② For 3,000 years, Mongolians have lived in the rural areas, moving to search new grassland for
their cattle. They depend on their livestock for a living. Today, about half of Mongolia's population
is living in the ger and moving their camping equipment several times a year. nomadic life develops
in summer and survives in winter. When the weather is warm, they work hard on their farms to get
milk and make airag — a type of milk alcohol, consuming meat from their sheep and goats. Once
winter comes, temperatures drop quickly and they stay indoors and survive on horse meat.
With the rise of technology, changes in the Mongolian nomadic lifestyle are almost inevitable.
Many herders use motorbikes to herd cattle and horses. To move their homes, they use trucks
instead of ox carts. Solar panels are also becoming an addition to the ger, giving them access to
electricity without being confined to one place. The nomads use solar energy to power TV sets and
mobile phones.

The Wodaabe Tribe

 Australian Aborigines
There are about 500 ethnic groups in Australia called Aboriginals. Before white people came,
Aboriginal people lived throughout Australia, and the highest population was along the coast.
They were traditionally hunters and gatherers who did not live in one place. They moved around
their country to search for food. Within the clan, all members had specific roles and responsibilities
to ensure the survival of their community. Men hunted animals, such as
kangaroos, emus, birds, reptiles and fish. Women collected fruits, honey, insects, eggs and plants.
They had a steady supply of food thanks to hunting and gathering. They were experts in finding
sources of water.
Since the British first came to Australia, Aboriginals lost most of their land and a large number of
native people were killed due to huge waves of diseases. Today more than half of all Aboriginals
live in towns, often in the suburbs in bad living conditions.
Nowadays, there are laws to protect the rights of Aboriginals, and Aboriginal communities have
their own territory, and mining companies can't have projects on their sacred land.
