This essay explores the synergies between ecowomanism and Bön, a spiritual tradition that is indigenous to Tibet. It develops the concept of "ecospirituality," a nature-inspired spiritual way of knowing and living, arguing that ecowomanism and Bön gravitate toward each other for their shared ecospiritual sensibility. This sensibility has the potential to generate and sustain possibilities for social and environment wellbeing. An examination of the ecospiritual synergies between ecowomanism and Bön can inspire new ways of knowing and help create constructive methods of making positive changes at individual, social, and environmental levels.

Alaska is frequently at the center of national and international climate change discussions. It is the only U.S. state that lies partially in the Arctic, where so much global climate change has been recorded. It is the only state with indigenous people who live in the Arctic and who harvest fish and game from Arctic waters and lands. It is the only state with thousands of square miles of permafrost—permanently frozen dirt mixed with ice under the ground cover that on the arctic coastal plain can extend 2,000 feet below the surface.

How place is conceptualized impacts the way everyday moments and relationships unfold. This paper explores possibilities for shifting our practices by engaging with an ethic of doing. Drawing on ecofeminist, nomadic, and Indigenous perspectives, we aim to open up space for more accountable, political practices that acknowledge the diverse realities of the children and youth we work with. We present vignettes from our practices to illustrate possibilities for (re)conceptualizing the deeply embedded, normative colonial assumptions in the places we work, and introduce political, contextual, and messy ways of doing in place.

In one of the first in-depth accounts of a society long rendered virtually inaccessible by war and political closure, Philip Taylor explores how the southern region of Vietnam was integrated politically and conceptually into the unified nation. Showing the ways in which modernity has been adapted as an indigenous identity in Vietnam, he traces the recent volatile path of such self-identification." "A case study of the diversity of ways in which social, political and economic change is interpreted locally, Fragments of the Present is an important guide to the challenges to global integration faced by the world's remaining Communist states."--BOOK JACKET.

More recent developments in Canada's Yukon Territory draw attention to how political changes have potential for accelerating practices in education that are responsive to Indigenous Peoples' cultural knowledge systems and practices. In this study, through the use of case study methodology, an account of the changes that have occurred in one First Nation are presented. Further, the study seeks to identify the processes influencing the change and the influences of these changes on teachers' teaching and students' learning. Finally, tensions at the classroom, school and community level arising from these changes and anticipated changes are described.

AbstractThis article examines the influence of Orientalism on Singaporean historiography, specifically on textbook representations of the indigenous Malay population and the implications for the wider historical imagination. Central to analysing such Orientalist influence is a critical reflection on changes in the way the minority Malays have been portrayed from pre‐separation to National Education textbook narratives. The article finds that Orientalist portrayals of the Malays that started during colonial times have been sustained through an increasingly Sinocentric national narrative. Common to both colonial and postcolonial history is the reliance on Orientalism as the dominant mode of discourse.

Much of my career has involved the reshaping and transformation of knowledge of language and history shared with me by indigenous people who had made it a life's project to acquire, remember, and pass on this heritage. A consideration of the meaning of these encounters is interwoven with an autobiography of my scholarly formation and research career, the role of generationally shaped good luck in this career, and what it taught me about how speakers in diverse circumstances exploit the structural resources of their languages to protect and advance their interests.

The purpose of this study was to investigate contributions by non‐governmental organizations (NGOs) to social capital and community empowerment that facilitate community development. A multi‐method research approach was conducted, where a number of qualitative data collection methods were employed. Data was collected from two indigenous communities, goldsmith and blacksmith, served by two NGOs—Proshika and Practical Action Bangladesh (PAB). The findings showed that both NGOs played a substantial role in social capital development and community empowerment toward community development. The findings of this study will provide valuable input to the community development field.

The social licence is an instrument that establishes the conditions for community acceptance of an extractive industry project in a locality. It emerges at the interface of debates on corporate social responsibility and indigenous rights in Bolivia. In this article, relations between mining companies and local communities are explored, with a particular focus on the role of participation and firm‐based commitments to local development. The conclusions point to the limits of voluntary firm initiatives in strengthening local sustainable development. A more demanding regulatory instrument is required that may facilitate mutual agreement on the terms by which resources are extracted.

This article compares and contrasts the deliverables of the Australian Reconciliation Barometer and a new methodology, reconciliation process analysis, for measuring progress toward Aboriginal reconciliation. Reconciliation process analysis draws heavily on visioning and backcasting to explore the cumulative impact of the innumerable reconciliatory gestures underway in Australia to highlight where the parties stand in relation to tipping points and shared goals for the future. The joint application of these complementary methodologies will identify not only the trajectory of Australia's reconciliatory project but, more important, the buy‐in of indigenous Australians to an ultimate vision of closure and healing.

This paper focuses on the development of Medical Anthropology in Guatemala, from its inception to the valuable contributions made by American anthropologists and the first attempts to classify the illnesses of the indigenous peoples of Guatemala.

It ends with an outline of the different tendencies that
have emerged in Guatemala since the latest significant developments.
