ABSTRACT
Throughout history, humans have often wanted to fi nd out about one other. Explorers, anthropologists, historians, educators and others have been inspired by this curiosity. Some groups are interesting because they have made conscious decisions to resist change and have become enclosed communities, disconnected from the outside world. Other groups have made conscious decisions to maintain their distinctive ways of life while needing to interact successfully with, and respond to changes to, the outside world in order to preserve their distinctive lifestyles. Either way, this juxtaposition between two worlds is a fascinating point at which to examine how change in one world may effect change in the other.
