Nomad

''The video game console is called the Sega Nomad.'' Communities of nomadic people move from place to place, rather than settling down in one location. Many cultures have been traditionally nomadic, but nomadic behaviour is increasingly rare in industrialised countries. Typically there are two kinds of nomad, pastoralism and peripatetic nomads. Pastoralists raise herds and move with them so as not to deplete pasture beyond recovery in any one area. Peripatetic nomads are more common in industrialised nations travelling from place to place offering a trade wherever they go. ==Nomadic people in industrialized nations== * Roma and Sinti ** Kalderash ** Gitano (AKA Cale) ** Manush (AKA Sinti) ** Romnichal * Irish Travellers ==Modern nomads in industrialized nations== * Freetekno soundsystem * RV Lifestyle ==Indigenous nomadic peoples== * Ababdeh * Bakhtiari of Iran * Bedouins * Innu * Tuaregs * Somalis (certain clans) ==Historic nomadic peoples== * Avars * Khazars * Moors * Mongols * Wu Hu ==See also== Homelessness Anthropology

Nomad

Nomadic people or nomads are people who move from place to place, rather than settling down in one place. Nomadic cultures are common in history, but are becoming rate in industrialised countries. Nomadic people: * Irish Travellers * Roma and Sinti * ''there are lots of other nomadic peoples, perhaps some kind person could add them to this alphabetical list?'' Nomadic peoples from history: * Mongols ---- We need to distinguish between ''nomadic people'' like the Bedouin of the Negev, and groups of travelers who just wander around. Please work on this distinction. --User:Ed Poor Not that I have anything against wanderers. I have a yearning to ditch my city job and be a hobo. There's also a need for information in this encyclopedia distinguishing between "tribes" vs. countries, and clarifying what indigenous people are. The latter article is so mixed up with advocacy that it doesn't seem to say anything intelligble at all. Bedouin and Masai and the Gypsies (Roma) of Europe are nomadic people, near as I can tell from 20 minutes of web surfing. But I'd hesitate to make an article quite yet. What is the difference between a group like the Bodouin or Roma, who wander near or among settled people of established nations -- and subgroupings of people from within a nation or culture who choose to live differently, and forge some sort of distinctive identity? --User:Ed Poor =="Nomad" as the title== ''Nomad'' may seem like a better title for this article, partly because it's shorter. I notice that most of the links to this article are through the nomad redirect page. What would people think of moving it? User:Michael Hardy 22:37, 24 Nov 2004 (UTC)
