Intro

My Name is Kevin and I am a sophomore at East Stroudsburg University. I am studying Health and Physical Education. I hope to educate children on living healthy in the future. This blog is for my world regional geography class. It is meant to introduce you to a new culture from a different part of the world. I will be talking about the Toda people from Southeast India. They are very interesting, and not a lot of people have heard about them. I hope you enjoy reading!

Migration

The toda people do not migrate. They have always been in the Nilgrili Hills. They do have migrants from all over India. still this number of people is also low. this information was limited. as you can see in my references.

Birds

There is an abundance of birds in South East Asia. The Toda people do not hunt the birds. I could not find any significance that the birds in the area had on the Toda people.

Theses are just two of  over 70 types of birds. With every type there is more specific sub sets too.
