Hi, I'm doing a final work in anthropologie about the whale riders and their culture. Is about a island that have whal riders and then it been prohibited, and now they change their culture in many ways exploring the whale in tourism, etc.
Can anybody give me a clues...Thanks

bump!

I'm not familiar with the culture you're talking about, but it could be the Maori of New Zealand. Check the Link below.

the culture in question is azores, and the influence of the wales is their lifes.....

:(

You seem to be the one with the information... Tell me all you know, and perhaps I'll know what book or journal to look in for you.

Or better yet... take what you know to you local library and do the research...


I'm willing to help (and interested) but you don't give a lot to go on.

well my big doubt is what I will explore. If the impact of the turism, if the new traditions or if the simbolism. There is a new range of new culture but I don't know if i put all this in the final work.
And I want too good books that explore all of this.

Thanks for any help..

anyone...the tradition is wale hunting...thanks

any bibliography?
thanks
