Without the Forest: Educational Projects for Indigenous Communities

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.

Nurses' and personal care assistants' role in improving the relocation of older people into nursing homes.

This article presents findings from a study that explored nurses' and personal care assistants' role in improving the relocation of older people into a nursing home. Suggestions for improving the relocation process for older people moving into a nursing home have been the outcomes of studies that have interviewed residents and their families. However, the views of nurses and personal care assistants working in nursing homes have not been previously explored. An exploratory, descriptive qualitative research design. Individual interviews were conducted with 20 care staff (seven registered nurses, five enrolled nurses and eight personal care assistants) employed at four nursing homes. Using thematic analysis, two key themes were identified: 'What it's like for them' - highlighted staffs' awareness of the advantages, disadvantages and meaning of relocation, and focused on staffing and nursing care; other services provided and the environment. The second theme - 'We can make it better', revealed suggestions for improving the relocation process, and included spending time with new residents and the importance of a person-centred approach to care. Care staff have an important role in improving the relocation process of older people into a nursing home, as well as contributing to the discussion on this important clinical topic. Challenging care staff to acknowledge the importance of their role in helping older people settle into a nursing home is a key requirement of nursing practice in aged care. Nursing practice guidelines, with a focus on person-centred care, on how to manage the relocation process for an older person and their family are required for this aspect of nursing home care. Education of staff on relocation policies and procedures is essential to ensure that residents and their families are supported through this process.

Countering Colonization: Albuquerque Laguna Colony

he federal government's relocation program, coupled with its termination policy, attempted to usurp indigenous lands and indigenous cultures. Beginning in the 1950s, relocation and termination provided a way for the government to withdraw legally from its federal trust responsibility and impose a policy of assimilation on indigenous peoples. Terminating trust responsibilities, borders, and Indianness sent a clear message that the federal government intended for American Indians to cease to exist as cultural and self-determined peoples. The federal government's formula was to get Indians off the reservations and the federal dole-if no one lived on the reservations then there would not be a need for public funds to support social, educam tional, and land management expenditures on those lands. Seeking to : absorb indigenous peoples into mainstream society, the relocation program aimed to send them from reservations to urban areas where they would provide vocational training, a place to live, and a job. As with other policy eras, indigenous people and the federal government had U very different ideas on the meaning of relocation. r 61 No matter the reasons for moving, relocation, with or without the federal relocation program assistance, failed to completely assimi5 late indigenous people into American society. The myriad experiences of those who migrated to the cities and those who stayed on reservations created dynamic relationships between urban life, indigenous identities, and reservation life. Unfortunately, early studies of relocated

The Meaning of Relocation among Elderly Religious Sisters

The meaning of involuntary, intra-institutional relocation (a move in primary living space) was constructed in this qualitative study through semistructured interviews with 12 elderly religious sisters. A thematic analysis of the data elicited from audiotape-recorded interviews was conducted. Overall, themes emerging from the sisters' discussion of the relocation included relocation as preparation for the future (to ensure their care in advancing years) and possibilities and consequences (resulting in improved living conditions together with sacrifice, uprooting, isolation, and distancing). Although relocation was seen as a largely positive event, it also had negative meaning for the subjects.
