There are many ways that indigenous peoples resisted globalization and cultureal change through religion. One of the ways could be syncretism because under syncretism, a culture absorbs the attributes of another societiesy or culture, and does not remove therem. The Haitians, the Hmong, and the Ojibwa show the different levels of globalization and cultural interactions.
They resisted cultureal change through religion because they did not change their religion for a long time. For example, the primary religion of the Haitians was Vondon, Animistic religion of the Hmong, and a very individualistic type of religion that focus on spiritual progression by the Ojibwa’s people. Their religion slightly changes after the globalization because some Haitians were converted into Catholicism, and some Hmong were converted into Christianity. However, the Ojibwa’s religion and their faith were the same as before globalization.
Mostly the Haitians people mostly live around thea Caribbean island, and outsiders influenced their culture. The Hmong were viewed as barbaric, and were found in areas such as southern China, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. Similarly like the Haitians and Hmong, the Ojibwa were naïve American group found in mid-west of the United States, and the south central of Canada. The Haitians were considered as a slaves and were revitalized only after African slaves arrive. The Hmong’s people's main profession is farming, and they use to farm rice, crops, vegetables and fruits. The Ojibwa people were mainly dependent on European trade.
Marriages in the three cultures are very different. In the Haitians culture, marriage is almost similar to modern American marriage, common-law marriage. The Hmong can marry within their blood relation from another clan. In the Ojibwa culture, marriage is mostly arranged and the older members of the family have to be approved after a vision quest.
