Ethnic Minorities in Vietnam

Natalie, you have learned a lot about Canada's indigenous people- the Inuit, the Metis and First Nations (treaty First Nations and non treaty First Nations). Many countries have their own indigenous people. In Vietnam there are 56 distinct Groups of Ethnic minorities. The ethnic minority you belong to is: Tay. Piper belongs to the Nung ethnic minority. These two groups are closely related. They are part of a larger group that includes some people from China. Together this large group is called the Zhuang People. Ong and Ba have told us that you have ancestors in China. A couple of reasons this might be:
1) people might meet someone in a village across the border in China, marry them and move there; or becasue
2) the china/Vietnam border has moved a number of times over many years. Maybe the place your Chinese ancestors are from was once part of Vietnam.


Here is some information about your ethnic group.

Lesson 1- exercise plus math

1. Explain what we did We counted how many steps it took to get around the building then we measured our stride length to see how many times around the building made a km. 2. What is stride length? Stride length is the length between your toes or your heels when you walk .Or in other words the length between your footsteps when you walk. 3. How did we figure out stride length with out a ruler? Well my mom asked for a piece of paper because she knew the length and she used that knowledge to create a ruler and we all took turns walking and the other 2 put tape down on the place where they would use after. After that we used multiplication to figure out the answer. We figured out that 4 laps around the building =1 km. 4. What information did we use that we already knew The information we used was that we made a ruler out of a piece of paper and we measured the floorboards and then we multiplied that number with 39370.1 (the number of inches in 1km) and we got our...
