Welcome!, This is blog specially dedicated to current, new, and old alumni and staff from Dubai American Academy. Now you might be asking why you shouldn't close this page right now. Well for one; Facebook is getting boring, and frankly sometimes if 50 people ask me "how are you?/how you been/how's life?" I get bored and annoyed typing, copying/pasting the same thing in every wall/inbox. Secondly, I figure this could be a place to see how those people you (used to) see-walking-in-the-hallway-pass-you-everyday-but-never-say-a-word-and-know-nothing-about-you are doing in life. Or if you simply want to share IB- Tips and cheats, funny stories, quotes, photos, videos, memories, current events and happenings, this would be the place to do it. At least... that's the idea...

Ancient tribe becomes extinct as last member dies

New Delhi, India (CNN) — The last member of an ancient tribe that has inhabited an Indian island chain for around 65,000 years has died, a group that campaigns for the protection of indigenous peoples has said.

Boa Sr, who was around 85 years of age, died last week in the Andaman islands, about 750 miles off India’s eastern coast, Survival International said in a statement.

The London-based group, which works to protect indigenous peoples, said she was the last member of one of ten distinct Great Andamanese tribes, the Bo.

“The Bo are thought to have lived in the Andaman islands for as long as 65,000 years, making them the descendants of one of the oldest human cultures on earth,” it noted.

With her passing at a hospital, India also lost one of its most endangered languages, also called Bo, linguists say.
