THESIS ADVISOR : PROF. EMERITUS KEN TAYLOR. 282 pp. The study on cultural landscape and vernacular architecture in the historic town of Keng Tung, Shan State, Myanmar, that cultural landscape of historic town of Keng Tung can be categorized in to three types comprising relic cultural landscape which is the archeological evidence of the settlement in Keng Tung town, cultural landscape in rural context which is the cultural landscape made by the Dai Khoen who have lived their life compatibly with the area around Keng Tung, and cultural landscape in urban context which reflects the development of Dai Khoen people, from communities in rural context to urban context. Historical context and changes to Keng Tung make this town become a living heritage town. Factors for the happenstance and existence of vernacular architecture in historic town of Keng Tung directly and closely relate to the surroundings. Hence vernacular architecture is a significant component of Keng Tung’s cultural landscape. It was found that cultural landscape and vernacular architecture are valuable cultural heritage due to their tangible value caused by local people’s understanding in hoe to live their life properly, but happily. However, cultural heritage of Keng Tung town is declining due to development which exceeds their local and social contexts. In addition, there is another invisible to this historic town. That is, local people devalue their own cultural heritage by considering it out of date, and, moreover, value their culture unequally due to the belief that culture on Shan State belong to the minority of the country.

Visiting now is tantamount to condoning the regime.’ The above statement, which dates from 1999, is a famous quote of Aung San Suu Kyi, Laureate of the 1991 Nobel Peace Prize and leader of the National League for Democracy (NLD), the main Burmese opposition party. It reminds us that since the call to boycott launched in the mid-90s by the Burmese opponents of the military dictatorship, travelling in Burma remains a moral dilemma that is still relevant fifteen years later. However, some plead in favour of Burmese tourism, forgetting both the opposition’s numerous calls to boycott and the terrible situation in which the Burmese people live. In May 2011, the NLD has published a policy paper that put an end to the call for boycott but calls for responsible and independent tourism in Burma.

Mong Accepted 18 December 2015 La caters exclusively for the Chinese market and is best described as a Chinese enclave in Myanmar. We surveyed the morning market, wildlife trophy shops and wild meat restaurants during four visits in 2006, 2009, 2013–2014, and 2015. We observed 42 bags Keywords: of scales, 32 whole skins, 16 foetuses or pangolin parts in wine, and 27 whole pangolins for Burma CITES sale. Our observations suggest Mong La has emerged as a significant hub of the pangolin Conservation trade. The origin of the pangolins is unclear but it seems to comprise a mixture of pangolins Manis from Myanmar and neighbouring countries, and potentially African countries.

  • Macadamia Market Systems Analysis Shan State, Myanmar ______March 2020
    Macadamia Market Systems Analysis Shan State, Myanmar ___________________________________________________________________________________ March 2020 Commissioned by ILO and authored by Jon Keesecker Acknowledgements The author would like to thank Ko Ko Win and Jonathan Bird for their technical inputs to the research and report writing for this study. This document has been produced for the International Labour Organization (ILO) with funding from the Norwegian Agency for Development Cooperation (NORAD) and the Swiss State Secretariat for Economic Affairs (SECO). The views and opinions expressed in this report are those of the consultants and do not necessarily reflect those of the ILO, NORAD, SECO or any other stakeholder. International Labour Organization (ILO) No.1, Kanbe (Thitsar Street) Yankin Township Yangon, Myanmar. Tel: (95-1) 533538/566539 2 Executive Summary Macadamia is among the rarest tree nuts in the world, but global interest is growing quickly. In 2019, global production of macadamia kernel stood at 59,000 MT, or less than 8% of other individual nuts like almond, walnut, cashew or pistachio. However, macadamia production rose 57% between 2009 and 2019, faster than any other tree nut. Sixty-seven percent of output originates in Australia, South Africa and Kenya, but other sources such as China and Vietnam are also increasing cultivation. Imports have swelled, rising 23% between 2007 and 2017 to reach a total of 32,000 MT. Export markets are fairly consolidated. In 2017, the U.S. accounted for 28% of imports, followed by the EU (20%), China (12%) and Japan (10%). Along with rising prices, global supply value for macadamia rose three-fold from $370 million USD in 2008 to $1.14 trillion in 2019.

February 2020 © Copyright by Dayne O’Meara 2020 All rights reserved Statement of Originality This thesis is the original work of the author. All sources used and assistance obtained have been acknowledged. Dayne O’Meara February 2020 ii Acknowledgements I am indebted to a number of people who have helped me over not only the four years of working on this project but also my journey to anthropology before that. The first person I would like to thank has not been directly involved in this thesis but is the person I credit with starting me down this path. She continues to be a valued friend and support. Tanya King was one of my undergraduate lecturers at Deakin University in Geelong, and she supervised my Honours thesis. I entered her introduction to anthropology class in 2009 as a relatively close-minded student. After a few weeks, my whole outlook on the world changed dramatically. My motivations for learning about other peoples shifted, and my passion for the discipline of anthropology was born. The others who taught me at Deakin also influenced me greatly to reach this point. Thanks also to Rohan Bastin, Roland Kapferer, and Richard Sutcliffe for guiding me through anthropology from 2009–2012. After relocating to the Australian National University in Canberra for postgraduate studies, I met Ajarn Chintana Sandilands, to whom I owe an enormous debt of gratitude for her patience, passion, and tenacity.

    UNDERCURRENTS Monitoring Development on Burma’s Mekong INSIDE: Blasting the Mekong Consequences of the Navigation Scheme Road Construction in Shan State: Turning Illegal Drug Profits into Legal Revenues Sold Down the River The tragedy of human trafficking on the Mekong No Place Left for the Spirits of the Yellow Leaves Intensive logging leaves few options for the Mabri people in Shan State ...and more The Lahu National Development January 2005 Organization (LNDO) The Mekong/ Lancang The Mekong River is Southeast Asia’s longest, stretching from its source in Tibet to the delta of Vietnam. Millions of people depend on it for agriculture and fishing, and accordingly it holds a special cultural significance. For 234 kilometers, the Mekong forms the border between Burma’s Shan State and Luang Nam Tha and Bokeo provinces of Laos. This stretch includes the infamous “Golden Triangle”, or where Burma, Laos and Thailand meet, which has been known for illicit drug production. Over 22,000 primarily indigenous peoples live in the mountainous region of this isolated stretch of the river in Burma. The main ethnic groups are Akha, Shan, Lahu, Sam Tao (Loi La), Chinese, and En. The Mekong River has a special significance for the Lahu people. Like the Chinese, we call it the Lancang, and according to legends, the first Lahu people came from the river’s source. Traditional songs and sayings are filled with references to the river. True love is described as stretching form the source of the Mekong to the sea. The beauty of a woman is likened to the glittering scales of a fish in the Mekong.

  • Forbidden Songs of the Pgaz K'nyau
    Forbidden Songs of the Pgaz K’Nyau Suwichan Phattanaphraiwan (“Chi”) / Bodhivijjalaya College (Srinakharinwirot University), Tak, Thailand Translated by Benjamin Fairfield in consultation with Dr. Yuphaphann Hoonchamlong / University of Hawai‘i at Mānoa, Honolulu, Hawai‘i Peer Reviewer: Amporn Jirattikorn / Chiang Mai University, Thailand Manuscript Editor and General Editor: Richard K. Wolf / Harvard University Editorial Assistant: Kelly Bosworth / Indiana University Bloomington Abstract The “forbidden” songs of the Pkaz K’Nyau (Karen), part of a larger oral tradition (called tha), are on the decline due to lowland Thai moderniZation campaigns, internaliZed Baptist missionary attitudes, and the taboo nature of the music itself. Traditionally only heard at funerals and deeply intertwined with the spiritual world, these 7-syllable, 2-stanza poetic couplets housing vast repositories of oral tradition and knowledge have become increasingly feared, banned, and nearly forgotten among Karen populations in Thailand. With the disappearance of the music comes a loss of cosmology, ecological sustainability, and cultural knowledge and identity. Forbidden Songs is an autoethnographic work by Chi Suwichan Phattanaphraiwan, himself an artist and composer working to revive the music’s place in Karen society, that offers an inside glimpse into the many ways in which Karen tradition is regulated, barred, enforced, reworked, interpreted, and denounced. This informative account, rich in ethnographic data, speaks to the multivalent responses to internal and external factors driving moderniZation in an indigenous and stateless community in northern Thailand.

Data were gathered from Palaung speakers in Thailand, Myanmar, and China: in Thailand from Noe-Lae village, Chiang Mai Province; in Myanmar from Nyaung Gone village, Kalaw city, and Ban Paw village, Kengtung; and in China from five varieties of the Palaung language spoken in villages in Luxi county and in Nan Sang Cun Shan Zhai village, Ruili township, both areas of which are in Dehong Dai-Jingpo Autonomous Prefecture, Yunnan. The personal pronouns of all of these dialects form a system divided by number—singular, dual, and plural—and by person—first, second, and third.
