In order to demonstrate your understanding of subsistence modes and its impact on a culture and why a culture acts as it does, your Research Paper will require you to:
1. Select a specific culture from the following list:
a. Basseri of Iran
b. The Batek of Malaysia
c. Enga
d. The Amish
e. Huaorani of Ecuador
f. Bedouin
g. Zulu
h. Kurds
i. Maori
j. Mbuti
k. Nayar of India
l. Semai
m. Navajo
n. Tikopia of Melanesia
2. Research this culture using the Ashford University Online Library. Please identify and use a minimum of three scholarly articles from the library in addition to the text your research. Keep in mind that most anthropological research, whether article length or book length, is either an ethnography or an ethnology. You may use any combination of ethnographies or ethnologies in your paper.
3. Write a seven to eight page long research paper that does the following:

i. Beliefs and values
ii. Economic organization
iii. Gender relations
iv. Kinship
