Eva Wollenberg initiated and helped designed the original field study, arranged the necessary funding from USAID, ITTO and CIFOR and coordinated the research of documents in Indonesia; at a later stage, she coordinated the review and editing and enthusiastically pushed for what was a mere field report to be revised into a book. This book is hers as much as the mine. May she find here the expression of my deep appreciation and of my friendship. Foreword The text below is a revised version of a report submitted to CIFOR, the output of a study entitled Social and economic history of Bulungan. It is based mainly on a survey in Bulungan1 conducted during a three-week trip to the Tarakan, Sesayap, Malinau, Tanjung Palas, and Long Peso districts in October and November 1998. Drs. Dollop Mamung, whose kind and efficient assistance I wish to acknowledge here, accompanied me in this survey. More than forty people were interviewed in over fifteen locations. I had previously conducted very brief surveys in the lower Kayan area (1991) and in Malinau (1993) and have also spent several long periods in Long Pujungan District between 1991 and 1995. In 1998 Carin Van Empel, a Dutch graduate student, carried out research in the Dutch archives. She explored collections in the Algemeen Rijksarchief in The Hague and the Koninklijk Instituut voor de Tropen in Amsterdam and selected relevant Memories van Overgave (handover reports), Mailrapporten (mail reports) and Verbalen (records) for the period 1877-1937. A further selection of the documents located was photocopied, and Van Empel translated fragments of the copied documents into English. These I later edited. Also in 1998, Dra. Erna Rositah gathered documents from various government agencies in Jakarta, Samarinda, and Tanjung Selor. These FOREWORD documents are primarily statistics, dealing with provincial, regency, and district levels. (On Dutch archives in Jakarta concerning Kalimantan, see Knapen 1997b.) A very large body of literature with relevance to the history of Bulungan is available, in Indonesian, Dutch, English, and even French, and over 350 titles (not including government statistics or archival documents) were reviewed, although not all were actually used. Apart from published books and articles, these sources include scores of unpublished documents and reports. The Dutch archive documents (except for some important Memories van Overgave) and Indonesian government reports and statistics have not been listed in the bibliography. As the original text of the present volume was written as a consultancy report, meant for project planners and fieldworkers, precise bibliographic references were not included. Its conversion into an academic text for publication, that is, with academically defensible standards, particularly with regard to bibliographic references, proved too formidable a task, given the time constraints. Therefore, for each section of the text, the most important references have been grouped in notes (see References). Most useful to this study was the work, often unpublished, of other scholars, such as Rajindra Puri and Lars Kaskija, to whom I extend my heartfelt thanks. Earlier reports by the Kayan Mentarang project of WWF (particularly Culture and Conservation, a research programme) and a number of reports by CIFORs BRF personnel, some based on studies made at later dates than my survey, were also very useful (see References). I am also indebted to the reviewers of the original report and a few other readers (Patrice Levang, Reed Wadley, Lini Wollenberg, Lars Kaskija, and Godwin Limberg) for their valuable feedback, comments, corrections, and additional data, and to Dr. Rajindra Puri for identification of some forest products. viii FOREWORD At CIFORs request, I held in Samarinda a two-day workshop entitled Metoda Penggalian Sejarah Sosial Ekonomi dan Hukum di Pedalaman Kalimantan (Methods for Investigation into Social, Economic, and Legal History in Interior Borneo; 11-12 November 1998). This workshop in Indonesian, attended by some thirty participants (research staff, faculty, students, NGOs), was jointly organised by the Center for Social Forestry (CSF) of Mulawarman University, Samarinda, and the Institute for Research on Southeast Asia of CNRS, France, and benefited from the participation of Drs. G. Simon Devung. I wish to thank Drs. Devung, Dr. Ir. Apriadi D. Gani of CSF, and the Rector of Mulawarman University. Finally, a note of warning: this text is not a comprehensive All about Bulungan, but serves as an introduction to the Bulungan region. Furthermore, it still very much reveals its origins. Rather than attempt to produce an all-encompassing but necessarily shallow picture of the whole of Bulungan in historical perspective, I had chosen, in the field study and in the original report, to focus on the areas of immediate interest to CIFOR and on those themes of direct relevance to CIFORs BRF. This is still apparent in the present text. Considering the size and complexity of the region, the depth of the historical scope, the range of issues surveyed, as well as the sheer volume of literature and documentation examined, it is a basic digest, with a few topics emphasised due to the circumstances of the original study. It is hoped that, impressionistic as it may be, the present text conveys the right information and a few sound ideas. All its biases and shortcomings are my sole responsibility. 1 In this report, Bulungan refers to the original regency (kabupaten) established by the government of Indonesia in 1959. In late 1999 this district was divided into three regencies, Malinau, Nunukan and a smaller Bulungan. The area was still one regency at the time the material for this volume was prepared. ix 1. Introduction The region under consideration is Bulungan Regency, the northern part of the province of East Kalimantan. Although certain parts of Bulungan have long been well known and studied (e.g., Apo Kayan), others, such as Long Pujungan and Malinau districts, virtually remained terrae incognitae to scholars until after 1990, when massive research programmes (e.g., WWFs Culture and Conservation in Long Pujungan and later, CIFORs BRF project in Malinau) or individual researchers (L. Kaskija, R. Puri) started activity. The historical scope extends from about 1880 to present. Geographically, in connection with the BRF location, the primary focus is on the two districts of Long Pujungan and Malinau; thematically, it is on institutions and land and forest use patterns, and their recent changes. A secondary focus is on the downstream regions (Bulungan and Sesayap), insofar as their very existence and history have shaped the present situation upstream. The studys overall methodology was to extract as much useful information as possible from all types of available sources and bring together the data across disciplines to produce a general, intelligible picture of the regions history, with emphasis on social and economic features.

  • Dossier on the Adani Group's Environmental and Social Record
    Dossier on the Adani Group’s environmental and social record Construction of Adani’s Godda power station proceeds on lands acquired from indigenous (Adivasi) farmers near Godda. Two Adivasi look on. Photo by Geoff Law, February 2020 Preliminary Edition, September 2020 Preamble AdaniWatch is a non-profit project established by the Bob Brown Foundation to shine a light on the Adani Group’s misdeeds across the planet. In Australia, Adani is best known as the company behind the proposed Carmichael coal mine in Queensland. However, the Adani Group is a conglomeration of companies engaged in a vast array of businesses, including coal-fired power stations, ports, palm oil, airports, defence industries, solar power, real estate and gas. The group’s founder and chairman, Gautam Adani, has been described as India’s second-richest man and is a close associate of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. The Adani Group is active in several countries but particularly in India, where accusations of corruption and environmental destruction have dogged its rise to power. In central India, Adani intends to strip mine ancestral lands belonging to the indigenous Gond people. Large tracts of biodiverse forest, including elephant habitat, are in the firing line. Around the coastline of India, Adani’s plans to massively expand its ports are generating outcry from fishing villages and conservationists. In the country’s east, Adani is building a thermal power station designed to burn coal from Queensland and sell expensive power to neighbouring Bangladesh. Investigations, court actions and allegations of impropriety have accompanied Adani’s progress in many of these business schemes.

  • Seeking the State from the Margins: from Tidung Lands to Borderlands in Borneo
    Seeking the state from the margins From Tidung Lands to borderlands in Borneo Nathan Bond ORCID ID: 0000-0002-8094-9173 A thesis submitted in total fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy. December 2020 School of Social and Political Sciences The University of Melbourne i Abstract Scholarship on the geographic margins of the state has long suggested that life in such spaces threatens national state-building by transgressing state order. Recently, however, scholars have begun to nuance this view by exploring how marginal peoples often embrace the nation and the state. In this thesis, I bridge these two approaches by exploring how borderland peoples, as exemplars of marginal peoples, seek the state from the margins. I explore this issue by presenting the first extended ethnography of the cross-border ethnic Tidung and neighbouring peoples in the Tidung Lands of northeast Borneo, complementing long-term fieldwork with research in Dutch and British archives. This region, lying at the interstices of Indonesian Kalimantan, Malaysian Sabah and the Southern Philippines, is an ideal site from which to study borderland dynamics and how people have come to seek the state. I analyse understandings of the state, and practical consequences of those understandings in the lives and thought of people in the Tidung Lands. I argue that people who imagine themselves as occupying a marginal place in the national order of things often seek to deepen, rather than resist, relations with the nation-states to which they are marginal. The core contribution of the thesis consists in drawing empirical and theoretical attention to the under-researched issue of seeking the state and thereby encouraging further inquiry into this issue.

The methodology makes use of the theory of assimilation and preservation of individual group identities in the dynamic changes of ethnic behaviours as applied to the USA in the 19th century. In Malaysia, a survey is conducted on the Indian Muslims, the Chinese Muslims and the Mirik people to find out the changes experienced by these three minority Muslim groups with regard to the Malays. The results show that Islam is a very important attribute of the Malays and it has the impact of pulling the minority Muslim groups into the ways of the Malays. When the Chinese, Indian and Mirik people embrace Islam, they acquire a common identity with the Malays.

  • Tradition and the Influence of Monetary Economy in Swidden Agriculture Among the Kenyah People of East Kalimantan, Indonesia
    International Journal of Social Forestry (IJSF), 2008, 1(1):61-82. ISSN 1979-2611, www.ijsf.org © Copyright 2008 CSF. TRADITION AND THE INFLUENCE OF MONETARY ECONOMY IN SWIDDEN AGRICULTURE AMONG THE KENYAH PEOPLE OF EAST KALIMANTAN, INDONESIA Ndan Imang1, Makoto Inoue2, Mustofa Agung Sardjono3 Abstract Swidden agriculture, the so called ladang 4 , system has been practised by the indigenous Kenyah people in Apau Kayan for centuries. The ladang system can be regarded as a kind of social forestry practice in the tropics insofar as it involves local people in a process of forest management and succession to ensure economic, ecological and social benefits for the communities and simultaneously sustain the resources. Since the 1950s, thousands of Kenyah people migrated from Apau Kayan downstream to the Mahakam and Kayan, river lowlands where monetary economy had already infiltrated to varying degrees. Monetary economy can lead to changes in the importance of swidden agriculture, changes in ladang practices including traditional knowledge and the farming calendar, labor allocation for mutual aid and reciprocal work, land productivity, livelihood income sources, and gender role in the ladang practices. Despite the influence of the monetary economy, the Kenyah still prefer farming as the main livelihood strategy, maintaining cohesiveness and social ties in daily life among themselves through traditional forms of ladang work organization. Kenyah people in general are quite responsive to changes in livelihood diversification, but rather unenthusiastic about practicing new inorganic agricultural practices due to the legacy of former values and the importance that they still place on strong social bonds and interaction. Keywords: swidden agriculture, ladang, Dayak Kenyah, monetary economy, communal-reciprocal work Introduction Swidden agriculture (ladang) is one of the traditional practices of forest and land management by people in the tropics, and suitable with social 1 Faculty of Agriculture/Center for Social Forestry, University of Mulawarman Indonesia.

    MANU Bil. 30, 79-102, 2019 (Disember) E-ISSN 2590-4086© Saidatul Nornis Hj. Mahali BAHASA TIDUNG PULAU SEBATIK: SATU TINJAUAN DINI The Sebatik Island Tidung Language: A Preliminary View SAIDATUL NORNIS HJ. MAHALI Pusat Penyelidikan Pulau-Pulau Kecil, Universiti Malaysia Sabah, 88400 Kota Kinabalu, Sabah [email protected] Dihantar: 19 November 2018 / Diterima: 14 Mac 2019 Abstrak Bahasa Tidung merupakan salah satu bahasa yang dituturkan di Sabah. Memandangkan belum ada sebarang tulisan yang memerihalkan bahasa Tidung Sabah, maka perbincangan dalam makalah ini hanya akan memfokuskan tentang inventori fonem dan leksikal asas bahasa Tidung. Data bahasa Tidung dalam perbincangan ini merupakan hasil kerja lapangan di Pulau Sebatik, Tawau. Pulau Sebatik boleh dihubungi dari jeti di Bandar Tawau ke jeti di Kampung Bergosong dengan masa perjalanan sekitar 15 ke 20 minit. Pulau ini didominasi oleh orang-orang Bugis, Tidung dan Bajau yang menjadikan laut sebagai salah satu sumber kehidupan mereka. Perbincangan dalam makalah ini merupakan hasil kerja lapangan di Pulau Sebatik yang menggunakan kaedah temu bual dan pemerhatian ikut serta. Seramai 20 orang informan telah ditemu bual untuk mendapatkan gambaran umum tentang bahasa Tidung di pulau itu. Namun, hanya dua orang responden khusus ditemu bual untuk mendapatkan data asas bahasa Tidung. Kedua-dua responden itu dipilih kerana mereka berusia lanjut, tidak bekerja di luar pulau, suri rumah serta hanya menerima pendidikan asas pada zaman British sahaja.
