    Extractions: Vietnam Museum of Ethnology is both a research centre and a public museum exhibiting the ethnic groups of Vietnam. The mission of the Museum is scientific research, collection, documentation, conservation, exhibition and preserving the cultural and historic patrimony of the nation’s different ethnic groups. The museum also serves to guide research, conservation, and technology that are specific to the work of an ethnographic museum. v Establishment Vietnam is a multi-ethnic country, which is composed of 54 ethnic groups. Perceiving the importance of having an ethnographic museum to preserve and present the cultural heritages of ethnic groups, the Government decided to establish a museum of ethnology in Hanoi. The Proposal for the Vietnam Museum of Ethnology was officially approved on December 14, 1987. Land was allocated for construction: in 1987, 2,500m2 and in 1988, 9,500m2. Then, in 1990, the Prime Minister decided to allocate the entire 3,27 acres of land to the Museum.

    Extractions: VietnamWar.com Ethnology Ethnology The scientific study of the origin and functioning of human cultures. It is usually considered one of the major branches of cultural anthropology, the other two being anthropological archaeology and anthropological linguistics. In the 19th cent. ethnology was historically oriented and offered explanations for extant cultures, languages, and races in terms of diffusion, migration, and other historical processes. In the 20th cent. ethnology has focused on the comparative study of past and contemporary cultures. Since cultural phenomena can seldom be studied under conditions of experiment or control, comparative data from the total range of human behavior helps the ethnologist to avoid those assumptions about human nature that may be implicit in the dictates of any single culture. See R. H. Lowie, The History of Ethnological Theory (1938); E. A. Hoebel

    On August 1, 1990, the Graduate Institute of Border Administration, under the approval of the MOE, was transformed into the Graduate Institute of ethnology.  
    http://163.28.32.200/server/publichtmut/html/w209/ew209.html
    
    Extractions: The purpose of establishment of the department is to consolidate the union of ethnic groups, enhance cultural development, facilitate the integration of ethnic groups, fulfill the spirit of the constitution, combine academic and political development, and cultivate talent. The department¡¦s study covers a extensive range, from Chinese ethnology and build a foundation for the teaching and research of this discipline, to the its advanced theories and related policies, and the study of ethnic issues around this world as well. This curriculum design not only echoes government¡¦s current policy of ¡§foothold in Taiwan, concern for Mainland China, and eyes on the world¡¨, but also broadens, deepens, and improves the quality of ethnological research. Ethnology, the discipline of ethnology, and the teaching and research of ethnology cover the knowledge in the following fields: ethnological theories, ethnological policies, history, culture, religion, spoken and written languages, law, politics, economics (resources and development), society, education, archeology, and ethnology (the study of ethnology, ethnological history, cultural anthropology, and physical anthropology). Taking conditions and resources into consideration, the department integrates the fields above and offers different levels of training and integrated knowledge to undergraduate, master and Ph.D. students, in the hope of laying foundations for students¡¦ further development.

This necklace, or “choker,” fragment is a useful example of a piece that would likely never be included in a public exhibition due to its fragile state; however, here we are able to highlight its importance to SNOMNH’s collections and use it as a vehicle for discussion on a variety of subjects. This style choker was at one time worn by both women and men from a wide distribution of tribes found in the Midwest, specifically the around the Great Lakes and in Prairie (Eastern Plains) region. The technique used to create this choker is called side-stitch. This is a hand-woven, or more precisely “oblique interlacing” technique of beadwork that creates diagonal rows. This particular choker was constructed using black horse hair—a material that was later replaced by commercially available threads. The use of horse hair in its construction and the subsequent use by the donor’s family as a plaything have contributed to the current condition of this object.

    Extractions: PAPUA NEW GUINEA ETHNOLOGY The aboriginal Negroid Papuans, who occupied most of New Guinea, differ from the modified Melanesians of its eastern shores in many aspects of social customs, arts and crafts. The Papuans are more individualistic and democratic; they live in small, independent village communities, whose leader or headman does not submit to an hereditary territorial chieftain. They lack a comprehensive understanding of a universe and its controlling gods, and thus have no priesthood; tapu, too, is of little importance to them. Examples of Papua New Guinea art Social status is of much greater significance to the Melanesians. Both in New Guinea and the islands, there are large organised men's clubs, with grades of membership acquired partly by definite accomplishments such as head-hunting, and partly by initiation fees in the form of pigs or other food for the accompanying feast. Huge club houses, adorned with all the resources of native art, are erected, and become repositories of sacred images and trophies of war. As might be expected, women and children are rigorously excluded from them. The young men, on qualifying for membership, are allocated a compartment in the house and given a recognized place in feasts and dances; they will also be permitted to wear some distinguishing badge, such as a feather crest or an elaborately carved bark belt. A duty of membership would have been to adorn their compartments, or the special rack at the front of the club house, with skulls taken from other tribes - headhunting, therefore, and general fighting and cannibalism were rife among them.

    Extractions: SIL HOME ABOUT SIL SITE MAP SEARCH ... CONTACT US Ethnology in SIL focuses on developing cultural awareness through training and research. Developing cultural awareness by: Training in ethnology is designed to encourage cultural awareness and to develop practical field research skills. Research is fostered by providing consultant help to SIL fieldworkers, by producing regional and international ethnography publications, and by developing research software tools and support. Training is vital to the work of SIL. SIL has been training field workers for over 60 years. Cross-cultural training is a natural outgrowth of SIL's original emphasis on applied linguistic fieldwork.This training is an important ingredient for successful cross-cultural living. Most SIL schools have an intensive introduction to cultural anthropology and field methods. Also available are courses on cultural change and area studies. Instructors have MA or Ph.D. degrees from prominent universities throughout the world. In field situations, the Ethnology department provides workshops in a variety of ethnographic specialties: research techniques, cognitive studies, kinship studies, etc. These are critical for further professional development of field personnel and to encourage research production.

    A resource from TimorNet at University of Coimbra in Portugal.  
    http://www.uc.pt/timor/atop.html
    
    Extractions: This work is in construction. After an introdutory discription of the situation and limits of East Timor's composing territories, we begin with a brief history that comprises the prehistoric vestiges and a historiography regarding mainly the colonial age during which the island was object of dispute between Dutch and Portuguese, and the Japanese occupation which ocurred in World War II despite the neutrality of the territory. In respect to the land there are entries about geomorfology , geology, climate flora and fauna , and finally natural resources with a call on the importance of petrol and coffee for the economy of an independent East Timor. This is followed by an approach to the ethnological background demography and the culture of the Maubere people.

    Extractions: Rattlesnake Today, Huxley receives even less notice as an ethnologist than as a physical anthropologist. His contributions to ethnology begin with the observations he wrote in the journal and letters of the Rattlesnake voyage and with the many sketches he made of New Guinea people and of their artifacts and continued to 1890. Commentaries in his Rattlesnake diary provide material for appreciating his role as an observer and interpreter of cultures that seem to be far removed from the European, though he would devise generalizations covering both. Of the many examples in diary items, letters, and pictures, these are representative of his early ethnological interest and skill as reporter and as artistic recorder of natives and of their artifacts, canoes, huts and villages. His first drawing of a native is that of Sewan , "The little Asmodeus of a boy," a Mauritius boy sketched at Chamerelle Falls in 1847.

    The ethnology Collection at the Maxwell Museum of Anthropology originated through systematic anthropological research, collecting, and exhibitions.  
    http://www.unm.edu/~maxwell/ethnology_collections.html
    
    Extractions: While the Ethnology Collection has served as a source for scholarly research and education at the university for many years, it now shares its resources with the newly developed Alfonso Ortiz Center for Intercultural Studies. In conjunction with community partnerships and collaborative projects the Ethnology Collection provides a valuable cultural resource for the maintenance and revitalization of traditional material culture. There are 35,000 objects in the Ethnology Collection representing the indigenous peoples and diverse cultures of the Americas with an emphasis on the US Southwest, Central and South America, as well as smaller collections from the Artic, Oceania, Southeast Asia and Africa. Some of the highlights of the collection include: the collection of historic Southwest pottery from the Rio Grande and Western Pueblos; a fine collection of textiles from the Southwest including a comprehensive collection of Navajo textiles dating from the early 19th century to the late 20th century; and a significant collection of baskets from the Southwest, California, and Latin America as well as from the Pacific Northwest.
