Extractions: T anzania is located in Eastern Africa, bordering theIndian Ocean, between Kenya and Mozambique. The country is about twice the size of California. It has seven border countries: Burundi, Kenya, Malawi, Mozambique, Rwanda,Uganda, and Zambia. Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world, and relies primarily on agriculture which accounts for half of its GDP. The lives of all Tanzanians depend on natural resources for both the present and future generations. The country is endowed with significant natural resources, which include forests and woodlands, wild animals, rivers, lakes and wetlands. Tanzanians rely on a number of other natural resources as well, including hydropower, tin, phosphates, iron ore, coal, diamonds, gemstones, gold, natural gas, and nickel. All these resources play big roles to the economy is terms of the social and economic goods and services, which they provide. The depletion of these resources will positively undermine the ecological sustainability of economic activity.

Extractions: ALGERIA HISTORY Since the 5th century B.C., the indigenous tribes of northern Africa (identified by the Romans as "Berbers") have been pushed back from the coast by successive waves of Phoenician, Roman, Vandal, Byzantine, Arab, Turkish, and, finally, French invaders. The greatest cultural impact came from the Arab invasions of the 8th and 11th centuries A.D., which brought Islam and the Arabic language. The effects of the most recent (French) occupationFrench language and European-inspired socialismare still pervasive. North African boundaries have shifted during various stages of the conquests. The borders of modern Algeria were created by the French, whose colonization began in 1830. To benefit French colonists, most of whom were farmers and businessmen, northern Algeria was eventually organized into overseas departments of France, with representatives in the French National Assembly. France controlled the entire country, but the traditional Muslim population in the rural areas remained separated from the modern economic infrastructure of the European community. Indigenous Algerians began their revolt on November 1, 1954, to gain rights denied them under French rule. The revolution, launched by a small group of nationalists who called themselves the National Liberation Front (FLN), was a guerrilla war in which both side used terrorist tactics. Eventually, protracted negotiations led to a cease-fire signed by France and the FLN on March 18, 1962, at Evian, France. The Evian accords also provided for continuing economic, financial, technical, and cultural relations along with interim administrative arrangements until a referendum on self-determination could be held.

Extractions: The Makua of Madagascar Madagascar , the largest island in the Indian Ocean, is located off the southeastern coast of Africa. Its more than 14 million people are composed of many diverse ethnic groups. Uninhabited until 2,500 years ago, it was first populated by Malays and Indonesians. In the last thousand years, groups of African and Arab ancestry have claimed the island as home. In the 1500's, Europeans were the last to appear. Despite its proximity to Africa, the main inhabitants of the island (the Malagasy) do not consider themselves African, but related to Indonesians. The 158,600 Makua are an African tribal people who were originally from northern Mozambique . Why they are in Madagascar is not clear, but it appears that at one time a neighboring tribe, the Makonde, captured and sold many of them to Arab traders as slaves. In turn, the Arabs took the captives to Madagascar, where eventually they became free residents. The Makua speak a language that is part of the Niger-Congo language family. What are their lives like?

Extractions: More than 120 ethnic groups are represented in Tanzania. Each of these groups differs, to varying degrees, from other groups in culture, social organization, and language. Only the smallest groups are homogeneous, however. Most groups are characterized by some internal variation in language and culture. The largest ethnic group, the Sukuma, represents nearly 13% of the total population; the remaining large groups represent under 5% each. Ethnicity continues to reflect geographic area. During colonial rule, administrative subdivisions had often been drawn along ethnic lines; this situation has continued after independence despite the government's genuine efforts to downplay ethnic considerations. Less than 1% of Tanzania's population is made up of non-Africans, including Europeans, Asians, and Arabs. Interethnic conflict has not been a significant political problem in Tanzania as it has been elsewhere in Africa. Perhaps one reason for the relative absence of ethnic conflict is the fact that Tanzania is made up of a great many groups, none of which predominates. Ethnic identities may also have weakened over the decades. However, in recent years, tensions have developed between Christians and Muslims, a problem that may threaten the unity between the Mainland and Zanzibar. Tensions between indigenous Tanzanians and the Asian community, which are prominent in business, have also surfaced in recent years. The two largest ethnic groups in Tanzania are linguistically and culturally closely related. The traditional homelands ofthe

DITSL Ethnographical Collection a journey to a multitude of peoples of the hint at activities which characterise theirindigenous economies. mats, wooden sculptures of the makonde, and ritual http://www.wiz.uni-kassel.de/ditsl/en/sammlung.html
Extractions: The visitor of the exhibition is guided on a journey to a multitude of peoples of the Developing World. He is acquainted with items of the culture exemplifying what former generations in response to their socio-ecological environment have created or adopted by contacts with other cultures. These achievements have moulded the spirits, the characteristic features and the work of all those who lived after them. The exhibition attempts a comparative view of different cultures. Goods of daily use and objects of art open an insight into the lifestyle of people and hint at activities which characterise their indigenous economies. They enhance understanding of environment-specific survival strategies. There is no clear-cut distinction, however, between goods of daily use and objects of art. Implements may be skilfully decorated and, hence be viewed as artefacts, like weapons, through abstraction, may become symbols of power and physical strength. Basic themes of art are objects of death and fertility which beats death and safeguards survival. The collection comprises about 3.000 ethnographic objects, of which 1.400 have been donated by former students of the German Colonial School at Witzenhausen and its successor institutions, from about 1900 onwards. Other pieces originate from various sources, among which a great number have been contributed by the Museum of Natural History of Kassel in1979. These were originally part of the collection of the Count of Hesse which dating back to the 17th Century.

Martin and Agnes Lee Agama Dates: Background: Among the activities of the People and Plants in Southeast Asia, the Certificate Training Course (CTC) in applied ethnobotany was focused on building skills and knowledge in a talented group of researchers and community workers who have at least an undergraduate degree. In an evaluation of the CTC, Danna Leaman suggested that future courses be held within a regional institution committed to ethnobotanical research and training. It was decided that Khon Kaen University would be an excellent choice: its Department of Pharmacognosy and Pharmaceutical Botany, headed by Dr. Chayan Picheansoonthon, has a strong record of ethn obotanical research. In addition, the Department had been seeking someone to design and teach an ethnobotany course that was already part of the curriculum but not yet taught at the University.

Extractions: Lemeck Kinyunyu and Marja Liisa Swantz This paper is based mainly on experiences in a donor-supported program, the aim of which has been to improve local conditions for sustainable livelihood. In this program, the "development agents" are working in close contact with communities, endeavoring to make use of local knowledge and respond to the needs, resources, and ideas arising in participatory communication with local people from all categories, classes, and walks of life. Participatory approaches have been applied in one way or another in Tanzanian research for thirty years. Through participation, an outside interference attempts to become part of the continuing process of local life , rather than be a separate project or equipment brought to the people ( kiletewa ). Ideally, monitoring or measuring of development or environmental change should not be an isolated effort, any more than development should be a separate project divorced from people's way of conceiving their everyday life, and the ways people sustain their lives. How far this way of conceiving the outside interference can succeed continues to be an open question. In the present atmosphere of donor-saturated development and environmental programs, money flows, loans are offered, per diems are paid, and allowances and salary toppings are dished out to such an extent that it is hard to expect anyone to move an inch without them. Can participatory methods be used in such an atmosphere for finding grassroots indicators?
BANTU LANGUAGES Swahili is a somewhat archaic Bantu dialect, indigenous probably to (10) The archaicMakonde or Mabiha of the Tumbuka, Ilenga and Atonga peoples, and occupies http://55.1911encyclopedia.org/B/BA/BANTU_LANGUAGES.htm
Extractions: For Bantam fowls see POULTRY. BANTIN, oi BANTING, the native name of the wild ox of Java, known to the Malays as sapi-utan, and in zoology as Bos (Bibos) sondaicus. The white patch on the rump distinguishes the bantin from its ally the gaur (q.v.). Bulls of the typical bantin of Java and Borneo are, when fully adult, completely black except for the white rump and legs, but the cows and young are rufous. In Burma the species is represented by the tsaine, or hsaine, in which the colour of the adult bulls is rufous fawn. Tame bantin are bred in Bali, near Java, and exported to Singapore. (See BOVIDAE.) William of Orange were landed here in 1697. There are several islands, the principal of which are Bear Island and Whiddy, off the town. Ruins of the so-called fish palaces testify to the failure of the pilchard fishery in the 18th century. BANTU LANGUAGES. The greater part of Africa south of the equator possesses but one linguistic family so far as its native inhabitants are concerned. This clearly-marked division of human speech has been entitled the Bantu, a name invented by Dr W. H. I. Bleek, and it is, on the whole, the fittest general term with which to designate the most remarkable group of African languages. 1 Bantu (literally Ba-ntu) is the most archaic and most widely spread term for men, mankind, people, in these languages. It also indicates aptly the leading feature of this group of tongues, which is the governing of the unchangeable root by prefixes. The syllable -flu is nowhere found now standing alone, but it originally meant object, or possibly person. It is also occasionally used as a relative pronoun that. that which, he who. Combined with different prefixes it has different meanin~s. Thus (in the purer forms of Bantu languages) muntu means a man, bantu means men, kintu means a thing, bintu things, kantu means a little thing, tuntu little things, and so on. This term Banlu has been often criticized, but no one has supplied a better, simpler designation for this section of Negro languages, and the name has now been definitely consecrated by usage.
