WOMAN: THE CATALYST FOR SOCIAL EDUCATION AND LOCAL WISDOM OF SAKAI COMMUNITY IN RIAU

This research concerns with the effort of the Sakai tribe in maintaining their local wisdom and social characters from generation to the next generation eventhough there is minimum outside social interaction. This research involved 9 key informants spread across 5 villages in Bengkalis Regency. They explained their lives in the Sakai people's village, how they modeled and educated the generations and communities to build a safe and peaceful life. The research findings confirm that in their daily lives, women interact a lot with children and other fellow women around the house. The socially visible modeling of women's behavior becomes an imitative model by their community. Patience, thoughtfulness, saving, restraint, not talkative, not getting angry often, using the mantra of overcoming minor problems, including demonstrating how they should behave into a social education slowly builds generational character and teach them how to survive in even difficult situations. This research concludes that Sakai women with their diversity have a strong role as a catalyst for social education and local wisdom of the Sakai people

Analysis of Students' Scientific Attitudes in Learning Science in The Campus Teaching Program at SMP Negeri 5 People's Village

Abstract : The aim of this research is to determine the scientific attitude towards science learning in campus teaching programs for class VIII students at SMP Negeri 5 Kampung Rakyat. The research method used in this research is a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The results of this research analysis show that four dominant scientific attitudes are seen in science learning in campus teaching programs, namely a curious attitude such as students having a high sense of curiosity about new things so that students are enthusiastic about asking questions. Indicators of respect for facts like students can appreciate and accept the opinions expressed by teachers and friends. Indicators of attitudes of willingness to change views such as students being able to realize changes to a more reasonable view of the facts. Students can convey the results of the discussion according to existing facts. The final indicator is a critical thinking attitude, such as students doubting the opinions or answers of other friends, students asking about learning they have just learned about, and students being able to express their opinions if there are differences in opinion between what the teacher conveys and the opinions of other discussion groups.

The Intersection of Religion and Pancasila in Dalihan Na Tolu

Humans' characteristics as social beings and God-created creatures are shaped by culture's past.) As long as there is life, culture will never disappear. Genoside occurs when the state commits ethnic massacres, inter-ethnic conflicts, inter-religious conflicts, and so forth. The diverse South Tapanuli community is relatively active, and kinship relationships are highly mobile. Descriptive qualitative research is used in this study. In order to keep the dalihan na tolu community strong and united, some disputes should go through mediation instead of the courts. The authority to control the land over communal land rights belonged to indigenous people in the ulayat lands of the Harahap, Siregar, and other clans, such as the Dalimunthe, Daulay in Angkola. If the land is not used, it will once again be a communal right that is protected by the Angkola Batak indigenous people's village heads and/or customary holders. The act of selling and buying rights causes these activities to become deviant.In order to strengthen indigenous peoples and ulayat lands in the future, cooperation is required. In order to keep the dalihan na tolu community strong and united, some disputes should go through mediation instead of the courts.

이주민 공동체의 정착 공간과 얽히는 시선들 - 광주 고려인마을을 대상으로 -

근래 광주광역시에서 주목받고 있는 이주민 공동체가 있는데, 바로 고려인마을이다. 중앙아시아 고려인들은 2000년대 초반부터 광주에 정착하기 시작했고, 현재 약 3,000명이 광산구 월곡동 지역에 거주하고 있다. 고려인과 한국인 주민들은 이곳을 ‘고려인마을’이라 부른다. 광주 고려인마을이 세간의 주목을 받으면서, 몇 가지 물음들이 따라 붙기 시작했다. 고려인들이 무슨 이유로 한국의 지방 도시 광주에 정착하게 되었으며, 고려인들이 집단 주거지를 형성할 수 있었던 배경은 무엇인가? 그곳에 있었던 한국인 주민들은 어디로 갔으며, 고려인 이주민과 한국인 선주민 사이에 갈등은 없는가? 등이 광주 고려인마을에 따라 붙는 주요 물음들이다. 본 연구는 이러한 질문에 대해 나름의 답을 찾아가는 것으로 구성된다. 더불어 근현대 도시 광주가 확장되는 과정에서 구성된 이주민의 공간인 ‘학강정 갱생지구와 학동’의 사례와 비교해서 현재의 시점에서 광주 고려인마을이 지닌 공간사적 의미를 분석한다.

Presentation of Playing the Stars

This talk reports on a performance of the planetarium event Singing the stars with sculptures, which was performed at the H.R. Macmillan Planetarium in Vancouver and the Seneca College Planetarium in Ontario. Subsequent performances were done at the Art Gallery of Ontario, P.S.1, New York City, the 10th International Sculpture Conference, Toronto, and The National Gallery of Canada. It was reviewed in the Village Voice, Arts Canada, The New Art Examiner, Vanguard Magazine, and CBC Radio: Out of the belly of Vancouver’s H.R. Macmillan Planetarium, the star-making machine rises to the star chamber, carrying three musicians with their instruments, and three sculptures. Atop each sculpture is an overhanging frame of five wooden bars, which acts as a musical score. Lights go down over the planetarium audience. Stars move across the sky. Only the constellations and the luminous bars atop the sculptures are visible. Swept up by the grandeur of the constellations, the musicians look up through the bars atop their sculptures and give a concert playing the stars. The concert is inspired by a story from my book, Singing the Stars. A village of people has lost the power of night, which once resided within them. The people attempt to lure the night back with the help of sculptures, which will enable them to play and sing the stars. They hope that, lured by the music, the night will come close to their faces, and bits of darkness will fall into their ears, eyes and mouths and gradually fill up their bodies with the night sky.

Brief communication: Admixture analysis with forensic microsatellites in Minas Gerais, Brazil: The ongoing evolution of the capital and of an African‐derived community

We report the estimated allele frequencies for 13 and 14 microsatellite loci in two populations of Minas Gerais, Brazil as follows: Belo Horizonte (the capital) and Marinhos (an African-derived community). Analysis of the African, Amerindian, and European genetic contributions to both populations, together with historical information, revealed distinct differences between the two populations. Estimates for Belo Horizonte revealed a higher-European (66%) than African (32%) contribution, and a minimal Amerindian contribution. These results are consistent with the peopling of the city mainly by people from the Minas Gerais hinterland, a people highly admixed but with more European ancestry. Estimates for Marinhos confirmed the high-African component of the population. However, a temporal analysis of two datasets-CURRENT (representing the population living in Marinhos today) and ORIGINAL (representing families, who have lived in Marinhos since the onset of the 20th century),-identified a diminishing of the population's African ancestry from 92% in the ORIGINAL group to 67% in the CURRENT group. This change is here interpreted as a consequence of the growing migration into the village of people with more European ancestry and subsequent admixture with the local population.

Some Aspects of Agricultural Regionalization in Hainan Island, South China

In this article, the author tries to analyze the process of agricultural growth after socialism and recent changes in the agricultural structure of Hainan Island which is situated in the subtropical zone of China from the viewpoint of the farming system, in an attempt to clarify intraregional differences of agricultural landuse on which no previous reports have appeared. The results are summarized as follows:1) Hainan Island experienced rapid growth of agriculture after 1950, under the socialist system. The characteristics of this growth are expansion of arable land and establishment of estate-farms, which are a new type of agricultural organization different from the privatized farm (Old People's Commune), under capital support of the central government. At the same time, the landuse of the whole area also changed remarkably. That is to say, natural rubber, sugarcane and other tropical tree crops increased rapidly while traditional food crops, such as paddy and sweet potato, decreased. Especially, rubber increased to become the most important crop not only in landuse but also in the agricultural economy.2) The agriculture of Hainan can be divided into eight regional types in terms of the farming system. Among these, monoculture of rubber cultivation is the most productive one occupied by estate-farms. In contrast, pure rice-growing, rice with sugarcane, rice with rubber, mixed farming, and horticulture are distinguished in privatized farms and their management scale is small. The gap existing between these two different organizations is very remarkable because of the irrational price policy. For example, the price of rubber per ton is three times as much as world market. That is why the estate-farm can develop so rapidly that Hainan has become the most important rubber cultivation area in China, even if it is marginal land in contrast with Southeast Asia.3) In three case study areas, one of which is an estate-farm and two are privatized villages of Han and Loe people, we can find the rapid changes in landuse and farmers' management after the so-called new policy“Responsibility and Contract System”carried out in the early 1980's. In the case of the estate-farm which developed as a chief rubber producing district after 1957, not only agriculture but also the processing industry play an important role in farm management. Within this estate-farm, more than half the farmers are engaged in tapping of rubber by contract. On the other hand, both of the privatized villages showed that largely a diversified farming-oriented market economy has developed instead of the specialized farming as before, dominated by the main self-sufficient food crops. Especially, in the Loe people's village, slash and burn cultivation, which was the most important farming system until the 1950's, decreased very fast, because fields suitable for burning are cultivated by newer plantations of long-term tree crops, such as natural rubber and crude drugs. However, the difference of management scale among farmers is quite remarkable in each study area. This phenomenon is worthy of notice in connection with arising regionalization as an important factor.

The Tipi Rings of the High Plains

AbstractStone circles known as tipi rings are a common feature of the Northern and Northwestern Plains of western North America. There are several types of stone circles: (1) a single course of stone in a simple circle; (2) more complex circles with several courses of stones; (3) circular walls made of piled-up stones; (4) corrals or forts of horizontal logs and stones; (5) stone circles of unusual size or with lines of rocks inside the circle. Studies of tipi-ring sites in Montana, Wyoming, and adjacent regions are summarized. The clusters of circles are usually found along main routes of travel and near water, fuel, and good hunting areas. Although many of these sites have been mapped, only a few of them have been excavated. Despite the paucity of cultural remains found in the excavations, the tipi-ring clusters are generally considered to be the archaeological remains of camps and villages of people who dwelt in conical, skin-covered lodges. The stones are believed to have been used to hold the skin lodge cover snug against the ground. Historical records, ethnographic observations, and the recollections of present-day Indian informants confirm these interpretations. Data from 136 recently studied tipi-ring sites along a 300-mile pipe-line from Greenriver, Wyoming, to Denver, Colorado, provide further archaeological demonstration of the domestic origin of the tipi rings. Only the very small or very large rings, or those with spokes or lines of rocks through them, such as the so-called medicine wheels, are considered to have served a ceremonial purpose.

Yoruba-Speaking Peoples in Dahomey

Opening ParagraphIt is one of the disadvantages of the division of West Africa between various colonial powers that, in many instances, tribal and language groups are cut across or artificially limited. It is not always realized that the Yoruba-speaking peoples, so numerous in Nigeria, extend beyond the frontiers of that colony. Right across the centre of what is now the French colony of Dahomey is a band of Yoruba-speaking peoples, and even in Togoland this wave continues. These are not isolated groups of traders, such as may be found in many large coastal towns, but continuous towns and villages of people who, whatever their origins, speak dialects of the Yoruba language. These peoples are often denominated ‘Nago’ on French ethnographical maps, and the use of this term has been an additional factor in obscuring their kinship in language, and also probably in race, with their Yoruba neighbours in the adjoining British colony of Nigeria. The word Nago has entered maps and official documents; frenchified as Nagot, it sometimes even takes on the ugly feminine form of Nagote.
