The IRCI and Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Properties are two of the National Institutes for Cultural Heritage, an umbrella institution comprising seven institutes with the mission of conserving and using cultural heritage properties. IRCI was established in 2011 as a Category 2 Centre under the auspices of UNESCO to promote the Convention for the Safeguarding of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) and its uses in Asia-Pacific region. One of IRCI’s main tasks is to instigate and coordinate research into practices and methodologies for safeguarding ICH while cooperating with universities, research institution, community representatives and other governmental and non-governmental organisations in the region. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) adopted in 2015 indicate potential roles of culture for achieving the goals, particularly Goal 4 regarding quality education and Goal 11 regarding sustainable cities and communities. This Forum aimed to explore the future orientation of research on ICH safeguarding through discussions about the ICH role in sustainable development. Nineteen researchers, academics and experts were invited to speak. These participants were from UNESCO and eight countries: China, Indonesia, Japan, Malaysia, Nepal, New Zealand, Philippines and the United States. Their presentations were drawn from their case studies, and they actively discussed the issues with the other participants. I am sincerely grateful to all the participants for their efforts to successfully realize the Forum. The Forum opened with an invited keynote speech by Mr Kenji Yoshida, Director- General of National Museum of Ethnology in Japan, titled “Intangible Cultural Heritage and Local Communities”. It was followed by discussions organised into four sessions: “Community Development: ICH and Regional Development”, “Community Development: Environment and ICH”, “Discussions from Education Perspectives”, and “Wrap-up Discussion”. The contents of the presentations and discussions at the sessions are presented in this volume. I believe that the discussions demonstrated four types of ties that characterise ICH: intergenerational ties, ties among humankind, ties between the natural environment and human communities and ties between communities. The Executive Summary reported below describes the discussions that occurred during the Forum. I am sincerely grateful to Tokyo National Research Institute for Cultural Heritages for its cooperation and to the Agency for Cultural Affairs for its financial support through the International Collaboration Project for the Safeguarding of Cultural Properties. In addition, I express my appreciation to the members of the public who attended the Forum i i for their deep interest in the discussions and their thoughtful questions and comments. I hope the academics’ and experts’ collaborative efforts at the Forum, which are available online at the IRCI’s website (https://www.irci.jp/) to disseminate the Forum’s activities, will further increase interest in safeguarding ICH.

Social network platforms provide a variety of domains where indigenous-language communities are able to communicate in their own languages. Although the capability exists, is social networking being used by indigenous-language communities? This paper reports on one particular social networking platform, Twitter, by using two separate methodologies. First, Twitter statistics collated from the Indigenous Tweets website are analysed. The data show that languages such as Basque, Haitian Creole, Welsh, Irish Gaelic, Frisian and Kapampangan do have a presence in the “Twittersphere”. Further analysis for te reo Mäori (the Mäori language) shows that tweets in te reo Mäori are rising and peak when certain events occur. The second methodology involved gathering empirical data by tweeting in te reo Mäori. This served two purposes: it allowed an ancillary check on the validity of the Indigenous Tweets data and it allowed the opportunity to determine if the number of indigenous- language tweets could be infl uenced by the actions of one tweeter. * Senior Lecturer, Computer Science Department, University of Waikato, Hamilton, New Zealand.

Almost all are Japanese terms. The dictionary can be used in the ordinary way if the Shintō term you want to look up is already in Japanese (e.g. kami rather than ‘deity’) and has a main entry in the dictionary. If, as is very likely, the concept or word you want is in English such as ‘pollution’, ‘children’, ‘shrine’, etc., or perhaps a place-name like ‘Kyōto’ or ‘Akita’ which does not have a main entry, then consult the comprehensive Thematic Index of English and Japanese terms at the end of the Dictionary first.

  • Page Auē Le Oti: Samoan Death Rituals in a New Zealand Context. Abstract
    Auē le oti: Samoan death rituals in a New Zealand context. Byron Malaela Sotiata Seiuli1 University of Waikato Abstract Given that dialogue relating to death and grief for many Samoans still remains in the realm of tapu (sacred) or sā (protected), few attempts have been made by researchers of Samoan heritage to understand whether the cultural contexts for enacting associated rituals might also provide avenues for healing. Psychological scholarship on recovery following death, particularly among men, is largely based on dominant western perspectives that continue to privilege both clinical and ethnocentric perspectives as the norm. This case presentation, which forms part of a larger doctoral research by the author, demonstrates that some Samoan end-of-life rituals opens space for greater consideration of recovery from death as a culturally-defined process. In many instances, instead of severing ties with the deceased person as is popular in clinical approaches to grief work, Samoan grief resolution strongly endorses continued connections through its mourning patterns. Their end-of-life enactment helps to transition the deceased from this life to the next, while drawing the living together. Critically, the performance and maintenance of such important tasks create space for heaving emotions to be calmed, where meaning is made, and where the lives of those impacted are slowly restored. Some of these familiar rituals offer therapeutic value, enabling Samoans involved in this study to walk hand-in-hand with their emotional distress, while
