Dayak Meratus is one of the tribes in Indonesia consisting about 633 ethnic groups in total. The Dayak Meratus tribe represents the majority of the tribe in Indonesia which tends to be isolated, has a low formal education, and lacks of public facilities. This research was aimed at describing the economic rationalities of Tribe Dayak Meratus, a Loksado Indigenous in the Regency of Hulu Sungai Selatan, Borneo Island in term of redenomination perspective. This research is important since redenomination has potential to create hyperinflation if it was not implemented properly, especially related to the inland community in Indonesia which is more than 13,000 islands. The data collecting applied focus group discussion which involved the chair and member of the Tribe, also survey as the data triangulation of method. This research applied explanation building and frequency distribution for the data analysis. The results show that the Loksado Indigenous has a  marginal economy and formal education,but the Tribe has high social capital for its gotong royong (mutual cooperation) spirit and has sufficiently good financial literacy that forms good economic rationalities. In the term of redenomination, the economic rationalities would be essential to maintain so that economic crashes would not be occured. Redenomination for indigenous people would be considered the same as the change in currency that has occurred several times in Indonesia, in wchich the socialization was through conventional media.

Background and Purpose: Disturbances that hinder community development affect social capital. I refer to such disturbances as social cancer. This article aims at explaining the existence of social cancers, their typologies, and implications for Sea Indigenous People’s community development through economic activities.   Methodology: This exploratory case study involved 12 Sea Indigenous People in Johor, Malaysia. Data obtained through interviews were analysed using a thematic approach.   Findings: The findings revealed four types of social cancer in the community’s economic activities: 1) jealousy, 2) prejudice, 3) slander, and 4) defamation. Those social cancers had direct impacts on community development, specifically forming sabotage actions, negligence in using community capital, reducing community cohesiveness, causing a decline in the production of social innovation, and the existence of a hanging community and the death of the community.   Contributions: This study calls for a self-realisation mechanism to be introduced to community members so that their capacity for social capital can be developed to overcome the social cancer. Keywords: Community development, self-realisation mechanism, social cancer, social capital.   Cite as: Amir Zal, W. A.

As we know, that Sirnaresmi Village is one of the traditional villages of Banten Kidul has a history a Sunda community. Indigenous peoples have the wisdom of Sirnaresmi Village with respect to forest management to preserve nature and their traditional advice that requires every family has leuit (granary). This study will focus on the understanding of social capital Sirnaresmi Village in disaster management based on local wisdom which has been run by the local community. This research used the qualitative approach with case studies method to look at how the planting concept of social capital based on local wisdom to every community as a form of public education in disaster mitigation. The results of this study indicate that the education of local wisdom in Sirnaresmi Village emphasize their forest management which divides it into several categories, namely, leuweung kolot, leuweung titipan, and leuweung sampalan which became a major element in the concept of local knowledge into social capital of trust and local customs that must be run. In addition, the close fraternal values of indigenous people considered as social capital in the form of a social network are not only the community but the entire Sirnaresmi Village only indigenous people of Banten Kidul.   Beberapa waktu lalu, bencana alam longsor terjadi di kawasan masyarakat adat Sukabumi yang tidak hanya menimbulkan kerugian material tetapi immaterial. Seperti kita ketahui, bahwa Desa Sirnaresmi merupakan salah satu desa adat Banten Kidul yang memiliki nilai sejarah berdirinya tanah Sunda. Masyarakat adat Desa Sirnaresmi memiliki kearifan lokal berkenaan dengan pengelolaan hutan untuk menjaga kelestarian alam dan adanya petuah adat yang mengharuskan setiap keluarga memiliki leuit (lumbung padi). Penelitian ini akan difokuskan kepada pemahaman modal sosial masyarakat Desa Sirnaresmi dalam melakukan mitigasi bencana didasarkan pada kearifan lokal yang sudah dijalankan oleh masyarakat setempat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan kualitatif dengan metode studi kasus untuk melihat bagaimana penanaman konsep modal sosial berbasis kearifan lokal kepada setiap masyarakat sebagai bentuk edukasi masyarakat dalam mitigasi bencana. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa edukasi kearifan lokal di Desa Sirnaresmi lebih menekankan adanya pengelolaan hutan yang membagi menjadi beberapa kategori yaitu, leuweung kolot, leuweung titipan, dan leuweung sampalan yang menjadi elemen utama dalam konsep kearifan lokal yang menjadi modal sosial berupa kepercayaan dan norma setempat yang wajib dijalankan. Selain itu, eratnya nilai persaudaraan masyarakat adat dianggap sebagai modal sosial berupa jaringan sosial tidak hanya masyarakat Desa Sirnaresmi saja tetapi seluruh masyarakat adat Banten Kidul.

Abstract Purpose: In this article, we describe the existing literacy research with school-age children who are indigenous. The lack of data for this group of children requires speech-language pathologists (SLPs) to use expert opinion from indigenous and non-indigenous people to develop culturally sensitive methods for fostering literacy skills. Method: We describe two available curricula developed by indigenous people that are available, which use authentic materials and embed indigenous stories into the learning environment: The Indian Reading Series and the Northwest Native American Reading Curriculum. We also discuss the importance of using cooperative learning, multisensory instruction, and increased holistic emphasis to create a more culturally sensitive implementation of services. We provide an example of a literacy-based language facilitation that was developed for an indigenous tribe in Kansas. Conclusion: SLPs can provide services to indigenous children that foster literacy skills through storytelling using authentic materials as well as activities and methods that are consistent with the client's values and beliefs.

Suicide Behavior

Background: There has been increasing attention over the last decade on the issue of indigenous youth suicide. A number of studies have documented the high prevalence of suicide behavior and mortality in Australia and internationally. However, no studies have focused on documenting the correlates of suicide behavior for indigenous youth in Australia. Aims: To examine the prevalence of suicide ideation and attempt and the associated factors for a community 1 The term ”community” refers specifically to Koori people affiliated with the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service. cohort of Koori 2 The term ”Koori” refers to indigenous people from the south-eastern region of Australia, including Melbourne. The term ”Aboriginal” has been used when referring to indigenous people from Australia. The term ”indigenous” has been used throughout this article when referring to the first people of a nation within an international context. (Aboriginal) youth. Method: Data were obtained from the Victorian Aboriginal Health Service (VAHS) Young People’s Project (YPP), a community initiated cross-sectional data set. In 1997/1998, self-reported data were collected for 172 Koori youth aged 12–26 years living in Melbourne, Australia. The data were analyzed to assess the prevalence of current suicide ideation and lifetime suicide attempt. Principal components analysis (PCA) was used to identify closely associated social, emotional, behavioral, and cultural variables at baseline and Cox regression modeling was then used to identify associations between PCA components and suicide ideation and attempt. Results: Ideation and attempt were reported at 23.3% and 24.4%, respectively. PCA yielded five components: (1) emotional distress, (2) social distress A, (3) social distress B, (4) cultural connection, (5) behavioral. All were positively and independently associated with suicide ideation and attempt, while cultural connection showed a negative association. Conclusions: Suicide ideation and attempt were common in this cross-section of indigenous youth with an unfavorable profile for the emotional, social, cultural, and behavioral factors.
