Abstract:
Cultural ecosystem service has been a raising field since 2010. While interdisciplinary research teams investigate cultural ecosystem services via humanity lenses, most CES studies focus on mono-cultural settings. The study compares the Taiwanese Han-culture waterfront recreational patterns to the Ames tribal aqua-cultural habitat patterns. It suggests the community participatory mechanisms for re-vision the Danshui River ecosystems. It argues that the river ecosystem could support cross-cultural lifestyles for Ames tribes if the government officials and design-planning professions could alter their approaches of waterfront planning, design, and governance. The research sheds the light on multi-cultural environments in our global world.

Abstract:
Local and indigenous communities play a crucial role in stewardship of biodiversity worldwide. Assessment of resilience in socio-ecological production landscapes and seascapes (SEPLS) is an essential prerequisite for sustainable human–nature interactions in the area. This work examines application of resilience assessment workshops (RAWs) as a biocultural approach to conservation management in Xinshe SEPLS, Hualien County, Taiwan. RAWs were conducted in 2017–2018 in two indigenous communities—Amis Fuxing Dipit Tribe and Kavalan Xinshe Paterongan Tribe—as a part of an ongoing multi-stakeholder platform for the “Forest–River–Village–Sea Ecoagriculture Initiative” (the Initiative). Objectives of the study include (1) performing a baseline landscape resilience assessment in two communities and identifying their common and varying concerns and priorities, and (2) eliciting a community-driven vision for enhancement of the landscape resilience based on adjustments to the action plan of the Initiative. Assessment methodology employs 20 indicators of resilience in SEPLS jointly developed by the United Nations University Institute for the Advanced Study of Sustainability (UNU-IAS) and Biodiversity International; an “Explain–Score–Discuss–Suggest” model is applied. Results show that the communities’ primary issues of concern and adjustments to the action plan are related to biodiversity-based livelihoods, transfer of traditional knowledge, and sustainable use of common resources. The study concludes that this approach has a high potential to help facilitate nature-based solutions for human well-being and biodiversity benefits in Xinshe SEPLS.

Abstract:
In the decades preceding 1948, the Bedouin Amirs of the Fa‘our family, leaders of the Fadil tribe, were dominant figures in the area of the meeting point of the borders of Syria, Lebanon and Palestine. After World War I, two mandatory powers divided control over the Fadil tribe habitat, forcing Amir Fa‘our al-Fa‘our to deal with new and serious problems necessitating new processes of adaptation. These were territorial, as tribal lands were now under different mandates; political, in dealing with conflicting British, French, Syrian, Lebanese, and Zionist goals; and personal, as debt became a decisive factor in decision-making. This article investigates the Fa‘our family sources of power from the end of Ottoman rule and the ways in which new problems were dealt with during mandatory control.

Abstract:
In contemporary India, the arena of identity politics and ‘reservations’ is highly contentious, with groups clamouring for official recognition within the categories of Scheduled Caste, Scheduled Tribe or Other Backward Class. This article sheds new light on the wider processes of inclusion and exclusion among these categories by delineating the contested position of the so-called ‘criminal tribes’ within this framework. Until the 1920s, these criminalized communities were generally positioned as a separate group alongside ‘untouchable’ and ‘tribal’ communities, each of which was considered to have faced particular forms of disadvantage which demanded certain protections and ‘uplift’. Between the 1920s and 1950s, however, this distinct status was withdrawn amid debates over the boundaries, purpose and indeed responsibilities of representation within the evolving framework of group rights. While there was continued recognition of their distinct status in debates over definitions of disadvantage (in terms of a shared history of criminalization), this did not translate into official recognition as a separate category of disadvantaged citizen after independence, thereby complicating these communities’ ability to access the preferential policies inaugurated by the independent constitution in 1950. The article challenges the idea that these political categories are innate or fixed, and simultaneously historicizes the demands of the denotified (ex-‘criminal’) and nomadic tribe movement, which today campaigns for a separate constitutional classification within the ‘reservations’ regime.

Abstract:
Before the founding of the state of Afghanistan in the eighteenth century, the main centers of political and cultural gravity for the Pashtuns lay in India, where numerous Pashtuns migrated in pursuit of commerce and soldiery. Amid the cosmopolitan pressures of India and its alternative models of self-knowledge and affiliation, Pashtun elites elaborated a distinct idiom of “Afghan” identity. With the Afghans' absorption into the Mughal Empire, earlier patterns of accommodation to the Indian environment were overturned through the writing of history, whereby the Afghan past and present were carefully mapped through the organizing principle of genealogy. While the Afghan religious world was being reshaped by the impact of empire, in response, tales of expressly Afghan saints served to tribalize the ties of Islam. With the decline of Mughal power, the collective “Afghan” identity of the diaspora was transmitted to the new Afghan state, where the relationship of this tribal template of Afghan authenticity to the non-Pashtun peoples of Afghanistan remains the defining controversy of national identity.

Abstract:
Indonesia consists of various ethnic groups; the traditions and culture of each are different and have meaning. One of them is the Lulo dance from Southeast Sulawesi, which provides meaning and benefits to its supporters. This study aims to describe the Lulo dance movements’ meaning in the culture of the Tolaki tribe and its use as a traditional communication medium in maintaining harmonious and peaceful relations amid Indonesian society’s situations with so many different. This research used qualitative methods with descriptive analysis. The symbols of dance movements are analyzed with Barthes’s semiotic theory through two stages of signification to get Lulo dance’s meaning. Based on this study’s results, the symbolic messages conveyed in this dance have a meaning that identifies unity, harmony, and mutual respect for differences. The message is packed with movements displayed in dance performance: the hands hold each other, the movements of the hands and feet, and the formation in a circle. Lulo dance, which is also called social dance, can be followed by everyone without exception. Therefore, this dance can strengthen the relationships between every human being. The Lulo dance performance is one of Southeast Sulawesi traditions used to achieve a harmonious and peaceful social life.

Age organization has been the focus of Amis culture study all the time. Following the entrance of nation and influence of capitalism, age organization has become the compare study, from the central study, with other social organization. By observing community life, age organization is not only “seen” in the harvest festival. It’s helpful for understanding Amis culture, if we can figure out age organization’s meaning in different aspects. This essay is studying how age organization continues and transforms in community and religion. By methodizing past bibliography, age organization’s function, in surface, has become the preparation in harvest festival from tribe defense and labor instigation. In fact, we still can see that local people apply the concept of age organization in different aspects when they facing the entrance of new social organization. By analyzing tribe ritual and live ceremony, it shows the age organization was influenced by social transition, and it brings the new culture meaning, too. In the case of women joining age organization, it skips over the regulation of male. By joining the pork-eating occasion, male emale age organizations display the concept of tribe unity. Besides, analyzing the pork-eating from pig-killing not only explains local people’s discrimination in activities, but also performs the idea of social order. Contrasting pork, rice’s raw and ripe illustrates the culture meaning of co-eating and divide-eating.

The age hierarchy, one of Amis Tribe’s traditional social organizations, is the foundation of every public policy and politics activity. It carries not only sacred multi-tasks of the tribe’s safety and the heritage of culture but also has the functions including the society, military, politics, laws, economy, and religion. The tribe’s culture was created in the hierarchy and was passed down through its protection. It played an important role of sustainable development in the tribe. Taitung Madawdaw Tribe, located in the middle of the long eastern coastal line, was the intersection of the early Amis and Malan Amis’ coast line. It has developed a unique social system and has created different Amis’ cultures due to its complicated relationship with other tribes and their interactions. The age hierarchy in Madawdaw tribe has been ruled by Japanese. In 1911, the guns of the tribe were taken away because of the war against the Japanese and the rituals in the tribe were gone. The Japanese punishment toward the tribe and the chief has damaged the age hierarchy development. After second world-war, the tribe’s traditional religions were considered superstition and were abandoned due to the introduction of western religions. The chief of the tribe announced to cancel the male gathering meeting and festivals. At the some time, the land of the tribe’s sanctuary were sold and moved away. The age hierarchy has lost its stage result in an unprecedented impact of the tribe’s culture and social organizations. After the year of 1960, the young men in the tribe have moved to urban areas searching for a job due to the transformation of economy in Taiwan. Thus, the working of the age hierarchy in the tribe became difficult and the organizations became loose and empty. Since 1990, the tribe has stopped the preparation of calling different age people to join the age hierarchy. Thus, the most important foundation of the tribe, the age hierarchy, has gone in the history forever. For over the past few hundred years, the Madawdaw tribe was influenced by the depression of politics, economy, culture structure, and industry, result in the break down of traditional social organization structure, culture, and language. The tribe, therefore, generated the crisis of culture recognition. The most important key of any culture’s remaining or perishing was the tribe’s perseverance and choice except the influence of the outer environment. The culture must be focus on both “sustainable” and “development” in order to adapt to the big change in the environment. This study showed that only by combining the spirit of the age hierarchy and the reality of the tribe’s social scenario, can the youngsters of the tribe understand the importance of passing down the culture and organization. Through transformation and innovation, the spirit of the age hierarchy can adapt to the modern society and remain forever.

This study reconstructed a baseball history in the subjective position of Amis tribe. Theory: Under the paradigm of historical sociology, related theories or concepts should be referred to their collective situation in ethnic development and social change. Study approaches: Equipping with synthetic approaches of discursive analysis and oral history, therefore, this study tries to (re) contextualize aborigines in the nexus of baseball history and aboriginal history. It revealed the subjective experience and body culture of Amis aborigines which embedded in baseball history, moreover, the collective memory and identity in the ethnic history which been contextualized. Conclusion: Amis People’s collective and social memories of baseball were interacted in the very fabric of their daily life and garner its own cultural dynamism. Social network is very important for the tribal members to contact baseball and start their sporting career. Besides, we take collective memory, identity, and social network as theoretical tools to examine and construct the intra-diversity between indigenous baseball practices. In addition, it also discusses how they perceive their own bodies, and the relationship between their body practice and ethnic-identity in baseball. Suggestions: this study suggested a ‘post-national paradigm’ as an alternative access for future studies to reconstruct the historical subject and identity discourse, and then to explore the development style of body culture and identity disposition, last but not least, to avoid reproducing the domination of power and knowledge complex.

Abstract:
This chapter discusses Idi Amin's childhood and background. Amin's connection with the Yakan movement demonstrates how close in time his birth was to the very beginning of British rule over Uganda. His parents would have spent most of their lives in a pre-colonial West Nile, which was only annexed to the Uganda Protectorate in 1914. This was the world into which Idi Amin was born, and the background he came from. He was not only considered inferior as an African in a land dominated by European colonial power, but doubly inferior, as a member of the 'primitive' Kakwa tribe in a country dominated by the Baganda and other southern groups. It is important to look at the history of his ancestral home area and his family's ethnic background, not least because of the role it plays in explanations for his later political motivations and his approach to government. During Amin's rule, both British and southern Ugandan writers tended to explain him in terms of his tribal origins, as Kakwa, Lugbara or Nubi. These West Nile tribes are almost universally portrayed as not only particularly 'primitive' but also intrinsically 'violent'. Frequently, this characterisation includes the allegation that human sacrifice or cannibalism is characteristic of West Nile society.

Abstract:
This introductory chapter provides an overview of Idi Amin Dada, the president of Uganda between 1971 and 1979. More than forty years after his overthrow and eighteen years after his death, he remains a key point of reference in Ugandan culture and politics. Elsewhere in the world, his name has become synonymous with brutal and psychotic African dictatorship. In many of the popular and sensational texts, a racist anthropology relates Amin's atrocities to the supposed traditional ways of the Kakwa tribe; in some of the more academic work, his origins link his actions, through deep historical roots, to aspects of Nile Valley history and the wider North-East African past. Most Ugandans and historians of Uganda agree that his rule, covering eight years in the 1970s, was a crucial period in the collapse of the Ugandan economy and society, though the process worsened after his departure. The chapter then explains that Amin's image as an icon of evil came about because he fits, almost parodically, the long-standing stereotype of African masculinity as intrinsically violent, irrational, autocratic, and dangerous.

This background frames an analysis of the movement of several Jalayir tribal amirs from Mongolia to the Islamic lands as part of the Chinggisid conquests. The purpose here is to illustrate the relationship of the ancestors of the Jalayirid dynasty to the larger Mongol imperial project in the 13th century.
