Chapter 640 Grizzly Bear Tribe
Grizzly Bear Tribe, one of the aboriginal tribes in the North.
A tribe that is very good at adapting to their environment, and possesses the qualities of both flexibility and respect for tradition.
Although it sounds quite contradictory, after all, flexibility and respect for tradition sound like two contradictory things.
But for the grizzly bear tribe, there is nothing difficult to understand.
If it can make life better, it means it is useful. Naturally, we must adopt a new way of life, and we cannot stick to the old ways and cling to the past.
But if the old stuff proves to be useful, then naturally we will continue to use the old stuff.
From this point of view, they are actually very pragmatic pragmatists, but they prefer to maintain the traditional lifestyle and then make changes in the details.
This is actually quite understandable. It has only been one or two years since the northern border entered extremely cold weather, and the change in lifestyle due to the influence of the Victoria Empire only took place in the past two or three years.
Before that, the local aboriginal people still continued their traditional way of life. Even if they were invaded by the empire and moved from the New World to the north, the way of life of the local people did not change significantly.
Purficott is obviously not a person who would destroy the native customs of the local people. She has always allowed the local aborigines to retain their living habits of the past tribal era.
As long as it doesn't cause her trouble, she doesn't care even if these aborigines want to live in the trees as savages.
And because she has the title of Great Chief, which is shared by all the tribes in the north, the local aborigines have a considerable degree of respect for her. Even if someone really wants to cause trouble for her, others will kill her first.
Because of this, the grizzly bear tribe living in Wasted is still very cooperative with the work of the local magistrate.
Although they did not agree with the local school education philosophy, they still sent their children over. They only made one request in exchange, that is, the school must be built on the ground so that the children can temper their will and body in the ice and snow.
To this end, they also sent over the strongest ancestral warriors of their tribe to serve as teachers for these children to teach them how to survive in the cold environment and how to make themselves stronger.
And this teacher, the aboriginal who stood up straight in front of Purficott and was more than two meters tall, looked more like a brown bear than a human.
"You look very tall, the ancestral warrior of the Grizzly Bear Tribe." Perficott glanced at the strong man in front of him with interest, and asked curiously: "Does the ancestral spirit of your tribe still make you look taller?" Greater and stronger ability? ”
"Yes, Great Chief. The ancestral spirits of the Grizzly Bear Tribe have always protected the tribe, allowing the people of the tribe to always have a stronger body than other tribes." The strong man answered Purficott's question and also said to She respects him very much.
He didn't look down on Perfectcott just because he hadn't reached his chest yet.
"Sounds good. Are you a teacher in this school now? Give me a tour." Purficott motioned to the strong man to lead the way. She wanted to know more about the school.
Naturally, the strong man did not refuse and walked into the school with Purfict and his friends.
"I am responsible for teaching children how to exercise. These are the lessons that the children of the Grizzly Bear Tribe used to learn how to become ancestral warriors. I have lowered the difficulty a bit and simplified some of the more dangerous places." The strong man took Purfey with him. Kurt and others came to a place that looked like a playground and pointed at someone who was wiping their naked clothes with snow. The children who were pregnant said: "Although the effect is relatively small, and it is difficult for these children to become ancestral warriors, their bodies are very healthy and stronger than ordinary children." Perficott looked at The children, who were shirtless and grabbed a handful of snow from the ground and rubbed it on their chests and other parts of their bodies, frowned slightly.
She has seen this method before, it is a way to strengthen the body, but she has seen this method more often with adults. Is it a bit radical to use it on children?
But Purficott did not deny it hastily. He just asked the strong man on the side: "Are many children in the school sick? Can they adapt to this kind of training method?"
Yes, in Purficott's opinion this is a way of training.
"At first, there were a lot of sick and uncomfortable cubs, but after the tribal shaman prepared some herbs for them, they got much better. Now basically no one is sick, and everyone's body is obviously stronger." The strong man Explaining to Purficott.
Hearing what the strong man said, Purficott looked over carefully and saw that the children did indeed have bulging muscles, and they looked much stronger than the average children of this era.
Purficott nodded slightly at this. If the children's health could be ensured, this kind of exercise could indeed lead to a stronger body.
In a harsh environment, being thin is a kind of original sin, because the harsh environment itself will form a kind of survival of the fittest, and those who are not healthy enough will be eliminated by the natural environment.
The development of human civilization allows humans to better adapt to the environment and even transform the environment in turn, which to a certain extent offsets the environment's influence on human beings.
But that doesn't mean humans can't become stronger and healthier to adapt to the environment.
Purficott looked at the children and did not bother them rashly. She just motioned to the strong man to take her to visit other places.
Then, they saw a totem pole on campus.
"Is this the totem pole of your grizzly bear tribe? You put it here?" Purficott was suddenly surprised.
The totem pole is a very sacred and important thing for an aboriginal tribe, and it can even be said to be the spiritual belief of the entire tribe.
Is there really no problem if I just leave it here?
"This is the meaning of the tribal shaman and the spirit of the ancestors. The shaman believes that children are the future of the tribe. Letting the children live next to the spirits of the ancestors from an early age will help them get closer to the spirits of the ancestors and obtain the ancestors. The blessing of the spirit." The strong man explained that this is actually one of the traditions of their grizzly bear tribe.
"This really opened my eyes. Your Grizzly Bear Tribe is indeed different." Purficott's eyebrows raised. She really felt that her eyes were opened.
This also made her think more about education in schools in the North. After all, the way these aborigines train their children can indeed make their bodies stronger and more adaptable to the current environment in the North.
