| ARTICLES RELATED TO People | | | | | |  People: Encyclopedia II - Chechen people - CulturePrior to the adoption of Islam, the Chechens practiced a unique blend of religious traditions and beliefs. They partook in numerous rites and rituals, many of them pertaining to farming- these included rain rites, a celebration that occurred on the first day of plowing, as well as the Day of the Thunderer Sela and the Day of the Goddess Tusholi.
The Chechen social code is embodied in the term “nokchallah”, which, although it resists direct translation into English, implies moral and ethical behavior-chivalry, generosity and ...

| | | | | | | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Culture Tibet boasts a rich culture. Tibetan festivals such as Losar, Shoton, Linka, and the Bathing Festival are deeply rooted in indigenous religion and also contain foreign influences. Each person takes part in the Bathing Festival three times: at birth, at marriage, and at death. It is traditionally believed that people should not bathe casually, but only on the most important occasions.

| | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Germanic peoples - History
Germanic peoples - Origin.
Regarding the question of ethnic origins, evidence developed by both archaeologists and linguists suggests that a people or group of peoples sharing a common material culture dwelt in northern Germany and southern Scandinavia during the late European Bronze Age (1000 BC-500 BC). This culture group is called the Nordic Bronze Age and spread from southern Scandinavia into northern Germany. The long presence of Germanic tribes in southern Scandinavia (an Indo-European language had probably arrived by 2000 BC) is also evidenced by the fact that no pre-German ...

| | | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Spanish people - Other related peoples The descendants of Spaniards can be found throughout the Hispanic nations of Latin America in the form of creoles, mestizos and mulattos. A small but important Spanish-mestiso minority (approx. 1%) is also to be found in the Philippines.
Spain itself consists of various regional sub-nationalities including the Castilians (a culturally-dominant minority [4] who most strongly identify with a Spanish identity), the Catalans, Valencians and Balearics (speakers of a distinct yet related Romance language in eastern Spain, the Basques, and t ...

| | | | | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Forever People - Members Beautiful Dreamer has been married to Big Bear, and together they had a child, named Maya, after the spirit of their old Mother Box.
Since then, apparently their marriage and daughter has been voided by the magical powers of the "retcon"; currently, Dreamer is romantically involved with Takion, the new Highfather of New Genesis. Dreamer has psionic powers, which she can create illusions with. She has also been able, like other ...

| | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Divisions The Tibetan people are divided into several groups. These include the Changri, Nachan, and Hor, who are further divided into fifty-one sub-tribes, each of them maintaining a distinct yet related cultural identity.
The Tibetans living in Kham are of Qiang descent and speak a Qiangic language, although they are not officially classified as part of the Qiang minority. The Hor, who are further sub-divided into thirty-nine sub-tribes, are of Mongolian descent. The Tibetans in Kham are also known as the Khampa, while those in the far west a ...

| | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Religion Tibetans generally observe Tibetan Buddhism and a collection of native traditions known as Bön (also absorbed into mainstream Tibetan Buddhism). The Tibetan Muslims are also known as the Kache.
Legend said that the 28th king of Tibet, Lhatotori Nyentsen, dreamed of a sacred treasure falling from heaven, which contained a Buddhist sutra, mantras, and religious objects. However, because the modern Tibetan script was not introduced to the people, no one knew what was written on the sutra upon the first look. Buddhism did not take root i ...

| | | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Peoples Temple - Controversy Then disturbing accounts began to spring up, told by a few people who had succeeded in leaving the cult. Jones was stealing from his followers, faked the miracle healings, was punishing the members severely, practiced sodomy with male members, and now considered himself the new Messiah.
By now, journalists, law enforcement officials, and politicians were showing interest in Jones' group. Jim Jones reacted with frequent long and angry speeches, where he claimed that the defectors lied, and the outside world was trying to destroy them. ...

| | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Duala peoples - Classification All of the Duala peoples are Bantu in language and origin. More narrowly, they fall into the Sawa, or the coastal peoples of Cameroon.
Duala peoples - Subgroups.
In addition to the tribal distinctions noted in the introduction, the Duala groups further sort themselves into a number of sub-lineages or clans. Among the Bakweri and Isubu, sub-lineages typically fall along village lines. Each village thus is composed of one extended family. Among the Duala proper, these are the Bonanjo (including the Bonapriso ...

| | | | | People: Encyclopedia II - Tibetan people - Origins It is generally agreed that Tibetans share a considerable genetic background with Mongols, although other main influences do exist. Some anthropologists have suggested an Indo-Scythian component, and others a Southeast Asian component; both are credible given Tibet's geographic location. The romantic claim that American Hopi and Tibetans are close cousins is not likely to find support in genetic studies, although strong cultural similarities may be found between the two groups. Some light has been shed on their origins, however, by one gene ...
