The word “tribe” is used to describe groups of baboons, chimpanzees and gorillas. How about : “kin-ordered societies", because that is what they are. In Suriname I used Indigenous and Maroon nations.
Thank you.

I’ve never heard of ethnography until today, this great stuff here lorenz! I personally love that there is an actual term when it comes to explaining to people the observations anthropologists make.
This site rocks btw >>> https://www.antropologi.info/

Thanks for your comment with interesting bonus info! Very encouraging for me to get feedback from the High North now as I have started blogging again after a long hiatus. Can we expect more videos from you in the field? I hope so!

Thank you for the blog post! Very encouraging to see that the video presentations from the field are being appreciated. The best thing about the talk at VANDA is… well, actually two things: 1) You see the building activity in the background, which is a result of a super cautious attitude now adopted by local and central authorities towards impacts of climate change, and hazards such as avalanches and landslides. 2) There is Line N. Ylvisåker joining me in the presentation after a while, the author of a very interesting book Verda mi smeltar, where she tackles the issue of understanding, communicating and interpreting climate change, from the perspective of a journalist and a mother-of-two. I am fed up with hearing all the time that there is no indigenous population in Svalbard - all right, but there are people who claim the place is their home, they engage and they deserve to be taken into consideration when academics are publishing and communicating the results of their ethnographic research.

Reading the statements above you will have to conclude that “tribal art” is not much better than “primitive art", is it? I would not use it and would try to find a more precise term instead. What exactly do you with to describe?

Comment from: Sarn
This subject is outside my area of expertise, so I’m asking for your advice. Is it appropriate to describe an item which used to be called ‘Primitive Art’ ‘Tribal Art’ instead? ‘Tribal Art’ seems to be the preferred term at present, but is there are better term? I would like to be accurate and communicatively effective in whatever terms I use, and this includes avoiding giving offence. Many thanks

Unfortunately, ScienticCommons no longer exists. The project was retired several years ago. Anyway thanks for the link to your journal, looks interesting! I might add it to https://www.antropologi.info/links/Main/Journals later

Hi Siavash Kasra, thanks for pointing out this issue. I have updated the links now. The original site by Michael Wesch from 2011 does not exist anymore, but some of the videos are available either in the Internet Archive or on Youtube, see the links in the post. On his university page there are links to two new exciting sites by him https://anth101.com/ and http://life101.audio/ Will have to explore them more!
