Abstract
The article reflects on the crisis occurring today globally by the impact of the environmental changes caused by immense deforestation as these vast advances impinge on the lands located where the indigenous children live and learn. Adapting to new environmental changes in their ancestral forest and, for many, being removed from their home, Orang Rimba children and their families, inhabited the rainforest of Southern Sumatera, are faced with new ways of living and are being approached by a number of outside groups and targeted as subject for new “educational project.” This study describes the nature of this new “educational project”—its emergence, curriculum, practices, and mechanism of marginalizing and educating the indigenous communities—in its process of creating, perhaps, a new educated indigenous subject. The article also discusses the meaning of relocation reflecting the case of the relocation of Orang Rimba to new sedentary living areas as a new settlement village to thinking and imagining about education.
