 30,000 years.
    Khoikhoi (Hottentots)
    - the Khoikhoi were pastoralists (cattle-keepers);
    - they had some metals (copper and alloys); they may have acquired these in trade (some evidence of dispersion of metals from central Africa), but there are also evidences of smelting in number of areas of the north-western Cape and Namibia.
    - pastoralism gave more control over food supply and somewhat more intensive exploitation allowed denser population and larger political/judicial systems; however, these systems often did not function continuously throughout the year. Annual migrations would bring people together for part of the year; then they would disperse to other grazing grounds for the remainder of the year. Thus, the degree of control and the level of cohesion were limited.
    - the Khoikhoi were vulnerable to loss of cattle because their way of life and livelihood depended on this; yet cattle were practically the only commodity which they could trade for European goods. As dependencies on these goods grew, loss of cattle left few economic choices except to become labourers for the white settlers.

    struggle"). BACKGROUND MATERIAL Section 4: SOUTH AFRICA AND MADAGASCAR History, topography, cultural influences In looking at the musics from Southern Africa (including Zimbabwe, Malawi, Madagascar, and South Africa itself), it is especially important to look at the historical, cultural, and political background of these musics, because they have been crucial in the construction of identity and of colonial and post-colonial attitudes. For centuries, Southern Africa has been a region of very sophisticated cultural interactions. The modern political history of colonialism and apartheid tended on the one hand to separate South African musics from other countries, and on the other to repress the cultural expressions of the indigenous people, but the old traditions of music as poetry, as story-telling, as praise, and as spiritual tool continued very strongly. Moreover, South Africa's very rich natural resources, including gold and diamonds, led to a musical legacy from centuries of Dutch and English colonialism. Immigrant music cultures including East Indian, Jewish, and other European countries also intermingled with the indigenous traditions. By the early 17th century, Dutch sailors, traders and (especially) gold and diamond miners were an established presence in South Africa. The English crown established a trading port on the coast in the 18th century, and the fortunes to be made in South African natural resources led to disputes, not only between Dutch and English, but also the colonists and the native peoples. As is usually the case in politically repressive conditions, the underlying motivation was economic: by exploiting native miners and support staff, the colonists could make more money with lower expenses. In the 1880s, enormous reserves of gold were discovered in the mid-point of the country, which led to the founding of the city of Johannesburg, known in Zulu as "Egoli," the "City of Gold". At the same time, Dutch and English colonists also made important contributions to the rich musical mix, especially in the harmonized singing style of Methodist hymns, which connected with the indigenous love of choral singing, and in the area of musical instruments: guitars, mandolins, harmoniums, concertinas, pennywhistles, and brass band instruments (trumpet, trombone, saxophone) were all adopted and quickly "re-Africanized" by native musicians. In addition, because of the large and very wealthy European community in South Africa, there was lots of work to be had for musicians: parties, political rallies, public events, and nightclubs all provided employment. And the colonial inhabitants also imported the latest popular music styles, first in sheet music form and then on early 78-rpm records, from Europe and America. American ragtime, jazz, blues and swing music became very popular in South Africa. It should be emphasized that at this time (c1880-1935), while there was clear economic inequality in South Africa, and a wide gap between rich and poor, "European" and "Bantu", the society was relatively open, compared to the brutal race laws and repression which came later. Partly this was a product of another kind of repression: since the 1880s, and especially the Boer War of 1900, fought between British armies and Dutch settlers ("Boers"), political and economic repression of the Dutch by the British was severe. This three-way division of ethnicity (British, Dutch, and indigenous peoples) meant that persons of English descent controlled the Parliament, ran government offices, made decisions about public schooling and public policy. Persons of Dutch descent ("Afrikaans") tended to be shunted outside, their language and culture de-emphasized, and to be denied political power and ethnic equality. However, the 1948 Parliamentary elections brought about a profound shift in political power. For the first time in many decades, and as a result of a fervent voter registration campaign, Dutch/Afrikaans politicians took over both the Presidency and a majority of the Parliamentary seats, and moved quickly to dismantle the relatively tolerant British colonial procedures. They enacted a number of repressive "apartheid" ("separation") laws, which made it illegal for blacks to vote, to congregate in groups, to associate with white people openly, to own certain types of property (especially land), and severely restricted their freedom of movement, access to education, and personal liberties. [next page] In 1950 the law called the "Group Areas Act" was passed, which basically forbade blacks to live anywhere except in newly-created "townships" and "tribal homelands." These "homelands" (the most famous of which is Lesotho) were described by the apartheid government as "free countries," but in fact were nothing more than large tracts of unfertile land, surrounded by white communities, and with no food, water, public services, electricity, sewage, etc. In this fashion, the white minority government was able a) to claim that blacks had their own "homelands," b) to forbid blacks to live anywhere else except these homelands, and c) to refuse any responsibility for public services, education or maintenance. Thus, black people were herded into extremely undesirable places, forced to live only there, and given no means of supporting themselves other than the very low-paying physical work offered by the surrounding white communities. Any black person outside the homeland was required to carry identification materials and proof of employment by a white person or company, and to follow a strict curfew. Once again, these laws, while wearing a political and racial face, were essentially economic: repression of black people in this way forced them to work hard for very low pay, and contributed to a standard of living and a lifestyle for white South Africans which was the most opulent in the world. Even middle- and working-class whites had many servants, all kinds of material positions, much vacation time, and a very luxurious life style. On the other hand, all of these laws, some more openly racist and exploitative than others, affected every level of a black person's existence: food, water, plumbing, electricity, employment, travel, education, health care, etc. And so it is no surprise that black resistance to these conditions has a long history in South Africa, and took many forms: both explicit in the form of demonstrations, sit-ins, and armed resistance, and implicit in the form of secret education, the circulation of banned books, newspapers, performances and recordings. At the same time, however, some of these same conditions led to an explosion of Southern African musical styles. Marabi, kwela, mbube, isicathamiya, mbaqanga, and the wonderful Zulu street musics (all to be discussed in class) were a direct result of the collision of political, racial, economic, and historical factors. In 1961, as a result of new apartheid laws which made it mandatory that all native children learn to speak Afrikaans (the "language of the oppressor," as it were), large demonstrations and strikes were organized by grade-school students. At one such demonstration in Sharpeville, soldiers fired on a crowd of schoolchildren, killing many; the Sharpeville Massacre was followed by a spate of new laws, which banned gatherings of 10 or more black people in any context. In addition to the severe repression of these laws, it also made it impossible for musicians to play for black audiences, because the audiences themselves were forbidden to gather. We will discuss the biographies of Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, Johnny Clegg, and other musicians whose lives and careers were directly affected by the apartheid situation of South Africa. We will also discuss the numerous boycotts and legal sanctions taken by other world governments against South Africa's apartheid government, and the ways in which these restrictions impacted on the lives of musicians within the country's borders. We will also discuss Paul Simon's Graceland album, and the difficult issues that arose when Simon elected to break the boycott. [next page] A word or two about the modern nation of Zimbabwe, whose Shona ethnic music we will discuss in detail: The Shona culture in what is now Zimbabwe (formerly Rhodesia, and originally part of South Africa), dates back to at least the year 1100CE, and was immensely sophisticated and advanced. By the 1950s, as some of South Africa's race laws were changing, a group of white politicians and soldiers, under the leadership of Cecil Rhodes, illegally split their province away from South Africa, forming a nation they called Rhodesia. This government was not recognized by the United Nations, which meant that Rhodesia quickly became quite isolated from world politics. However, the white minority government held firmly onto power, taking ideas from South Africa's use of cultural repression in an attempt to control the native population. We will discuss the role of Shona music, musical instruments, and music styles in the Liberation war that was fought from approximately 1974-1980; also the appearance by Bob Marley and the Wailers at the Independence Celebrations in 1980, in which the illegal white minority government was dismantled and the new independence nation of Zimbabwe was formed. We will do so by focussing on the instrument called the mbira dza vadzimu, on the career of musician and political activist Thomas Mapfumo ("The Lion of Zimbabwe"), and the music style called chimurenga ("music of

    by Karen Lynch Castillo Denver, Colo (NFIC) News From Indian Country - Hayward, Wisc Late March 2001 p. 12B Indigenous earth healers from across the globe convened in Denver to share earth-healing traditions of song, chant, story, ceremony and prayer for the first Indigenous Earth Healers Day 2001. They came from Australia, Canada, Peru, South Africa, Bhutan and the United States. Indigenous peoples throughout the world are being called to join the global community for earth healing. "Never has there been this many people on earth," said conference moderator Tom Goodman, a Muskogee traditionalist, earth healer, and founder of the non-profit organization Earthkeepers. "We are losing animal species every day. As the human population increases, animal numbers decrease." "It is a planetary necessity to heal the earth," said conference organizer Janna Moll, of the Heart Healing Center of Denver, a healing touch organization that assists those in need. "These spiritual leaders carry secrets of healing the earth," she said. "Their path is togetherness and unity - the message during this new millennium."

    AMAZULU: The Life of the Zulu Nation
    by Genevieve Wilcox Visit the Social Studies Article Archive for more social studies-related content. "The aim of our Web site is to provide information about the Zulu tribe of South Africa to the general public in an interesting and entertaining way. We decided on the Zulu tribe as the topic for our Web site, as there are not many electronic resources on this topic (only one was located on our searches on the Internet) and because we realize that the different cultures that make up our Rainbow Nation are a valuable part of our heritage." This quotation comes from three senior high school students at St. Mary's School, Waverley, Johannesburg, South Africa. As a group project in their Computer Studies course, they developed a Web site for the ThinkQuest competition. Each Computer Studies teacher may choose the form of the group project, provided that it makes extensive use of computer applications, and lends itself to group work. The Thinkquest competition suited the criteria perfectly. The class consisted of fifteen students, so they were divided up into five groups of three. They then researched everything they could find about ThinkQuest, studied the rules, and appointed Group Leaders and Coaches. The groups then brainstormed ideas on which to create Web sites, and when they had made decisions, each group put forward a proposal for their ideas. Once accepted, the proposal was sent to Thinkquest, together with all their other details.
