The Mingo were a highly developed culture and though displaced by Europeans, they have retained many of their customs and beliefs. This Native American tribe continues to show many aspects of its ancestry through daily practices and its religious and social structures even with European influence and displacement to reservations.

First and foremost, I greatly appreciated the third group’s effort in presenting the topic of Scientific Development in Ming Dynasty. The topic itself was dynamically unique, evolving around the scientists and intellects, which were often overlooked by the significance of Imperial authorities in describing Ming Dynasty.
