Fern tattoo
Two young men from the village of Kinakatem (Sepik Province) present their interpretation of drawings of plant material conserved in the Oceania Collection of the Dahlem Museum of Berlin (Germany). According to them, these paintings are representations of designs produced by application of the underside of a fern frond (vuvreng), which deposits its white colored spores onto skin.

Patch
This great Punan traditional healer ensures that the sago pith he is about to collect is ready for consumption: he checks the gooiness of the heart of palm on the tip of his spear. Although a great connoisseur of forest medicinal plants, he has applied a levomenthol patch to his forehead, supposed to alleviate headaches.

To mark reindeer in Swedish Lapland, the Sami hold a roundup on the summer pastures, by foot, bike, or helicopter, to gather the animals which are shared by a group of herders. Females and their young run in circles while ranchers try to find a young reindeer that is following a female that belongs to them, to catch it and mark its ear. The poles fitted with a metal loop at the end are a recent innovation that replaces the traditional lasso.

Ironwood sea turtle
Ironwood has long been used by the Seri people (Comcáac) for making harpoon tips so hard that they can puncture the shell of sea turtles. Presently, to increase their cash incomes, the Seri people sell wonderful ironwood figurines. The plasticity and fluidity of Seri art is well displayed in figurines such as this one of a sea turtle.

Turtle Mother
During the creation of an ethnobotanical garden supported by the French association Lupuna, a group of Shipibo sculptors and potters from Amazonian Peru created this statue of manánxáhue (“Turtle Mother”), one of the many spirits dedicated to Nature.

Sami dwelling
Traditional Sami dwelling made of turf with a few amenities: a window and, most importantly, solar panels. While most of these huts are now used as summer kitchens for smoking fish or baking bread, here an old herder prefers to live in his hut in summer rather than in a more modern house.

They killed a poem.
They killed a poem with tea-stained pages.
They killed a poem still bleeding when touched.
They killed a poem unfinished.
They killed one that's yet to be thought.
They killed a poem inside of a poem.
A poem knee-deep in its mother soil.
A poem still learning to live.
A poem trembling at the edge of the mouth.
A poem asleep inside the ink.
A poem silenced before its first breath.
They killed a poem inside of a poem.

The Plaque Découpée Universelle or Universal Stencil Plate was created by the engineer Jonathan A. David in 1876 and sold at the Paris Exposition Universelle in 1878, hence the French name. This lettering stencil was designed to draw all upper and lower case letters as well as all possible ornaments one can imagine using its numerous lines.

The [Ophir] award for best film, as well as five other prizes, was given to “Hayam”, a film about a 12-year-old Palestinian boy from the occupied West Bank who wants to travel to Tel Aviv to see the sea for the first time.
Winning best film means it will now automatically become Israel’s entry for the Academy Awards in the international film category next year.
A Batek woman walks in the forest of Taman Negara National Park in search of useful materials. The Batek are hunter-gatherers whose knowledge of the forest landscape is based on familiarity with a complex network of trails and topographic features. This knowledge is transmitted through long practice in walking, gathering, and moving from one place to another.

After the carefully maintained #Kokedera temple site was abandoned in the twelfth century, forest developed on the site, with a remarkable cover of mosses (120 species) carpeting the forest floor. Currently, this forest is particularly revered, as are, in other contexts, sacred forests from tropical regions that can constitute #biodiversity reserves in areas where the original forests have almost disappeared.

The rainforest is a very special classroom for both #ethnobiologists and local people. Field studies involving researchers and villagers allow the comparison of local knowledge and scientific knowledge, as here in the measurement of DBH (diameter at breast height), a standard measure of tree trunks, carried out by a #Baka villager and a biologist from the University of Yaoundé.

The Purépecha use common tule, or hardstem bulrush, from Lake Pátzcuaro (Michoacán) to weave all sorts of traditional objects such as panniers, baskets, mats, and hats. These items, which serve the needs of daily life, are also some of the crafts sought after by tourists. They are sold at major festivals that bring together the wares from the entire region, as here in the zócalo (central square) of Uruapán.

In the Wildlife Sanctuary of Rema-Kalenga, Tripura men prepare bamboo harvested from the surrounding forests. Often called “the poor man's timber”, bamboo plays a major role in regional markets. Thirty-three species have been recorded and are a main source of income. It is men who collect and prepare the bamboo. From this raw material, women fashion mats and other various objects.

In Africa, wild yams – tubers rich in protein – were a key food for early humans and continue to be enjoyed by some hunter-gatherers today. On the neighboring island of Madagascar, farmers like to grow a great diversity of introduced yam varieties but they are not interested in reestablishing the wild ancestral forms.

지난해 9월20일 한 여성이 사망했습니다. 30대 심아무개씨, 홀로 유치원생 딸을 키워온 엄마는 불법추심에 시달리다 끝내 스스로 목숨을 끊었습니다. 그는 철거를 앞둔 서울 하월곡동 ‘미아리 텍사스’ 지역에서 성노동자의 생존권과 이주 대책을 요구했던 주민이자, 활동가이기도 했습니다.

Bouquets of wheat are presented at a seed exchange market. While agricultural modernization has successfully encouraged the cultivation of improved varieties produced by seed companies, some farmers seek to revive the management of old varieties. They came together in 2003 in the network "Semences paysannes" ("farmers’ seeds”).

In one day, all these cacao pods have to be opened, both to protect the crop from thieves and to permit the seeds to dry. This is why a cacao field owner sought help from many people from his village and nearby villages, whether they are from his ethnic group or not. Children also help, but mostly in the preparation of cacao juice. When the work is over, the owner will provide everyone with a meal.

An olive stall in the main market of Meknes. The very low diversity in varieties of olives in Morocco (the Moroccan Picholine is the dominant clone) is offset here by the wide variety of modes of preparation. Similarly, a large variety of olive oil types are found in Morocco, which differ principally in their modes of preparation and areas of origin, rather than in their varietal diversity.

Despite access to modern medicine, some maladies remain in the domain of traditional healers. This itinerant shaman cares for a three-year-old child who is still not able to walk. His offerings are a bowl of sticky rice, cups of rice wine, incense sticks and ceremonial money. Trance, prayers to the ancestors of the parents, and incantations to guardian spirits follow. Then, the shaman will make the child drink a decoction of medicinal plants

The 5,000 Dolgans of Taimyr in #Siberia represent a northern branch of the Turkish language family. The nomadic life of these reindeer herders in the Arctic tundra is governed by the seasonal migration of the reindeer. In 1993, an anthropological team collected blood samples from various ethnic groups living in Siberia. The samples were then tested at the Pasteur Institute for the presence of retrovirus markers of population migration.

A guard of the Shey Phoksundo National Park and a Tibetan traditional healer converse about the geographical and religious meanings of various territorial markers. The cairn next to them marks out the path for yak herds moving to summer pastures. It also alerts passers-by to the dangerousness of the promontory and is a deferential testimony of humans to the spirits of the place.

Who can stop Israel’s genocide in Gaza?
An independent United Nations commission says Israel has committed genocide in Gaza.
Mass killing and injuries, destruction of infrastructure and the creation of unliveable conditions are all part of the acts that make up the crime.
And Israeli ministers have clearly demonstrated their intent through their statements, says the report.
Figure 2.4 is based on a wall painting in the main chamber of Nomarch (Governor) Amenemhat’s tomb at Beni Hasan with men loading and firing tall kilns, mixing clay with their feet, and forming vessels on the wheel.
Pottery production, based on a painting in the Tomb of Nomarch Amenemhat, Egypt, 12th Dynasty, Middle Kingdom, ca. 1880 BCE (Newberry 1893: pl. XI).
