In regards to the Sumran, the Bedawin tribes of the Israeli Arabi, it seems the area of the Sinai & the Negev were called by medieval Arabic chroniclers as the Tiyah Bani Israel.

I don't know if this has anything to do with the comment made by Josephus that the ancestors of the Jews were the Eastern Ethiopians mentions by a contemporary of Herodotus (the Loeb translator for Josephus links them with the Arabians mentioned by Herodotus).

There may also be a link when Maqrizi, a student of the great Andalusian/Maghrebi Ibn Khaldun, mentions the Israeli Jacobites in Samra (another name for Misr) (A short history of the coptic church, p. 72). Does this have something to do with the "other Bedouin Christians" who I presume to mean Shamiyah Jacobites by the student of Blumenbach Seetzen? The Aramaic Nazereni of Shams are the cultural heirs of the Hebrew Christians or those Aramaic speaking Jews who became Chrisitan as opposed to the Greek Speaking Christian Jews & Gentile Christians.

This could have something to do with the Shasu who the Bibical Egyptologist Frank Yurco notes are connected with Yahweh of Seir & were part of the group that eventually became known as the Israelites in the New Kingdom.

Still its surprising the Bedawin still call themselves Sumran given the globalist plantation system and its standards of beauty (very different from old school Badawi standards as shown as the attractiveness noted of the Qibt Mary; THE Churches and Monasteries of Egypt Some Neighbouring Countries, p.100).

It seems to be an issue even in the U.N.

Quote:
"Although the original creators may have intended Wonder Woman to represent a strong and independent 'warrior' woman with a feminist message, the reality is that the character's current iteration is that of a large breasted, white woman of impossible proportions," the petition read.

It appears some 4th Worlders are tackling this issue head on though.

Quote:
Undoubtedly our beauty aesthetic has evolved with time and Western influence.

Which leads me back to my initial question: What, traditionally, made an Indian woman “beautiful”?

If we can begin to collectively define our beauty standards and sexuality based on our own authentic indigenous values, then we might have a chance of changing our lenses before it’s too late. Or is it already too late?

Here is an interesting story about reintroducing Aboriginal languages & oral traditions via the ethnos project & new media to up & coming generations.

"Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa)" - a video game based on Kunuuksaayuka, an Iñupiat narrative
Ethnos Project Blog: Cultural gaming: Iñupiat stories come alive in "Never Alone (Kisima Inŋitchuŋa)"

I would just again remind about the globalist plantation & its constant propaganda about beauty standards, since wards & dependents way too often ape the most disgusting & despicable elements of their massah.

Here are some examples of the Bedawin Sumrani standards of beauty as well as some from the Beldi el Algiers since many of them fled to Shams as well when the invasions of the 19th century occurred (The Book of Canticles, p. 30; Algiers with Notices of the Neighbouring States of Barbary, Volume 1, p.191).

Can't change the past but its unwise to forget it when moving forward.

The strongman of physical anthropology, C. Loring Brace, noted phenetic affinity of Pacific Islanders (like Aboriginal Hawaiians & related peoples like the Samoans), the Ainu of Japan, & continental US Aboriginals with the Jomon of ancient Japan. Now all this means is that there seems to be a shared common ancestry, who knows how far back this goes (they can go back as far as 100 thousand years) and anyway nothing cultural or political has anything to do with it.

Still there seems to be an Ainu cultural renaissance (and possibly environmentalism) going on in Japan.

Perhaps now is a good time for the Aboriginal nations to develop diplomatic ties & trade deals with Japan.

So there are definitely communities that are concerned about environmental conservation & preservation even if they are the last thing that comes to mind when most Americans think of environmentalist.

Given that Nina Turner as part of the Movement Formerly Known as the Sanderistas is based in the region of the Midwestern states of Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Illnois, Michigan, Ohio (this cultural zone grades through Pennsylvania towards upstate NY) & the people of Aborginal descent from Hawaii, Alaska & the continental U.S. was such a big part of the movement, I hope environmental education like reforestation & wildlife protection for western U.S. flora & fauna will continue on for the up and coming generations.

George Caitlin actually wanted Aboriginals to be part of the National parks project initially, though as we now see things got derailed & distorted.

But maybe current generations might choose a different path.

Quote:
Carol McBryant, the relevancy, diversity, and inclusion strategist for the National Park Service, said on Thursday, August 25, that the continent belongs to indigenous people and that the most meaningful work she’s done during her 30 years with the federal agency is to “sit and listen” to them and “hear the pain” of their mistreatment.

“And when I listen, I hear the pain of the taking of land, taking of culture, the taking of language,” said McBryant, who is returning to her post after serving as the acting chief of cultural interpretation and tribal tourism program manager at the park service for the past six months.
Indian Country Media Network: NPS Official: Continent Belongs to Native Americans ‘I Hear the Pain’

Those of the 4th World Ghauriyah might not know that the Pharaohs were heavy into building royal parks & those that derive their lieage from Berber Bedouin tribes like the Hawara (Misri Berbers like the Hanadi were often confounded with the Hawara due to their emir in Saheed) were said to be with Zanatiyah by Leo who had beautiful oasis fauna & flora in Bilad Jarid.

Curious if this group will support environmental conservation & preservation like the counterpart they aspire to be an alternative to.

Quote:
They meet on weekends for target practice, they’re more than 1,000 strong, they recently formed a new chapter in Northern California and they call themselves liberals.

Rather than “window-dressing ‘solutions’ like so-called ‘assault weapons’ bans and magazine capacity restrictions,” the group said in an official statement, the government should promote “mitigation for violence prevention: stronger mental health care, addressing poverty, homelessness and unemployment.”

The headline in the link says $1.2 million while the lead content says $1.2 billion and the interview refers to it as $1.2 million. Am I missing something?


Sounds like Main Streeters are taking control of their economic fate because the municipality gave them $1.2 million or billion to do so.


I have a mixed reaction to this.


On one hand I get it. Municipalities and states give all sorts of hand outs to larger businesses and employers so why not worker-owned co-ops? On the other hand, it's just another hand-out. There once was a guy who occupied the oval who said something along the lines of " you did not build that". I think he may have been onto something there.

Talk about the forgotten, though perhaps what was lost is being found again.

Quote:
An ancient variety of squash that was all but lost to history is now being rediscovered. Native Americans in the Great Lakes region have cultivated this squash for centuries, and now tribes are sharing the seeds with each other and with small farmers to bring the plant back.

"Maybe success is, if you live here in west Michigan, you understand — and maybe everyone's aware of — what Anishanabe food is and .... these foods becomes very accessible for people. This is sustainability for everyone and local food for everyone," he says.

Here's more info the aboriginal game.

Quote:
The Iñupiat people, a tribe native to Alaska, did not have a written language for much of their history. Instead, for thousands of years, their culture was passed down orally, often in the form of stories that parents and grandparents would tell and entrust to their children. In recent years, those stories, and the lessons and values and history that they contain, have become harder to preserve, as the young people of the tribe, growing up in the modern world, have drifted further and further from traditional ways. This video, which originally appeared on “The New Yorker Presents” (Amazon Originals) and is based on a story by Simon Parkin, is about a recent experiment in transmitting Iñupiat culture through a new medium: a video game.

More interesting comparisons made between the Bedawin ancestors of the Sumran & Aboriginals of the states (Travels to Jerusalem and the Holy Land: Through Egypt, Volume 1, p.360-361).

4th Worlders, especially the up and comingers must understand that the globalist plantation bourgeois has not given up its obsession with bio & cultural genocide in order to create some post-racial plantation wurld order utopia, yet since the beginnings of the plantation Atlantic 6 centuries ago, one has yet to come into existence (Researches Into the Physical History of Mankind, Volume 2, p.34).

Here a broad overview of the range among some 4th World Aboriginals (ibid, Volume 5, p.131; p. 138; p.171). The range of variation reported among the southern Nipponi isles supports the connection between the relatives of the Jomon & the Pacific(ibid, Volume 4, p. 492; Ainos).

Beauty comes in many shapes & guises.

Quote:
I began to realize, with time, that there were other worlds than the one presented by my own society. There existed different cultures, each of which varied in its respective vision of what could be considered beautiful.

Popular society, it began to seem, tended to push its own perceptions upon others. Media and commercialism were the tools by which this was accomplished. It did wonders for my outlook to realize that in old Hawaii, a thin woman used to be considered homely, while a heavy woman ? the fatter the better ? was absolutely radiant.
