The Historical Paths of Sahu Ceremonial Textiles
The people of the eastern Indonesian island of Halmahera do not have a weaving history. Only the Sahu make a conscious selection of foreign textiles, colours, patterns, and motifs for ceremonial purposes. They brought home from Ternate handwoven sarongs made on or traded to Ternate from Sulawesi. Particularly interesting are an indigo-and-red ikat and a yellow- and-red handwoven cloth associated with the domain of Kolincucu on the island of Wolio…
Caught Between Mediation and Local Dependence: Understanding the Role of Non-government Organisations in Co-management of Coastal Resources in Eastern Indonesia
Resolving contestations over resource management rights around coastal villages remains a focal challenge for co-management initiatives in remote coastal zones. Contemporary socio-political settings increasingly see local people having to negotiate between local long-standing (horizontal) relationships and new emerging (vertical) relationships which involve collaborations with outside actors who try to assume neutral mediating positions. Using tw…
Collaboration or Contention? Decentralised Marine Governance in Berau
Conservation of marine space is a new frontier in environmentalists’ involvement with resource governance in Indonesia. The coastal and marine area of Berau was established as a District Marine Conservation Area (MCA) based on District Head Regulation No. 31/2005. The total MCA of 1.27 million ha was expected to become part of the wider MCA networks of the East Borneo Seascape and the Sulu Sulawesi Marine Ecoregion, as well as of the Coral Triang…
Can Patrons Be Bypassed? Frictions between Local and Global Regulatory Networks over Shrimp Aquaculture in East Kalimantan
Taking related concepts of friction and a simplified value chain analysis, this article focuses on interaction of three regulatory networks and their influence over sustainable shrimp aquaculture in East Kalimantan. The results show that while government and nongovernment organization (NGO) regulatory networks have focused on the standardization of best practices, it is artisanal trade networks, controlled by local patrons (or ponggawa), that hol…
Permeable Boundaries: Outsiders and Access to Fishing Grounds in the Berau Marine Protected Area
The designation of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in Indonesia has been accelerated over the past two decades in line with international biodiversity conservation commitments and to secure a basis for decentralised fisheries resources management. The Berau MPA of northeast Kalimantan is one of them. This paper shows how the establishment of the park boundaries and zoning affects local fishers' livelihoods. Particular attention is paid to the posit…

My Rice Field is My Child: Social and Territorial Aspects of Swidden Cultivation in Sahu, Eastern Indonesia
The Growth of Ethnobiological Nomenclature [and Comments and Reply]
This paper evaluates Brent Berlin's general principles of folk biological classification and nomenclature in view of evidence from hunter-gatherer groups which has accumulated over the past decade. In particular it focuses on his proposals concerning the growth and development of ethnobiological nomenclature. One proposal is that generic/type-specific polysemy (e.g., use of a single word to denote both oak tree in general and a single species of …
L'igname, bonne à manger et bonne à penser. Quelques aspects de l'agriculture ahouan (Côte d'Ivoire)
L. E. Visser—Yam: Good for Eating, Good for Thinking. A description of the religious concepts relating to the spatial configuration of Ahouan (Ivory Coast) villages and settlements and the central position of yam cultivation in the social life of the Ahouan. Government-sponsored efforts towards a diversification of crops—chiefly by the introduction of dry rice—may well have unforeseeable and adverse effects on traditional values and eventually on…
