Shilhan Cultural Survival
 |
| Moroccan Flag www.mapsofworld.com |
The Shilha are a very proud people, who live in
seclusion from the rest of the world. Their survival rests on the success of
each individual village. Very little interaction occurs between villages. The
staple of their society is their herding. If they are unable to keep their
animals alive by finding water and food for them to eat they have no way to
make a living. Unlike our culture which depends on education and knowledge,
they rely more on family and religion. Islam and each village’s cultural
beliefs are the focal point of their society.
The greater Moroccan government
does not persecute or have any other altercations with the Shilhan people. They
live peaceful lives away from the rest of organized society. Their biggest
obstacle is their environment. They live in a very barren region with little to
no resources that can contribute to their survival. They rely heavily on the
availability of water for themselves and their animals.
