Indigenous games are an integral component of indigenous knowledge systems. These and other games in general are usually viewed from the narrow perspective of play, enjoyment and recreation. Even though these are important, there is more to games than just the three aesthetic aspects. Analysis of games reveals complexities that are not usually considered. Some of the revelations that come from analysis of indigenous games are: The history and origins of the games; socio-cultural developments and contributions to societal and national activities; mathematical concepts associated with the games; possibilities and implications for general classroom - related curriculum development; clarification of misconceptions and myths related to the different game; etc. This article explores research methods that may be used when indigenous games are investigated and when mathematics is taught in the classroom. It reflects upon and draws most of the examples from a study that was conducted on indigenous games in the Limpopo and North West Provinces of South Africa. It also suggests how these research methods may be used to explore mathematical concepts, principles and processes that are associated with various indigenous knowledge systems activities.
本土游戏是本土知识系统不可或缺的组成部分。这些游戏和其他游戏通常都是从游戏、享受和娱乐的狭隘角度来看待的。尽管这些都很重要,但游戏还有比这三个美学元素更多的元素。对游戏的分析揭示了我们通常不会考虑到的复杂性。通过对本土游戏的分析,我们可以获得以下启示:游戏的历史和起源;社会文化发展和对社会和国家活动的贡献;与游戏相关的数学概念;一般课堂相关课程发展的可能性及影响;澄清与不同游戏相关的误解和神话;等。本文探讨了在调查本土游戏和在课堂上教授数学时可能使用的研究方法。它反映并借鉴了一项对南非林波波省和西北省的土著游戏进行的研究中的大多数例子。它还建议如何使用这些研究方法来探索与各种土著知识系统活动相关的数学概念、原理和过程。

The research was carried out to study the socio-economic  characteristic of the Remos of Ogan State of Ngeria; to determine their relationship with insects which they regard as edible, which they use for rituals and which they use for medicinal purposes. Two hundred and eighty-five questionnaires were administered. The data collected was analysed by using frequency counts and percentages. Common edible insects were found to include termites (Macrotermes bellicossus), cricket (Brachytrypes sp) and (Analeptes trifaciata). The insects used for rituals and medicinal purposes include the butterfly used for making love portion; Cryptothelia rongeoti used as a defense against any evil; Brachytrypes sp, Lycosa sp and Apis melifera used for good fortune. The honey bee (Apis melifera) is used to prevent dizziness, while the sting of Ant is used for healing wound, curing of impotence in males and is also used as a cure for “thunderbolt”. The study found that in this community insects are valuable for both food and medicinal purposes. It recommends that more work on medicinal and nutritional value of these insects be undertaken.
进行这项研究是为了研究尼日利亚奥甘州偏远地区的社会经济特征;为了确定他们与昆虫的关系他们认为昆虫是可食用的,用于仪式和药用目的。共发放了285份问卷。收集的数据通过频率计数和百分比进行分析。常见的食用昆虫包括白蚁(Macrotermes bellicossus)、蟋蟀(Brachytrypes sp)和蟋蟀(Analeptes trifaciata)。用于仪式和医疗目的的昆虫包括用于做爱的蝴蝶;用来抵御任何邪恶的隐苔虫;用于祈福的短锥草、枸杞子和蜜蜂。蜜蜂(Apis melifera)被用来防止头晕,而蚂蚁的刺被用来愈合伤口,治疗男性阳痿,也被用来治疗“雷电”。研究发现,在这个群落中,昆虫既有食物价值,也有药用价值。它建议对这些昆虫的药用和营养价值进行更多的研究。

Changes in the global environment and rapid land use fostered by changing national political economic policies are the main factors impacting the context within which traditional knowledge in resource management is used. Traditional management practices are deeply embedded in local culture and spirituality; therefore, gender and spatial ecological diversity are key issues for investigation. This article explores traditional environmental management practices in Lower Changane, Southern Mozambique from an historical dynamic perspective. The article draws on qualitative research methods including literature review, and detailed fieldwork conducted between 1998 to 2000. The field work involved direct observation, Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and informal interviews. The research found that many traditional environmental management practices are of relevant ecological importance, but have often been overlooked by developmental strategies. The research recommends that the study and documentation of traditional environmental management should inform sound environmental education.
全球环境的变化和国家政治经济政策变化所促进的土地迅速利用是影响资源管理方面传统知识使用的主要因素。传统的管理实践深深植根于当地的文化和精神;因此,性别和空间生态多样性是研究的重点。本文从历史动态的角度探讨了莫桑比克南部下昌加纳的传统环境管理实践。本文借鉴了定性研究方法,包括文献综述和1998年至2000年间进行的详细实地调查。实地工作包括直接观察、参与式农村评价和非正式访谈。研究发现,许多传统的环境管理实践具有相关的生态重要性,但往往被发展战略所忽视。这项研究建议,传统环境管理的研究和文件应当为健全的环境教育提供信息。

Aspects of indigenous knowledge and protection in small-scale farming systems: A challenge for advancement 小规模农业系统中土著知识和保护的各个方面:促进发展的挑战
Pub Date : 2009-10-20 DOI: 10.4314/INDILINGA.V4I2.46957
Magoro, M. Masoga
The paper presents the results of a research project undertaken in the Magatle community, Capricorn district, Limpopo province during 2003 / 2004, which explored local farmers' perceptions and understanding of indigenous farming, and the way in which their knowledge can be protected. The main aim of the study was to identify key aspects of IK and protection in such a way that they can be used to guide farmer-based research and training activities. The ultimate objective is to promote the use of IK to conserve agricultural resources and intensify production in Magatle and Madisha Leolo villages. The study adopted a systems approach, and qualitative data were collected. Although farming activities may seem to be determined solely by the physical properties of fields, the findings indicate that the farming practices are shaped by historical processes and local cultural values, and that the management strategies adopted by farmers are influenced by a broad range of factors. Understanding the reasoning behind indigenous farming strategies practised by farmers requires an open mind in recognizing and taking into account certain subjective and cultural factors.
本文介绍了2003 / 2004年在林波波省摩羯区Magatle社区开展的一项研究项目的结果,该项目探讨了当地农民对土著农业的看法和理解,以及保护他们知识的方式。这项研究的主要目的是确定本土知识和保护的关键方面,以便它们可以用来指导基于农民的研究和培训活动。最终目标是在Magatle和Madisha Leolo村促进利用本土知识来保护农业资源和加强生产。本研究采用系统方法,收集定性数据。虽然农业活动似乎仅由田地的物理特性决定,但研究结果表明,农业实践受到历史进程和当地文化价值观的影响,农民采取的管理战略受到一系列广泛因素的影响。要理解农民实践的土著农业战略背后的原因,需要以开放的心态认识和考虑某些主观和文化因素。

Protection and preservation of expressions of indigenous culture - a perspective from Papua New Guinea 保护和保存土著文化的表现形式-巴布亚新几内亚的观点
Pub Date : 2009-10-20 DOI: 10.4314/INDILINGA.V4I2.46956
L. Kalinoe
The paper argues that the search for a suitable regulatory regime for expressions of indigenous culture and traditional knowledge in Papua New Guinea, and perhaps internationally, can be significantly enhanced if we separate and streamline the issues and the accompanying language, which are on the one hand a regime for the preservation of culture, and on the other, intellectual property rights (IPR). In Papua New Guinea, the National Cultural Commission should therefore be encouraged to focus its attention on the preservation of culture, but be vigilant to any dangers that IPR may pose for such preservation.
这篇论文认为,如果我们将这些问题和附带的语言分开并简化,就可以大大加强对巴布亚新几内亚土著文化和传统知识表达的适当监管制度的探索,也许在国际上也是如此。这些问题和语言一方面是保护文化的制度,另一方面是知识产权(IPR)的制度。因此,在巴布亚新几内亚,应鼓励国家文化委员会集中注意保护文化,但对知识产权可能对这种保护造成的任何危险保持警惕。

In search for methodology for the collection and evaluation of farmers' indigenous environmental knowledge 寻找收集和评估农民土著环境知识的方法
Pub Date : 2009-10-20 DOI: 10.4314/INDILINGA.V2I1.47002

Many of the conventional geographical methods of eliciting indigenous information from farmers are often unsuitable. Therefore this article suggests that pre-testing and evaluation of the conventional methods of eliciting information need to be conducted. Attempt was made particularly to search for the appropriate method of collecting and evaluating farmers' indigenous environmental knowledge in developing countries. The article concludes that information about farmers' knowledge of their environment in developing countries can not be obtained using a 'single-method' approach. An 'integrated-data-acquisition' technique is thereby considered as the appropriate method, the choice of which will largely depend on the researchers' understanding of the people's cultural characteristics, perception and decision-making process.
从农民那里获取当地信息的许多传统地理方法往往不合适。因此,本文建议对传统的信息提取方法进行预测试和评价。特别试图寻找收集和评价发展中国家农民土著环境知识的适当方法。这篇文章的结论是,关于发展中国家农民对其所处环境的了解的信息不能通过“单一方法”获得。因此,“综合数据采集”技术被认为是合适的方法,其选择将在很大程度上取决于研究人员对人们的文化特征、感知和决策过程的理解。

Indigenous approach to weather forecasting in Asa L.G.A, Kwara State, Nigeria 尼日利亚夸拉州Asa L.G.A的土著气象预报方法
Pub Date : 2009-10-20 DOI: 10.4314/INDILINGA.V2I1.46981
L. T. Ajibade, O. O. Shokemi
Two hundred (200) people of ages above forty-five (45) years and mostly males were randomly selected and interviewed across Asa Local Government Area of Kwara State, to elicit information on their indigenous methods of weather forecast. The study observed that over 95% of the respondents know much about weather forecast. They identified five weather systems, which they are capable of forecasting using accumulated experiences. These include rainfall, thunderstorm, windstorm, harmattan and sunshine. The occurrence of some of these as observed, can also be modified (induced or prevented). Whereas, indigenous weather forecasting is appreciated for its role in agricultural development, their modifications are however, discouraged for their possible effects on natural processes. To sum up, indigenous methods are seen as complimentary rather than contradiction to western-based methods. Consequently, the study recommends that outcomes of indigenous knowledge-based researches should be utilised and integrated in development processes.
在Kwara州的Asa地方政府地区,随机选择了200名年龄在45岁以上的人,其中大多数是男性,并对他们进行了采访,以获取有关他们当地天气预报方法的信息。研究发现,超过95%的受访者对天气预报非常了解。他们确定了五种天气系统,他们能够利用积累的经验进行预测。这些因素包括降雨、雷暴、暴风、冰雹和阳光。观察到的其中一些情况的发生,也可以加以修改(诱导或预防)。虽然土著天气预报因其在农业发展中的作用而受到赞赏,但由于其可能对自然过程产生影响,因此不鼓励对其进行修改。总而言之,本土方法被认为是对西方方法的补充,而不是矛盾。因此,该研究建议,应该在发展过程中利用和整合本土基于知识的研究成果。

"Tell me your story": Using narratives from interviews to understand indigenous knowledge “告诉我你的故事”:利用采访中的叙述来理解土著知识

Conversation is an ancient and profoundly human way of constructing knowledge about the world in which we live. The qualitative research interview is drawing on this everyday activity, adjusting it to fit a research objective. In anthropology and sociology the qualitative research interview has, for several decades, been used as a means of obtaining in-depth knowledge about people’s life-world. Not only has more light been shed on how people interpret and explain their personal experiences, we also have learned more about qualitative approaches and how qualitative data could be interpreted and presented for a community of researchers. In this article, we show how one of the characteristic traits of the qualitative interview, the narrative, makes it especially well suited for an inductive understanding of cultures and in the pursuit of indigenous knowledge. The intention behind this approach is to bring us beyond generalisations and question stereotypes in the discourse about native and indigenous peoples.
对话是一种古老而深刻的人类构建关于我们生活的世界的知识的方式。定性研究访谈就是利用这种日常活动,对其进行调整以适应研究目标。在人类学和社会学中,几十年来,定性研究访谈一直被用作深入了解人们生活世界的一种手段。我们不仅对人们如何解释和解释他们的个人经历有了更多的了解,还对定性方法有了更多的了解,以及如何为研究人员群体解释和呈现定性数据。在本文中,我们将展示定性访谈的特点之一,即叙事性,如何使其特别适合于对文化的归纳理解和对土著知识的追求。这种方法背后的意图是让我们超越概括,质疑关于土著和土著人民的话语中的刻板印象。
