I agree with /u/keyilan that its not too late to go back to school in your 30s. I started my PhD at 33. I have a friend who started her MA (and is now in a PhD program) in her 50s. That being said, if you have a stable job you're happy with and want to avoid going into debt, and if you're not completely and totally sure you want to pursue a degree in anthropology, then it's probably better to be an autodidact.

Anyway, here's some suggestions for some stuff on sociocultural anthropology methodology (and historical descriptions of such things) that may be of interest to you.

Research Methods in Anthropology: Qualitative and Quantitative Approaches by H. Russel Bernard (he is the methods guy in sociocultural anthro--and this book is rather dry but super detailed and will teach you all the basics of anthro methodology.)

Decolonizing Methodologies: Research and Indigenous Peoples by Linda Tuhiwai Smith (a classic text in indigenous methods.)

Participant Observation and The Ethnographic Interview by James Spradley

Fieldwork Is Not What It Used To Be edited by James Faubion and George Marcus (I have not read this, but have heard good things about it.)

Before Boas: The Genesis of Ethnography and Ethnology in the German Enlightenment by Han Vermeulen (this is a history of ethnographic methods rather than a book about methodology, but it's super interesting.)

Because opiates are addictive and rake in a shit tonne of money. Entheogens/hallucinogens/psychadelics are non-addictive and help cure people of addictions and of pain, physical or trauma-based

Also, psychadelic medicines are prevalent across many, many cultures for shamanism and healing work. They are hella illegal in the States due in part to how useful they are to Indigenous cultures. Remember, we are in apartheid right now in the US, Canada, Australia,...

You'll only make them rebel. You should shit on white people eg Western imperialism, current rapes, murders, fucked up hapa kids., actual history of "Christians" like http://www.amazon.com/Pagans-Promised-Land-Christian-Discovery/dp/1555916422/ Just telling them no white boys makes you seem like a racist control freak. Best to feed them the info and let them "decide" for themselves. Eg Asian guys have small dicks, they're rapists, they oppress, foot bind, white guys are so great --> "preferences"

really? seems to work fine for you guys

Don't forget your latest adventure in the middle east.

"Shadowsweep, you're fucking crazy. What do you mean mind control?
First, some proof. Do you admire Winston Churchill and British pursuit of "free trade" with China? You do? Did you know?.... http://i.imgur.com/Wfjq2ty.jpg

How does mind control work?
Here's an explanation by Frank Chin (https://www.sendspace.com/file/rcc58h) or you can read the stuf below...
The model is simple.
● cherry pick, exaggerate, make up all the good whites do. hide the bad. eg Christians built all these hospitals and schools. ignore http://www.amazon.com/Pagans-Promised-Land-Christian-Discovery/dp/1555916422/
● cherry pick, exaggerate, make up all the bad non-whites do. hide the good. eg Tibetan genocide that never occurred. ignore http://english.cntv.cn/2014/10/18/VIDE1413584528072923.shtml

It starts when you're young...http://i.imgur.com/nVH6lQE.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/fV7PBJL.jpg

But why? Why do they hate themslves? Why do they pull up negative stories? Here are some for those who are Chinese....http://i.imgur.com/6GgL2fo.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/3r13sl5.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/7IKlQVU.jpg and http://i.imgur.com/pDDIOMf.jpg

In dating/love, they use lies like oppressive, misogynistic, tiny penises, rapey, super violent, but also nerdy and girly, etc

Why do they also worship whites? You're told about "Western values" like human rights, freedom, democracy, "all men are created equal". Well, how do you explain this?...http://i.imgur.com/UaORZPs.jpg

In dating/love, they use lies like egalitarian, bigger penises, less rapey, less violent, etc

Bottom line is: All your attacks should leave whites fearing for their life, fearing that their sick rape of the mind will be exposed, and their crimes brought to light. That's the litmus test. Do your actions directly harm the cause? (white racist control)."


----------------------------------------------

I'm saying Asian women are WEAK to not be able to break free. People who cannot break free are usually LOST CAUSES. And MOST OF THE ASIAN WOMEN ARE LIKE THIS. And a lot of them even KNOW they are racist, which is why they are WILLING COLLABORATORS.

They are not just mind-controlled drones. Looking at stupid bitches like Jen Ang or whatever who said "never date an Asian man", she fully recognizes her own racism.
You will be surprised HOW MANY Asian women are fully COGNIZANT of their racism and they WANT to BREED OUT THE ASIAN and BECOME WHITE, by having HALF WHITE CHILDREN. who they HOPE to go on to marry more whites and eventually are absorbed. Too bad a lot of their sons turn out Asian looking.

Why the fuck you think so many Asian women go through insane crazy jaw and nose and eye surgeries, those that have very flat faces or flat noses or tiny eyes? They HATE their own features because they DECIDED that white is superior. One part brainwashing OTHER PART DECISION.

This is same tactic goblins used to convince Native American women to self genocide. One part brainwashing other part WILLING COLLABORATOR.

It is a CHOICE. Brainwashing is only PART OF IT.

If you were a jew in the concentration camp told to gas fellow jews, would you choose to do it or not? Not knowing whether the promises about sparing you are true or not. There is the REAL test of willpower and MORALS. This is the CHOICE that shows where ones' loyalty lies and how good of a heart they have.

Interesting viewpoint from a Native American perspective

I took a course on Native American art two semesters ago. My professor was fantastic. These were two were required readings.

Here is the mobile version of your link

I attended a second this morning and it's first lecture last Sunday morning at St. Francis of the Foothills in Tucson presented by University of Arizona, College of Law Professor Melissa Tatum on Native American Rights and Lands. The "free exercise of religion" for Native Americans is quite complex. Dr. Tatum and Dr. Shaw recently published "Law, Culture and the Environment" which provided several relevant case studies. See https://www.amazon.com/Law-Culture-Environment-Melissa-Tatum/dp/1594607524/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1488141959&sr=8-1&keywords=Law+culture+and+the+environment
