View the video with an anthropology view and answer the below questions.

Reference the readings from Durrenberger and Erem, specifically: Paradigms for Anthropology (ISBN 978-0-19-994589-4)

? What is the tourists? view of the locals? What is the locals view of the tourists?

? What do the dance spirit houses, and the carved figures and masks that the locals produce mean to the locals. What do they mean to the tourists?

? The tourists reference the ?goods and services? that the locals bring to the ?market? through their Market economy lenses; cite examples of this.

? Many of the locals continue to reference their economic interactions with the tourists through their traditional Reciprocal economy lenses; cite examples. Why are

the tourists able to get away with paying only ?Second price? or even ?Third price? when the locals can?t do that when they shop the stores in Angorum?

? One could easily assume that the tour operators probably do not share with the locals any ?cut of the action? from their hefty ?take? from the tourists. Why is this

so easy to assume?

? There is a brief little scene with the Italian group in the motorboat, when suddenly the alarm goes off and the motor conks out. Initially, everyone makes jokes, but

fairly quickly, everyone on the boat become very quiet, and appear to be very concerned. What might an anthropologist say has just happened?

? Finally, in titling this piece ?Cannibal Tours?, O?Rourke very well may have had an ironic meaning in mind. What could that irony be?
