Hello, young learners! Welcome back to Primary 2 History. In our previous lesson, we learned about Indigenous People Of The State – VIII – Important Places & Values. Today, we’re going to learn about Indigenous People Of The State.

Indigenous People Of The State

The Indigenous People Of The State are the original inhabitants of a particular region. They have lived in their homeland for generations, passing down their traditions and culture through the years.

Location

Location is the specific place or spot where something or someone can be found. It’s like an address that tells you where something is situated. For example, the location of your school is [insert the location of the school].

Norms

Norms are the accepted rules or behaviors in a society or community that people follow to get along with each other and to ensure harmony. These norms include things like how we greet each other, how we behave in public, and how we interact with others.

Types of Norms

There are several types of norms, and they are:

• Folkways: These are the simple, everyday customs and behaviors that are considered normal and polite in a particular culture or community. Folkways are the usual ways people in a society do things, like how we greet each other, the way we dress, or how we eat at the table. For example, in some cultures, it is considered polite to remove your shoes before entering someone’s home.
• Mores: These are norms that are considered more important than folkways. They are often based on moral values and beliefs. Mores are rules that are considered important to the well-being of society. For example, it is considered wrong to steal or to lie.
• Taboos: These are norms that are considered very wrong or unacceptable in a particular culture or society. Taboos are rules or customs that people follow to avoid doing things that are seen as disrespectful, impolite, or harmful. They are things that are not allowed or are considered bad manners in a community. For example, in some cultures, it is taboo to eat certain types of food.
• Laws: These are formal rules that are enforced by the government. Laws are designed to protect people and property and to maintain order in society. For example, it is against the law to drive a car without a license.
