Indigenous people (IPs) are the descendants of the inhabitants of a country or region. This study examines whether an indigenous group, specifically an Aeta community in Pampanga, undergoes Urbanization or not. Migration has been a part of the Aeta's history since the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo, which forced them to move out from their original lands. Despite the Urbanization of the community, their culture and way of living remained the same and didn't change. The Aetas pass it on to their next generation, and due to this, they suffer from discrimination because of their way of living.  To gather the needed data, the researchers reviewed various literature and studies to have an idea of how to construct the survey question based on LSMS and DHS. The study was conducted in Barangay Sapang Uwak, Sitio Pidpid, Porac, Pampanga, a home of an Aeta community. By looking at the field site, it shows that development and accessibility of urban amenities are difficult for them since it was evident to the researchers that education and some necessities are insufficient.

This chapter on “Where There Is No Formal Social Welfare System for an Indigenous People: Entrepreneurship, Watchmen, and the Reinvention of the Maasai Warrior” addresses the transformation of the Maasai moranism (warrior society). As a marginalized indigenous group, the Maasai have not benefitted from any important social welfare or safety net programs. The chapter interrogates the evolution of an entrepreneurial spirit among young Maasai men who have joined the ranks of the massive informal sector to become watchmen (security guards) in cities and small townships in both Kenya and Tanzania. The chapter draws from ethnographic narratives about the “fierceness” of the Maasai in global capitalist expansion and their economic marginalization. The overriding question is: In what ways is the proliferation of the phenomenon of Maasai watchmen a reaction to the community’s marginalization?

Indigenous Land

Current contestations over land as a public or private good revolve around the issue of who owns, controls and manages it. Particularly, after the second April uprising of 2006, indigenous people, have emerged as a new actor in land policy demanding equitable rights for state’s power and resources. However, these claims have been countered by non-indigenous people. The disagreements are strong and the institutional bargaining for a share in land ownership has been tough. Currently, the Ministry of Land Reform and Management is in the process of drafting the National Land Policy. While this draft land policy has addressed the issues of the indigenous people to some extent, the larger approach has been piecemeal and short sighted. If we were to look for a long-term solution, it would be essential to think about major concerns of the marginalized and indigenous group and develop a coherent strategy to address their demand. This paper tries to study and analyze the multiple contestations over land in context of the emergence of indigenous group as an important stakeholder and makes an attempt to come up with a policy option that is rational and far-sighted addressing the multiple intra-group claims.

Introduction: Lyme disease has been well-described in the North America and European countries. However, information is still very limited in the developing countries including Malaysia. The Orang Asli (OA), the indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia reside mostly in the forest and forest fringe areas abundant with the vector for Lyme disease. Here, we described the seroprevalence of Borellia burgdorferi (B. burgdorferi) among the OA and demographic variables that could be associated with seroprevalence. Methodology: A total of 16 OA villages distributed across 8 states in Peninsular Malaysia participated in this study. Sera obtained from 904 OA volunteers were screened for anti-B. burgdorferi IgG antibodies. ELISA results obtained and demographic information collected were analysed to identify possible variables associated with seroprevalence. Results: A total of 73 (8.1%) OA tested positive for anti-B. burgdorferi IgG antibodies. Among all the variables examined, village of residence (p = 0.045) was the only significant predictor for seropositivity. High (> 10.0%) prevalence was associated with three OA villages. Those living in one particular village were 1.65 times more likely to be seropositive as compared to other OA villages. Age, gender, marital status, household size, level of education, monthly household income and occupation were not significant predictors for seropositivity. Conclusion: Results of the present study support earlier findings that B. burgdorferi infection among Malaysians is currently under-recognized. Further studies will be needed at these locations to confirm the presence of Lyme disease among these populations.

Objective: Why do people justify intergroup violence? In this paper we examine attitudes towards violence perpetrated by indigenous activists to claim for rights and violence by pólice officers against indigenous people. We assess the role that perceived pólice legitimacy, procedurally just policing towards the indigenous minority group and group identity play in the justification of intergroup violence. Method: We present findings from two surveys (Study 1, n=1493, Study 2, n=198) and an experiment (Study 3, n=76) conducted among indigenous people in Chile. Studies 1 and 2 measure perceptions of police procedural justice towards indigenous people. Study 3 manipulates the fairness with which police officers treat indigenous people. Effects of procedural justice on police legitimacy (Studies 2 and 3) and attitudes towards violence for social change and social control (Studies 1-3) are analyzed. Result: Higher perceptions of procedurally just policing towards indigenous people predict more support for police violence and less support for violence perpetrated by indigenous activists. These effects are mediated by perceived police legitimacy and moderated by identification with the minority group. Among people who identify strongly with their indigenous group, perceiving high procedural justice predicts greater police legitimacy, greater support for police violence, and lesser support for violence perpetrated by indigenous activists. Conclusions: Findings contribute to an emerging literature on the roles of procedural justice and legitimacy in violence perceptions. Fair, respectful and neutral treatment of pólice officers may reduce the support for violence among minority group members and increase trust in the violence used by police officers.

The Voice

The relation between indigenous people and development agencies is much discussed in anthropology ( Bicker et al., 2004 ; Pottier et al., 2003 ; Sillitoe et al., 2002 ). This relation is more often than not, one of conflict. A conflict that builds from distrust by the people on the development agent and disrespect from the latter on the former. The research on which this article is based addresses this conflict by recording the voice of the Konda Reddis, an indigenous group, through video for development communication. The video recorded peoples’ responses periodically to the key question, ‘is life in the hills or in the resettlement colony better, and why?’ Playing back these videos to the different respondents, including officials responsible for the development programme, in between responses was attempted to help them reflect on what they had said earlier in relation to what others had said, allowing room for them to reflect and respond again. The camera and video recording became the medium of real space and time, bringing the Konda Reddis, development agents and the anthropologist in conversation with each other.

Small Band

The Wanapum are a small band of indigenous people who live on the west bank of the Columbia River alongside the tailrace of Priest Rapids Dam. Most of the residents are collateral descendants of Smowhala, the acclaimed prophet who founded the Washat religion. Smowhala was invited to Fort Stevens in 1855 to attend treaty making discussions, but he did not participate. He insisted that his people were never at war with anyone. He also noted that it would not be possible for him to discuss giving or receiving land that did not belong to him. All of the land his people used and traversed was a gift from the creator, they were only borrowing it, as it belonged to the next generation, and those that would follow from them. Smowhala asked that he and his followers be left alone to practice their religion.

Resumo Este projeto de pesquisa visa realizar uma composição mural real e ou virtual como experiência estética coletiva com os índios Kaingang de Palmas (PR). A produção de conhecimento científico é colocada em questão no sentido de rever as formas pelas quais o mundo ocidental, branco e europeu, representou e representa o outro/Outro igual a mim e diferente de mim. Questiona-se a maneira pela qual a experiência estética (Dewey, 1980; Gadamer, 1999; Heidegger, 2000) pode influenciar o sentido e a produção de “representação” ou “apresentação” artística dessa etnia indígena no mural produzido pelos próprios Kaingang. A partir da metodologia de produção partilhada do conhecimento (Bairon, Lazaneo, 2012; Bairon, Batistella, Lazaneo, 2017; Lazaneo, 2012) os indígenas não se diferenciam como objetos de pesquisa, mas sim como sujeitos de pesquisa. Essa integração parte de uma concepção pós-humana de inclusivismo situado (Ferrando, 2013; Braidotti, 2013), em relação às mudanças simbólicas culturais, nas quais, o coletivo e o singular possam ser incluídos, sem perdas culturais.Palavras-chave: Mural. Experiência Estética. Produção partilhada do conhecimento. Pós-humanismo.AbstractThe aim of this project is to create a real and/or virtual mural composition as a collective aesthetic experience with the Kaingang indigenous group from Palmas (PR). The production of scientific knowledge is put into question in a sense of reviewing the forms in which the Western, white and European world represented and represents the other/Other equal to me and different than me. The form the aesthetic experience (Dewey, 1980; Gadamer, 1999; Heidegger, 2000) can influence the meaning and the production of artistic "representation" or "presentation" of the indigenous ethnicity on the mural made by the Kaingang themselves is examined. From the production methodology shared by knowledge (Bairon, Lazaneo, 2012; Bairon, Batistella, Lazaneo, 2017; Lazaneo, 2012), the indigenous people do not distinguish themselves as research objects, but as research subjects. Such integration is made under the post-human idea of situated inclusivism (Ferrando, 2013; Braidotti, 2013), related to the symbolic cultural changes in which the collective and individual dimensions can be combined without cultural losses.Key-words: Mural. Aesthetic Experience. Shared production of knowledge. Post-humanism.
