2 Anthropology Bugaloo By Cheryl Graham I m an anthropologist and I m here to say, I study native peoples every day. Sometimes I ask questions, or hear a shaman s song, Researching culture all day long. I study about people and what they used, For hunting, fishing and cooking food. I learn about shelter that people lived in, Made of cedar planks, earth or animal skin. I research special events of early life Along with natural everyday strife. I study the tools natives created, For their survival technology aided. I study about each region and culture From the information that I gather. I carefully record native celebrations, Handed down through many generations.
