How much confidence you have Mike to talk to them. What picturesque houses of that tribe, Africame is quite fascinating.

Our African/Southern African guiding principles might have different titles dependent on language we speak but I believe they are one and the same for us all in Africa.. in Southern Africa we use Hunhu/Ubuntu and these terms do not mention ethnicty, tribe or skin colour.. Hunhu/Ubuntu loosely translated means that.. A person is a person through other persons.. I can not be a person all by myself.. I am therefor we are.. Our culture is we not I.. It takes the whole village to raise a child.. Your child is my child and mine is yours and we grow them together for the community.. Our elders are (our parents grandparents ) not just mine.. Your mother's sisters are your mothers too and your father's brothers are your fathers too.. Our relationship with nature in Zimbabwe and other parts of Africa.. In Zim We have two surnames which are part of nature.. The second surname today is not something held sacred as when I was growing up in the 60 and 70s..the First surmame can be an animal, Elephant=zhou=Ndlovu, lion=shumba, Buffalo=nyati, bird, eagle=Hungwe, fish=Hove water pool=Dziva, open veld=Bhebhe, cattle=Nkomo or a part of an animal=leg=gumbo.. The second is a family tree, I mean a real tree and each family has a different tree.. I would challenge my fellow countrymen to find out from their elders what their family tree is...growing up in my family our family was bangare/mubangare.. We could not denigrate or use our family tree for building, firewood or anything.. My grandmother would inspect the firewood and If anyone picked it up my mistake.. We were to take back that wood back where we found it.. Or she she might.. I never thought to ask why as I was young.. My own belief is this was part of our indigenous conservation practices... Other families could use our family tree and we theirs..this kind of makes sense so we don't just plunder the forest.. Our first surname or totem.. We are also not denigrate our totem in any way.. If its an animal or bird.. You can not eat the representive of your totem and who you are nor hunt that animal for sport.. Not to say that was ever part of our tradition.. but others can eat your totem .. It kind of makes sense that if we all eat everything then soon enough there will be nothing left..

@@ShivakumarKaladagi-f3q You are very uninformed/ignorant. Methyl folate is NOT a drug nor a medicine and NOT addictive. It is what the human body makes when it has the necessary processes to breakdown folic acid (also a natural substance the human body needs, and without which babies would be born with neural defects). Some people are unable to breakdown folic acid into methyl folate, which can cause problems with brain chemicals such as dopamine and serotonin.

He would even cry like a child at times when he would deeply long for his Dominican farm and animals in his Village of Puerto Plata Dominican Republic after only a month or so.

There are old souls that can be found in every country, every ethnicity, every group of humans. Conversely, there are also psychopaths found in every human group--these are the extremes though. Most people are somewhere more in the middle and more of a mix of constructive and destructive. Mipisi knows about the Oneness--a very clear sign (that and the happiness/joy he radiates) that he is definitely a more mature soul than the average.
