Abstract

From the perspective of anthropology, this article aims to explore why movements seeking environmental preservation and religious and cultural revitalization have been launched on the island of Sumba, and how the results of this research have contributed to promoting the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially “Goal 6: Clean Water and Sanitation” and “Goal 15: Life on Land.” Sumba is one of the most sparsely populated and impoverished regions in Indonesia. Since the 2000, the process of marginalization of the Sumbanese has been drastic. They have suffered from the pressures of expanding agro-industry and mining. Most land on the beachside has been purchased and fenced off for future tourism development. Protesting the hardships, the people face, local NGOs collaborating with Sumbanese ritual specialists launched Festival Wai Humba (Festival of Sumbanese Water) in 2012. It aims not only to promote environmental protection but also to preserve the cultural heritage of Sumba, in terms of which the executive committee emphasizes the Sumbanese indigenous and local knowledge (ILK). The analysis of the Indonesian text, the prospectus of the fifth FWH, is important to understand the whole festival. Other data I discuss here were collected mainly by the qualitative research method. I interviewed the festival committee members and other attendants and conducted participant observation in various activities during the festival. The research shows the importance of a network connecting local communities all over Sumba and the translation of ILK into more adaptable and understandable knowledge. These two points are made possible by the collaboration between community leaders and NGOs, which is needed to negotiate with local and central governments and private companies.
印尼原住民与地方知识促进可持续发展目标:以印尼文化节为例
本文旨在从人类学的角度探讨为何在松巴岛上发起了环境保护和宗教文化复兴运动,以及这项研究的结果如何有助于促进联合国可持续发展目标(sdg),特别是“目标6:清洁水和卫生设施”和“目标15:陆地上的生命”。松巴是印尼人口最稀少、最贫困的地区之一。自2000年以来,桑班纳人被边缘化的过程非常激烈。他们承受着扩大农用工业和采矿业的压力。海滨的大部分土地已被购买,并被围起来用于未来的旅游业发展。为了抗议人们所面临的困难,当地非政府组织与当地仪式专家合作,于2012年发起了“水节”(Festival Wai Humba)。它不仅旨在促进环境保护,而且还旨在保护松巴的文化遗产,在这方面,执行委员会强调了松巴土著和当地知识(ILK)。分析印尼语文本,即第五届FWH的章程,对了解整个节日很重要。我在这里讨论的其他数据主要是通过定性研究方法收集的。我采访了节日委员会成员和其他工作人员,并对节日期间的各种活动进行了参与观察。该研究显示了连接整个松巴地区当地社区的网络的重要性,以及将ILK转化为更具适应性和可理解的知识的重要性。这两点都是通过社区领袖和非政府组织的合作实现的,这需要与地方和中央政府以及私营企业进行谈判。
