Ron Ruggles Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia - Executives of the 24-unit BD's Mongolian Barbeque chain of Ferndale, Mich., have agreed to open a franchised branch here in Mongolia's capital, to provide an ongoing exchange of operational ideas and to benefit a local youth organization. Billy Downs, president of BD's, and three members of his management team visited Mongolia in September to iron out details of the deal with Esunmunkh Myagmar, who owns and operates the year-old Modern Nomads restaurant in Ulaanbaatar. Myagmar also is founder, president and executive director of the Mongolian Youth Development Centre, which helps disadvantaged and at-risk children and teens in the capital city of more than 900,000. The franchise project is expected to open next spring. BD's currently has 10 company-owned restaurants and 14 franchised stores, with a new store to open this fall in Carmel, Ind. "BD's has been very fortunate over the past 10 years to have a great business and to be very profitable," Downs said. "We've always wanted to find a way to have a connection with and actually to do some good in Mongolia." The nation has suffered economically since the breakup of the former Soviet Union, with high unemployment levels and thousands of orphaned youths on the streets of the capital in a country dominated by the Gobi Desert and a nomadic herding culture. Mongolia since 1991 has had a democratic government.

The Mongolian script was created in the early 13th century on the basis of the script of Huihu or ancient Uygur, which was revised and developed a century later into the form used to this day. ¡¡¡¡The largest Mongolian area, the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region with its capital at Hohhot, was founded on May 1, 1947, as the earliest such establishment in China. This vast and rich expanse of land is inhabited by 21,780,000 people, of whom about 2 million are Mongolians and the rest Hans, Huis, Manchus, Daurs, Ewenkis, Oroqens and Koreans. ¡¡¡¡Following the founding of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region, autonomous prefectures and counties were established in other provinces where Mongolians live in large communities. These include the two Mongolian autonomous prefectures of Boertala and Bayinguoleng in Xinjiang, the Mongolian and Kazak Autonomous Prefecture in Qinghai, and the seven autonomous counties in Xinjiang, Qinghai, Gansu, Heilongjiang, Jilin and Liaoning. Enjoying the same rights as all other nationalities in China, the Mongolians are joining them in running the country as its true masters.

IIAS IIAS Newsletter Online No. 26 Regions ... Central Asia Reindeer People Ancient Roots of Mongolian Traditions * By ZANDAN ENEBISH I ndeed, in times like these it is virtually impossible to catch a glimpse of the unique Mongolian traditions and the many different tribes and ethnic minorities by whom they are practised. However, in a few cases, we can still see how Mongolian tribes live and observe their nomadic customs. The nomads in Khuvsgul province, for example, still keep their traditional customs today. Studies related to discovering the roots of Mongolian culture are essential if a better understanding of the Mongolian nomadic tradition is to be gained. In my opinion, one place to begin in this endeavour is with the Tsaatan people of Khuvsgul province, some of whom I visited in the summer of 2000. The Tsaatan people Along with the Darkhad and Uriankhai, the Tsaatan, or 'reindeer people', live in Khuvsgul province, located in the northwestern part of Mongolia. Scholarly discussions about Tsaatan civilization usually confine themselves to two areas: the ancient lifestyle of mankind and the ancient practises of nomadism. Attempts to deny the unique Tsaatan nomadic traditions are echoed in the sentiment that there is no nomadic tradition related to Tsaatan, and that they are a people in decline. The customs and traditions of the Tsaatan people distinguish them not only from the Darkhad and Uriankhai, for example, but also from other Mongolian nationalities. The main difference is that the lifestyle of Tsaatan nomads is defined by migration governed by the need of their reindeer. In contrast, traditional Mongolian animal husbandry is based on and determined by five kinds of domestic animals: goats, sheep, horses, camels, and cattle. The Tsataan make use of the reindeer in a number of ways; in their permanent cycle of migration, for example, they use reindeer as pack animals. Furthermore, they process reindeer milk into a variety of forms for consumption, but they do not slaughter reindeer for food. It is unknown if this is a customary restriction or whether it is the result of the reduction of the number of reindeer.

Could nomadic traditions be the key to progress? A View on Landscape Planning in Mongolia By Pieter Germeraad and Zandan Enebisch To contribute to an appropriate contemporary comprehensive approach to the development and implementation of land-use and nature-conservation management plans and policies, we have researched the role of the Mongolian culture and its traditions in the landscape occupation process. In so doing the emphasis has fallen on the interpretation of the essence and the spirit of valid rural and nomadic cultural values both in the past and the present. Tradition based on religion and law In the past Mongolian nomadic society was strongly determined by principles related to behaviour focused on surviving in the harsh environment, in which Shamanism and later (since the late sixteenth century) Lamaism played a major role. These religions emphasized the importance of living in harmony with nature, and their written texts and customs included a series of basic nomadic land-use principles and guidelines. These were related primarily to the use of land, water, soil and vegetation and simultaneously formed a framework for adjudicating related conflicts between users of the land. The leading principle for nomadic land use was related to what we may now describe as 'sustainable' principles. During the Mongolian Great Dynasty (13th century) and the Juan dynasty (15th century) stern laws were issued by the rulers of these dynasties to protect nature in Mongolia. Severe punishments could be expected if these rules were broken.

The exhibit, prepared by Sh. Tsog and R. Bayar, includes eighty photos taken between 1939 and 1945. Most of the photos were taken by P. Shagdarsuren, a war veteran during those years. Very interesting black and white photos will be displayed including photos of the visits to Mongolia by US Vice President Wallace and Mongolist Dr. Owen Lattimore in 1944, a visit which is said to have been of crucial importance for recognition of MongoliaÕs status quo by the allied powers and to President RooseveltÕs decision to accept it at Yalta Conference after WWII. The Center of Uyghur Studies, Institute of Oriental Studies, Almaty, plans to hold a Conference "Uyghur Studies in Kazakhstan: Tradition and Innovation" in late September 2005. The Conference will discuss a wide range of problems relating to Uyghur Studies from a perspective of traditional and new theoretical and methodological approaches. While the Conference is primarily planned for Central Asian scholars, experts in Uyghur Studies from other regions and countries are also welcome to participate. Since the Conference organizers are not able to cover travel, accommodation and other expenses of participants, those willing to take part in this event are kindly requested to find their own sources for funding their participation.

Language PEOPLES Archaeological finds suggest that primitive man appeared in what is now Mongolia 300,000 to 350,000 years ago and recent investigations suggest that Mongols take their origin from the Huns (or Huunu) who lived in Central Asian Countries many years ago. The term 'Mongol' only gained prominence in the early 13th Century with the emergence of the Mongolian ethnic unit and the formation of a single state. The word 'Mon gol' has two suggested meanings. The first is a geographical name 'Mon gol' which means the river Mon. The second suggestion is that it should be pronounced 'Mun gol', interpreting 'Mun' as correct, basic or true and 'gol' as pivot, centre or essence. The combination would then be 'true essence'. The development of the present ethnic composition has gone through several historical stages. The formation and disintegration of numerous military tribal alliances of ancient nomads and their mass migrations over vast expanses of the Euro-Asian steppes, resulted in the emergence of the Mongolian Nationality which consists 86% of Khalkh-Mongol tribes. The population of Mongolia consists of twenty ethnic groups although their are few differences in language. Only the Kazakhs speak in their mother tongue. Kazakhs, Derbets, Buryats and other national minorities are concentrated where they have always lived.

The Secret History of the Mongols From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia. It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with The Secret Book of the Mongols Discuss The Secret History of the Mongols is the first literary work of Mongolian culture. It is written for the royal Mongol family some time after Genghis Khan 's death in 1227 AD, by an anonymous author, originally in Uighur script, though the surviving manuscripts all derive from a Chinese transliteration and translation of the 14th century, significantly after the death of Genghis Khan on his conquests and perceptions viewed by the Mongols . The book's origin is Mongolian and like much of the texts during the period, it is somewhat folkic, poetic and not really as factual as some historians would have really wanted. The book was discovered for the West by a Russian sinologist Palladiy Kafarov in China, where it was well-known as a text for teaching Chinese to read and write Mongolian during the Ming Dynasty , and first translated into Russian. It is currently regarded as the single significant Mongolian account of the Genghis Khan in Mongolia . It is regarded as a classic literature in Mongolia Its first translation into English was Francis Woodman Cleaves
