THE SWAHILI COAST EPISODE
By John Middleton
The half-million people known as Swahili live along the coastline of East Africa from Somalia to Mozambique. Their language is taught in the United States as a basic "African" language, but few if any Swahili ever crossed the Atlantic as slaves: they themselves exported slaves across the Indian Ocean to Arabia and the East. Who are the Swahili? Like any other peoples, they claim a particular identity, although one that has changed during their long history. They see it in ethnic terms, that of their believed place of origin. To understand this we need to know not only who they say they are and where they came from but also the roles they have played in the past and today. Most African peoples are rural farmers, with their own indigenous religions, but the Swahili are urban dwellers with a Muslim and literate civilization. For centuries, they were merchants in the ancient commerce between the interior of Africa and the countries of the Indian Ocean, dealing mainly in ivory, gold, and slaves from Africa and in cloth and beads from Asia. To their ports came sailing ships from Arabia and India and foot caravans from the African interior. The British abolition of the export of slaves in 1873 and slavery itself in 1897 in Tanzania and 1907 in Kenya destroyed much of their former economy, and their role of wealthy merchants has been taken from them during the 20th century by international companies. The Swahili merchants live in towns, many founded a thousand years ago. Other Swahili, farmers and fishermen, live in coastal villages. Each town is formed around its central mosque attended by the men (women may not enter mosques). The merchants' houses, set in narrow streets and often two or three stories high, are elaborately designed and furnished, and in the past were of great wealth and luxury, with many domestic slaves. Merchant families kept themselves ethnically "pure" by marrying only their own close kin, in expensive and elaborate weddings. With their present impoverishment most of the luxury and splendor have gone.

RIO DE JANEIRO - Rainwater collection tanks have already made clean drinking water available to more than 100,000 families in Brazil, and the goal is to build one million by 2008, to ensure water supplies for all poor households in the country's impoverished semiarid northeast.

T he planet's roughly 350 million indigenous peoples took notable steps on the international stage in the last decade. They got the world's governments to agree to create a body to represent them at the United Nations, the Permanent Forum on Indigenous Issues, and to appoint a special rapporteur responsible for their human rights. Yet the years 1995-2004, named by the UN as the Indigenous Decade, did not see a significant change in the living conditions of most "tribal", "aboriginal", "native" or "first" peoples. Calling those conditions "precarious", the UN has declared 2005-2014 a second Indigenous Decade. IPS, with its network of contributors at the UN and linked to indigenous communities worldwide, is committed to tracking the world community's efforts to do justice to the rights and aspirations of these peoples..

    See also Eastern Africa Guinea Coast Southern Africa , and Western and Central Sudan The British ban on the international slave trade and the development of Arab-Swahili caravan routes from eastern Africa shifts the trade in slaves to the east. In western Central Africa, heightened demand for local African products such as ivory, wax, and rubber allows previously subjugated or isolated peoples such as the Chokwe to rise to economic prominence and displace traditional powers such as the far-flung Lunda and Luba states . Further east, the Arab-Swahili trade also deprives these polities of the trade on which they are dependent. The emergence of numerous small-scale chiefdoms results in the production of new forms of ornate and luxurious courtly arts across Central Africa. Elsewhere, extended periods of migration in present-day Gabon and political consolidation in modern Cameroon lead to the development of new forms of funerary and courtly art. The European partition of Africa in 1884 provides state support for German, Belgian, English, and Portuguese expeditions into Central Africa that supply newly created ethnographic museums and geographic societies with specimens of material culture from the region.

    Myths about Africa, Africans, and African History: The Student's "Ten Commandments" Introduction. Many of the ten myths referred to below have become "common knowledge" and widely accepted in American society, in both Black and White communities. It is necessary to discuss and unlearn them before we proceed with learning new things about Africa. Because unlearning these popular myths is very important for learning new things about Africa, I call them the student's "Ten Commandments." Knowing that these myths are wrong should be your foundational knowledge about Africa, its peoples and history. Myth One. Africa has no ancient cultures, histories or civilizations and has therefore made no meaningful contributions to world history. Subsidiary to this, the values that Westerners hold dear today like political freedom and democracy had and have no tradition or history in Africa.
    Myth Two. Africans are primarily tribespeople; Africans are organized first and foremost into tribes while Europeans are primarily organized into nations.
    Myth Three . Africans are essentially primitive in lifestyle, art and technology because few or no innovations took or take place in Africa.

    POPULATION AND CULTURE: SWAHILI
      Swahili or Kiswahili has become the most extended indigenous language in Africa, with some 50 million speakers. Currently it is the official and national language in Tanzania. In Kenya and Uganda it is the national language, since official communications and administration use English. Thanks to the relationships of the East African countries with the neighbouring countries, Swahili is also spoken in some regions of Zambia, Malawi, Mozambique, Congo, Rwanda, Burundi, Somalia and South Africa. The name of this language has its origin in sâhils-awâhil , arab term that designated the East African coast and the islands, the region where this language was born. Swahili exhibits a great difference with the rest of native tongues: it is not actually an ethnic language, neither it is the patrimony of a given tribe. Although Swahili is the native tongue for the Bajun, Fundi, Ozi, Pate, Vumba, Mvita, Shela, Amu and Siyu, what we call the Swahili people is really a community resulting from mestization among the ancient Arabs and Persians, who reached the coast starting from the 6th century, and the coastal Bantus that had arrived nearly 1,000 years before from the inlands. The fusion gave rise to a culture, a people and a language, which in Kenya has seven dialects and three sub-dialects.

    Indigenous Knowledge and Development
    By Kristin Gilmore for the Chronicle
    Print Home Archive Français Contact Us ... Links Web Article Among the resources for indigenous peoples in the United Nations system is the Indigenous Knowledge for Development Program of the World Bank's Africa Region. The Program, which partners with over a dozen organizations, was launched in 1998 to respond to government leaders and civil society who had called for the Bank and other donors to learn from local communities at the first Global Knowledge Conference held in Toronto in June 1997.
    Indigenous knowledge (IK) is local knowledge unique to every culture or society and is the basis for local decision-making and problem solving in areas including, but not limited to, agriculture, health care, food preparation, education and natural resource management. IK is tacit knowledge traditionally held by communities rather than individuals and is commonly embedded in community practices, institutions, relationships and rituals and therefore, difficult to codify.
    According to the Program, the importance of such knowledge is fourfold. First, it provides problem-solving strategies for local communities, especially the poor. Historically, indigenous peoples have been the poorest and most excluded populations in the world. The Bank notes that there is often a high correlation between poverty and being indigenous.

    Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Would the status of being indigenous give them special rights?
    Are kanaka maoli indigenous to Hawai'i? Do they have a special relationship to the land of Hawai'i that is different from any actual or possible relationship which non-kanaka maoli might have with the land?
    Anthropological research suggests that the Polynesian islands were settled by people originating from Asia, spreading through the south Pacific, and arriving in Hawai'i very late in the process. Clearly Marquesas and Tahiti were settled long before Hawai'i. But China, Africa, and even the Americas had indigenous peoples living in those places for many thousands of years before anyone ventured into any of the Polynesian islands. So, among the peoples of the world, Polynesians have one of the shortest tenures in their so-called indigenous area. And within the Polynesian triangle, Hawai'i is one of the most recently settled island groups.
    Kanaka maoli have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of Hawai'i for hundreds of years. But millions of Americans have ancestors whose bones have been in the land of England for many centuries, and that does not give those Americans political rights in England. Indeed, some kanaka maoli have more English blood than they have kanaka maoli blood, and more ancestral English bones in the land of England for more centuries than they have ancestral kanaka maoili bones in the land of Hawai'i. Where the bones are does not determine either indigenous status or political rights.
