The forces of globalization have had dramatic consequences for indigenous societies. In most cases, forces of globalization have resulted in depopulation, epidemic diseases, increased warfare, loss of political autonomy, and loss of control over their future. Still, in many cases indigenous people have attempted to resist total acculturation. For example, the Trobriand Islanders blended their traditional dance competitions with cricket introduced by missionaries to "civilize them" to create a new, Trobriand Islander version of cricket. This is an example of

genocide

syncretism

revitalization

ethnocide
