Tracing New Zealanders’ Genetic History The Genographic Team has been in New Zealand this week, working with people of Pacific as well as European and other heritages to trace their genetic history. Each person does this by just rubbing a cotton swab inside his or her cheek. We will then take the tiny resulting DNA sample and compare it with the Genographic database, revealing the person’s place on the human family tree. An earlier post talked about meeting the Ngāi Tāmanuhiri community near Gisborne, New Zealand. Collaborating with the Allan Wilson Centre, we invited one hundred Wellington area residents to participate in the Genographic Project by swabbing with the latest version of our kit, “Geno 2.0,” to add their DNA to the project’s worldwide effort to better understand human history and migration. A Wellington, New Zealand resident swabs with Genographic ProjectPrincipal Investigator, Lisa Matisoo-Smith, to participate in theGenographic Project.

Indians.org - Welcome . . . If the poor must work to earn every dollar, shouldn’t the rich? Correction: This piece incorrectly suggested that data drawn from Christopher Faricy’s book “Welfare for the Wealthy” were from 2016. The figures, on federal Medicaid spending, employer-based health insurance, and Pell grants and college-related tax deductions, were from 2012. The GOP hopes to channel momentum from their victory of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act into a push to overhaul the nation's welfare programs. The argument over which poor people deserve aid has begun anew thanks to incipient Republican efforts to harshen work requirements attached to welfare programs. It’s a badly mistaken point of view.

Official Home of the Nez Perce Tribal Web Site Does America have a caste system? In the United States, inequality tends to be framed as an issue of either class, race or both. Consider, for example, criticism that Republicans’ new tax plan is a weapon of “class warfare,” or accusations that the recent U.S. government shutdown was racist. As an India-born novelist and scholar who teaches in the United States, I have come to see America’s stratified society through a different lens: caste. Many Americans would be appalled to think that anything like caste could exist in a country allegedly founded on life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. But is the U.S. really so different? What is caste? I first realized that caste could shed a new light on American inequality in 2016, when I was scholar-in-residence at the Center for Critical Race Studies at the University of Houston-Downtown. There, I found that my public presentations on caste resonated deeply with students, who were largely working-class, black and Latino. First, caste cannot be transcended.
Coat of arms of New Zealand Facts for Kids The coat of arms of New Zealand is a national symbol of New Zealand. The initial coat of arms was granted by royal warrant of King George V on 26 August 1911, and the current version was granted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1956. History and design The coat of arms is displayed in public buildings such as the Wellington District Court. Until 1911, New Zealand used the same royal coat of arms as the United Kingdom.
