About This Lesson
In this lesson, students view a photo essay and learn about the effects of relocation and modern technology on the traditional lifestyle of Tibetan nomads. In this photo essay, "Drokpa: the Nomadic Mountain People of Tibet," Diane Barker documents scenes from Tibet's high altitude grasslands from the years 2000 to 2015. Earlier photographs portray the wild beauty of Tibet and the natural spirituality of the nomadic people, while later photographs reveal the effects of relocation and modern technology on the nomads' traditional lifestyle.
