  • Learning with Elders: Human Ecology and Eth- Nobotany Explorations In
    Human Organization, Vol. 75, No. 1, 2016 Copyright © 2016 by the Society for Applied Anthropology 0018-7259/16/010071-16$2.10/1 Learning with Elders: Human Ecology and Eth- nobotany Explorations in Northern and Central Vietnam Cory William Whitney, Vang Sin Min, Lê Hồng Giang, Vu Van Can, Keith Barber, and Tran Thi Lanh This article explores data gathered through an applied human ecology and ethnobotany study of selected elders from the Vietnamese Dao, Hmong, Kinh, Ma-Lieng, Sach, Tai, Tay, and Xinh-Mun ethnic groups. The research catalogued traditional uses and conservation practices related to biodiversity and plant use in northern and central Vietnam. The study utilized a human ecology systems theory approach developed by the indigenous and ethnic minority peoples’ networks of the Mekong region. Through ethnobotany feld interviews, the study gathered traditional knowledge of plants, including twenty-eight climbers, four ferns, twenty-nine annual and two perennial herbs, twenty-four shrubs, and twenty-four trees. Plant importance was analyzed using quantitative ethnobotany indices. Model tests of plant use and conservation support a human ecology systems model approach and suggest that culture, customary law, spiritual practices, and ethnobotany are important contributors to plant conservation practices. Key words: human ecology, indigenous knowledge, conservation, quantitative ethnobotany, Vietnam, ethnology, ethnobiology Cory William Whitney is associated with the Rhine-Waal University of Pha, Inta, Phonh Lamany, Vilay, Anong Soukphaphone

Each has its own individual ante-chamber partitioned with lush velvet drapes, where I’m sure many indiscretions evolved during the golden age of opera in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

  • A SIMPLE STORY Leila Guerriero
    A SIMPLE STORY Leila Guerriero Draft translation by Thomas Bunstead This is the story of a man who took part in a dance contest. * Laborde, a town thirty miles north-west of Buenos Aires in Argentina's Córdoba province, was founded in 1903, originally under the name Las Liebres. Populated at the time by Italian immigrants, it now has six thousand inhabitants and is situated in an oasis of wheat and corn dotted with windmills. The wheat and corn brought a reasonable level of prosperity to the area, nowadays maintained by soya cultivation, and manifesting in towns that seem straight out of the mind of a very orderly, or perhaps psychotic, child: each of the compact town centres features a church, a town square, a town hall, and houses each with their own front garden and the latest gleaming Toyota 4 x 4, sometimes two, parked outside. Route 11 passes through a large number of such towns, places like Monte Maíz, Escalante, Pascanas. Laborde lies between Escalante and Pascanas – church, town square, town hall, houses with front gardens, 4 x 4, et cetera; a town like many others, in an area of agriculture like many others; one of thousands of places in the country's vast interior whose name would ring no bells for most Argentineans. But, for certain people with a very specific interest, Laborde is an important place. In fact, for these people – with this specific interest – there is no place in the world more important than Laborde. * On Monday, 5th January 2009, the Argentinean daily La Nación ran an article in its arts supplement, written by one Gabriel Plaza, with the headline: ‘The folk athletes line up’.
