Honeybees are not native to North America and were introduced to the Americas by early European immigrants. Due to immigration and the different jobs that bees are used for, honeybees now exist on every continent except for Antarctica. Over the past century, the world population of honeybees and bees in general has been declin- ing. Several species of bees have already been de- clared extinct and other species of bees are on their way to extinction. According to Diana Cox-Foster (2009), professor of entomology at Penn State University, “The number of managed honeybee colonies in 2006 was about 2.4 million, less than half what it was in 1949” (p. 40).

  • CONCERNS in TYPOGRAPHY & CULTURE: a Case-Study Based on the Kotas of the Nilgiris INTRODUCTION Enveloped in Urban Settings
    CONCERNS IN TYPOGRAPHY & CULTURE: A case-study based on the Kotas of the Nilgiris INTRODUCTION Enveloped in urban settings with languages and literacy being easily available to us, it is difficult for us to imagine that there do exist people, cultures and communities, who are still trying to figure ways of creating visual expressions to their verbal language! This paper introduces us to a script which was born in 2010 in the Neilgherries-The Kota script. In the middle of the vast Indian sub-continent amidst the glorious serenity of the south, lies the land of forgotten tribes who have made the high hills their abode since the past thousands of years. The convergence of the Western and Eastern ghats in an area which has been christened by the British as ‘Neilgherry’ provides these native tribes a home for their kind to flourish and prosper with all that the Nilgiri has to offer. These hills are the abode of some communities which live in perfect harmony with nature. But now, due to external factors such as globalization and urbanization they find themselves resisting the pressures of the outside world and are trying to preserve their ancient culture so that it does not fade with the onslaught of time. The CONTEXT of CULTURE Anthropologists conceived the modern concept of culture toward the end of the 19th century. The first really clear and comprehensive definition came from the British anthropologist Sir Edward Tylor. Writing in 1871, he defined culture as “that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, law, morals, custom and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society” (Tylor 1871/1958,p.1).

  • Tribal and Modern Voices in South Indian Kota Society
    Richard K. Wolf Harvard University Tribal and Modern Voices in South Indian Kota Society The Kotas number about two thousand and live on the Nilgiri plateau in South India. Kotas refer to themselves by various terms that implicate indig- enous status, including “tribals,” ādivāsīs, and “mountain peoples.” Although in some situations Kotas stress their tribal status and in others they emphasize their modernity, most do not consider these to be in opposition. The ways Kotas view themselves today in relation to their forefathers, their spirits of the dead, their gods, and tribal and non-tribal others, are in various ways discern- able in Kota song texts and musical styles. Analysis of performance style and texts of Kota mourning songs, devotional songs, and popular styles provides nuanced perspectives on how Kotas position themselves socially and culturally in the contemporary world. keywords: Kota—Nilgiris—Tamil—tribal—music—indigeneity—modernity Asian Ethnology Volume 73, Numbers 1–2 • 2014, 61–89 © Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture s the articles in this special issue illustrate, the question of what constitutes A indigeneity in any part of the world is entangled with issues of who has the right to define and apply the term. To anthropologists, indigeneity is entangled with a technical notion of tribe and a concomitant set of social, political, and cul- tural structures. To those outside the academy, indigeneity conjures up a range of images associated with a community’s long-standing habitation in a place. To the state, indigenous groups are potent symbols of history and place that reso- nate internationally.

'vefke· vefke·', a Kota song from Kolme·l In the story behind the epigraphical song and others like it, a community finds that divine presence depends on communal har­ mony, unity, and righteous living. Among the Kotas it is a formula­ tion found in various guises: the folklore of devotional music, stories of divine locales, and the ritual structure of worship. In this essay I will analyse all of these forms in a rain-making ceremony the Kotas perform every summer, just before the monsoon.1 The rain cer­ emony and the eclectic approach I have employed to discuss it will, I hope, allow us to explore in depth what unity means in Kota society, how Kotas have interpreted its relative absence as they have as­ sessed their past and present, and how these questions may have been affected by notions of 'tribe,' Hinduism, and morality pro­ jected upon the Kotas from without.

  • Symbolism and Social Structure in Kota Ritual
    © Richard K. Wolf 2021 Symbolism and Social Structure in Kota Ritual Note: This article was originally commissioned for Brill's Encyclopedia of the Religions of the Indigenous People of South Asia. Richard K. Wolf withdrew it from publication following disagreements with the editor. This article employs a transliteration system consistent with that established by Murray B. Emeneau and used in Richard Wolf’s other publications. The substance of this article is drawn from the author’s PhD thesis, “Of God and death: Music in ritual and everyday life. A musical ethnography of the Kotas of south India.” PhD Dissertation. University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, 1997. This article explores interrelations among Kota rituals and ceremonies as expressed in key physical and musical elements, processes, actors, and animals. I use the term “ceremony” to refer to large- scale, often multiday affairs composed of distinct units that the Kotas term cātrm (from Skt. śāstra), here meaning “rituals.” The principal ceremonies are the following: 1. devr, literally “god,” here “the god ceremony,” the annual festival in honor of the Kota gods 2. pactāv, literally “green funeral,” a ceremony following shortly after someone dies. It culminates in the cremation of the corpse; and 3. varldāv, literally “dry funeral,” the secondary mortuary ceremony performed at the end of one or more years, in honor of all those who have died recently. (The term tāv/dāv in the names of both mortuary ceremonies means “corpse,” “death,” and “funerary ceremony,” depending on context.) The importance of these three ceremonies is indicated by their length and complexity and by the detailed musical pieces that are often integral and specific to particular rituals.

    Univerzita Karlova v Praze Filozofická fakulta Ústav jižní a centrální Asie Historické vědy ––– Dějiny a kultury zemí Asie a Afriky Soňa Bendíková KÓTOVÉ Z MODRÝCH HOR: MÝTY A POVĚSTI KOTAS OF BLUE MOUNTAINS: MYTHS AND LEGENDS Disertační práce Vedoucí práce: prof. PhDr. Jaroslav Vacek, CSc. Praha 2012 „Prohlašuji, že jsem disertační práci napsala samostatně s využitím pouze uvedených a řádně citovaných pramenů a literatury a že práce nebyla využita v rámci jiného vysokovysokoškolskéhoškolského studia ani k získání jiného nebo stejného titulu.“ VVV Praze dne 212121.21 . března 2012 Soňa Bendíková 2 Abstrakt Předkládaná disertační práce s názvem Kótové z Modrých hor: Mýty a pověsti pojednává o etniku Kótů, kteří žijí v jihoindickém pohoří Nílgiri. Práce se zabývá kótskou orální tradicí tohoto kmene v kontextu změn regionu v posledních dvou stech letech. Kótové v minulosti žili v symbióze s několika dalšími místními kmeny, se kterými vytvořili unikátní systém výměnného obchodu a služeb. Až do příchodu usedlíků z údolí v počátku 19. století byl tento mikroregion izolovaný. V posledních dvou stech letech s příchodem obyvatel z údolí a Angličanů do regionu došlo k výrazné proměně oblasti Modrých hor ve všech sférách života: ekonomické, společenské, kulturní i ekologické. Cíle této práce jsou dva: a) interpretovat výsledky terénního výzkumu a analyzovat nahrávky pozůstatků orálního dědictví kmene čítajícího kolem dvou tisíc obyvatel v kontextu změn v oblasti, b) zjistit, zda a jak se tyto změny odrazily v kótské lidové slovesnosti. Práce je založena zejména na terénním výzkumu, který jsem prováděla mezi Kóty a dalšími nílgirskými etniky v letech 2001, 2003 a 2007. V roce 2007 se terénní výzkum soustředil primárně na hledání a sběr příběhů v konkrétní kótské vesnici Kolmél.
