Don’t raise unruly people in extreme cold weather

Chapter 640 Grizzly Tribe
The Grizzly Tribe, one of the indigenous tribes of the North.

A tribe that is very good at adapting to the environment, flexible and respectful of tradition.

Although it sounds contradictory, after all, flexibility and respect for tradition seem to be two contradictory things.

But for the Grizzlies Tribe, this is not difficult to understand.

If it can make life better, then it is useful. Naturally, we should use a new lifestyle and not stick to the old ways.

But if the old stuff proves to be useful, then naturally we should continue to use it.

From this point of view, they are actually very pragmatic pragmatists, but they are relatively more inclined to maintain the traditional lifestyle and then make changes in the details.

This is actually easy to understand. The North has only experienced extremely cold weather in the past two or three years, and the change in lifestyle due to the influence of the Victoria Empire has only occurred in the past two or three years.

Before this, the local indigenous people continued their traditional way of life. Even after being invaded by the empire and migrating from the New World to the north, the local people's lifestyle did not change much.

And Perfect is obviously not someone who would destroy the local people's original customs. She has always allowed the local indigenous people to retain their living habits from the past tribal era.

As long as they don't cause her trouble, she doesn't care even if these natives want to live like savages in trees.

Moreover, because she holds the title of Great Chief, who is respected by all the tribes in the north, the local indigenous people all have a considerable degree of respect for her. Even if someone really wants to cause trouble for her, they will be killed by others first.

It is also because of this that the Grizzly Bear Tribe living in Vosde still cooperates very well with the work of local officials.

Although they did not agree with the local school education philosophy, they still sent their children here and made one request in exchange, that is, the school must be built on the ground so that the children can temper their will and physique in the ice and snow.

To this end, they also sent the strongest ancestor warriors from their tribe to serve as teachers for these children and teach them how to survive in the cold environment and how to make themselves stronger.

And this teacher, the aboriginal standing in front of Perfectok, is more than two meters tall and looks more like a brown bear than a human.

"You look very tall, an ancestor warrior of the Grizzly Bear Tribe." Perfect looked at the sturdy man in front of him with interest and asked curiously, "Does the ancestor spirit of your tribe have the ability to make you grow taller and stronger?"

"Yes, Chief. The spirits of the ancestors of the Grizzly Tribe have always protected the tribe, allowing the people of the tribe to always have stronger bodies than those of other tribes." The sturdy man answered Perfecto's question and was very respectful to her.

He did not look down on Perfectode just because it had not reached his chest.

"That sounds good. Are you a teacher in this school now? Please show me around." Perfecto gestured to the burly man to lead the way. She wanted to know more about the school.

The sturdy man naturally did not refuse and led Perfect and his group into the school.

"I am responsible for teaching the children how to exercise. These contents are the courses that the children of the Grizzli Tribe used to learn how to become ancestral warriors. I have lowered the difficulty a bit and simplified some of the more dangerous parts." The strong man led Perfectot and others to a place that looked like a playground. Pointing at the children who were wiping their naked upper bodies with snow, he said, "Although the effect is relatively discounted and it is difficult for these children to become ancestral warriors, their bodies are very healthy and stronger than ordinary children." Perfectot looked at the children with naked upper bodies, grabbing a handful of snow from the ground and rubbing it on their chests and other parts of their bodies, and frowned slightly.

She had seen this method before. It was a way to strengthen the body, but she had seen it more often on adults. Was it a bit radical to use it on children?

But Perfect didn't deny it rashly. He just asked the strong man beside him: "Are there many sick children in the school? Can they adapt to this kind of training?"

Yes, in Perfecto's opinion this is a form of training.

"In the beginning, there were quite a few cubs who were sick and unable to adapt, but after the tribal shaman gave them some herbs, they got much better. Now basically no one is sick, and everyone's bodies have obviously become stronger." The sturdy man explained to Perfectok.

Hearing the sturdy man say this, Perfect looked over carefully and saw that the children did have bulging muscles and looked much stronger than the average children of that era.

Perfect nodded slightly in response. If the children's health can be ensured, this kind of exercise can indeed make them stronger.

In a harsh environment, being thin is a sin, because the harsh environment itself will form a kind of survival of the fittest, and an unhealthy body 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, which to a certain extent offsets the effect of the environment on the survival of the fittest.

But that doesn't mean humans can't adapt to their environment by becoming stronger and healthier.

Perfect looked at the children and did not bother them rashly. She just signaled 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?" Perfect was suddenly surprised.

The totem pole is a very sacred and important thing for an indigenous tribe, and it can even be said to be the spiritual belief of the entire tribe.

Will there really be no problem if I just leave it here?

"This is the intention of the tribal shaman and the ancestral spirits. The shaman believes that children are the future of the tribe. Letting children live with the ancestral spirits from an early age will help them get closer to the ancestral spirits and receive their blessings." The strong man explained. This is actually one of the traditions of their Grizzly Tribe.

"This really opens my eyes. Your Grizzly Tribe is indeed different." Perfect raised her eyebrows. She really felt that her eyes had been opened.

This also made her think more about the education in schools in the North. After all, the way these indigenous people educate their children can indeed make the children's bodies stronger and more adaptable to the current environment in the North.
