Question: Tulips and Bergenia are native to what part of the world?
Context: Bergenia (elephant-eared saxifrage, elephant's ears) is a genus of ten species of flowering plants in the family Saxifragaceae, native to central Asia, from Afghanistan to China and the Himalayan region. The Rough Guide to Native American Music is a compilation album originally released in 1998.  Part of the World Music Network Rough Guides series, the album features both traditional and modern Native American music ranging from canción ranchera to hardcore rap.  Catherine Steinmann coordinated the project, Andrew Means wrote the liner notes, and Phil Stanton, co-founder of the World Music Network, produced and compiled the album.  2012's "The Rough Guide to Native America" is sometimes considered a second edition to this release. Esther Louise Georgette Deer (  1891 – 1992) was a Native American dancer and singer.  She was of the Mohawk tribe.  She performed under the name Princess White Deer as part of The Famous Deer Brothers, a family stage act, which toured the United States, Europe and South Africa.  She returned to America as the country was preparing to enter World War I, and participated in war bond rallies, where she was noticed by Florenz Ziegfeld, Jr..  She joined his Ziegfeld Follies, and became one of its principal artists.  She also lobbied to have the rights of Native Americans recognized in America. Although Native Americans in the United States have resided in what is now Iowa for 13,000 years, the written history of Iowa begins with the proto-historic accounts of Native Americans by explorers such as Marquette and Joliet in the 1680s.  Until the early 19th century Iowa was occupied exclusively by Indians and a few European traders, with loose political control by France and Spain.  Iowa became part of the United States of America after the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, but uncontested U.S. control over what is now Iowa occurred only after the War of 1812 and after a series of treaties eliminated Indian claims on the state.  Beginning in the 1830s Euro-American settlements appeared in the Iowa Territory, U.S. statehood was acquired in 1846, and by 1860 almost the entire state was settled and farmed by Euro-Americans.  Subsistence frontier farming was replaced by commodity farming after the construction of railroad networks in the 1850s and 1860s.  Iowa contributed a disproportionate amount of young men to fight in the American Civil War.  Afterwards they returned to help transform Iowa into an agricultural powerhouse, supplying food to the rest of the nation.  The industrialization of agriculture and the emergence of centralized commodities markets in the late 19th and 20th centuries led to a shift towards larger farms and the decline of the small family farm; this was exacerbated during the Great Depression.  Industrial production became a larger part of the economy during World War II and the postwar economic boom.  In the 1970s and 1980s a series of economic shocks, including the oil crisis, the 1980s farm crisis, and the Early 1980s recession led to the collapse of commodities prices, a decline in rural and state population, and rural flight.  Iowa's economy rebounded in the 1990s, emerging as a modern mixed economy dominated by industry, commerce, and finance, in which agriculture is a comparatively small component.  Iowa's population is now predominately urban and has been increasing since the 1990s at a faster rate than the U.S. as a whole, although rural flight continues to be a problem. Tulips ("Tulipa") form a genus of spring-blooming perennial herbaceous bulbiferous geophytes (having bulbs as storage organs).  The flowers are usually large, showy and brightly coloured, generally red yellow or white.  They often have a different coloured blotch at the base of the tepals (petals), internally.  because of a degree of variability within the populations, and a long history of cultivation, classification has been complex and controversial.  The tulip is a member of the Liliaceae (lily) family, along with 14 other genera, where it is most closely related to "Amana", "Erythronium" and "Gagea" in the tribe Lilieae.  There are about 75 species, and these are divided between four subgenera.  The name "tulip" is thought to be derived from a Persian word for turban, which it may have been thought to resemble.  Tulips originally were found in a band stretching east from Turkey to Central Asia, but since the seventeenth century have become widely naturalised and cultivated ("see map").  In their natural state they are adapted to mountainous areas with temperate climates.  Flowering in the spring, they become dormant in the summer once the flowers and leaves die back, emerging above ground as a shoot from the underground bulb in early spring. Lithuanians (Lithuanian: "lietuviai" , singular "lietuvis/lietuvė") are a Baltic ethnic group, native to Lithuania, where they number around 2,561,300 people.  Another million or more make up the Lithuanian diaspora, largely found in countries such as the United States, Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Colombia, Russia, United Kingdom and Ireland.  Their native language is Lithuanian, one of only two surviving members of the Baltic language family.  According to the census conducted in 2001, 83.45% of the population of Lithuania identified themselves as Lithuanians, 6.74% as Poles, 6.31% as Russians, 1.23% as Belarusians, and 2.27% as members of other ethnic groups.  Most Lithuanians belong to the Roman Catholic Church, while the Lietuvininkai who lived in the northern part of East Prussia prior to World War II, were mostly Evangelical Lutherans.

The Mara people are the native inhabitants of Mizoram in India, native to northeastern India, primarily in the Mara Autonomous District Council of the state of Mizoram, where they form the majority of the population.  Significant numbers of Maras are also found living south-eastern part of Burma, in Chin State and Rakhine State which border the district.  They were earlier known as the "Lakher" by outsiders as Lusei called them by that name, and the new name "Mara" was inserted in List of Scheduled Tribes in Mizoram state in 1978 replacing the old name.  The Maras were in early period known to the outside world under different tribal names such as Mara, Lakher, Shendu, Baungshelor Shendoo, Maring, Zyu or Zao/Zho, Tlosai, Khongzai, etc.  They constitute a distinct tribal group lying in Saiha district of Mizoram.  Some writers and historians included them as one of the Mizo tribes/clans.  They called themselves "Maras" The "8th Rajputs"' was an infantry battalion of the British Indian Army.  They could trace their origins to 1798 when they were the 1st Battalion, 30th Bengal Native Infantry.  Over the years the regiment became known by a number of different titles.  The 59th Bengal Native Infantry 1824–1861, the 8th Bengal Native Infantry 1861–1897, the 8th (Rajput) Bengal Infantry 1897–1901, the 8th Rajput Infantry 1901–1903 and finally the 8th Rajputs after the Kitchener reforms of the Indian Army.
