Documenting Wa (lawa) Plants
     and Herbs for Food and Medicine
           in Awa Mountains

Report Authors: BAI Zhihong & CHEN Xueli
Institution: Yunnan University
Email: baiz@ynu.edu.cn
Aims and Objectives
• to document edible parts of plants and fruits in the natural
  habitats of the Wa people in China along the Sino-
  Myanmar border in digital format.
• to incorporate the research process as well as research
  outcomes into the teaching of undergraduate and MA
  students and database construction at the University.
• to build capacity by involving Wa women whose role in
  feeding their families and communities have rarely been
  acknowledged.
• to raise awareness of the value of Wa local knowledge
  among university students, local government officials
  and ordinary villagers, especially those who have been
  misguided by an evolutionary paradigm and ethnocentric
  ideology.
Methodology

Focus-group interview
  In-depth interview
 Qualitative analysis
Implementation

local healthcare officials
  fieldwork sites & map
      village healers
           patients
    classroom teaching
• Pre-fieldwork training, discussing topics & methods for
  data collection.
• 12 students (5 MA) involved in different trips in 7
  villages; 5 local doctors involved;

• available plants were quite similar; yet differences were
  huge;

• data collected is currently integrated into the teaching of
  undergraduate students in two courses: Anthropological
  Theories (for anthropology majors), and Anthropology
  and Modern Life (for non-anthropology majors) .
Outcomes
Expected outcomes
• a colored booklet and CDs (in process);

• add teaching and learning materials to Yunnan
  University library and the digital database of the
  research school (in process);

• hopefully, used as ex-curriculum materials in
  primary schools and high schools in these three
  counties
Outcomes attained
• a process of teaching and learning by participating
  into lived experiences and affirming LK during the
  data-collection process;

• empowering students and strengthening confidence
  in traditional culture and LK in Wa communities to
  some degree;

• enriching teaching resources in classrooms
Applications/Outputs
Classroom teaching
• Anthropological Theories (anthro undergrad. majors)
     Structuralism: indigenous taxonomy
     Gender Studies: women’s role
• Anthropology and Modern Life (non-anthro undergrad.
  majors)
     Structuralism: indigenous taxonomy
     Gender Studies: women’s role
     Anthro and Environment
• Gender studies for anthro-major MA students
Fieldwork: coursework & in the field


• Classroom teaching: Fieldwork
  methodology (both undergrad. & postgrad.)

• In the field
Conclusions
• Getting foot in the village was an eye-opening
  experience; focusing on plants and herbs but
• multiple fieldwork trips were essential;
• our interest in LK and our interview itself raised
  awareness and promoted self-confidence among LK
  holders whether old or young;
• shrinking bio-diversity due to mass production of
  cash crops was overwhelming;
• further research was needed, in particular, to
  develop methodological strategies to overcome
  social constrains and data limitations;
• limited expertise in healing ailments;
• traditional healers welcome us as
  patients/clients, but not researchers.
• conflicting names and usages

• ordinary villages who can be important LK
  holders;
• language barrier and availability of Wa women
Recommendations
• Research ethics
• Local transportation
• Intoxication
• Need qualitative research

Thank you!

  • 6. • Pre-fieldwork training, discussing topics & methods for data collection. • 12 students (5 MA) involved in different trips in 7 villages; 5 local doctors involved; • available plants were quite similar; yet differences were huge; • data collected is currently integrated into the teaching of undergraduate students in two courses: Anthropological Theories (for anthropology majors), and Anthropology and Modern Life (for non-anthropology majors) .
  • 8. Expected outcomes • a colored booklet and CDs (in process); • add teaching and learning materials to Yunnan University library and the digital database of the research school (in process); • hopefully, used as ex-curriculum materials in primary schools and high schools in these three counties
  • 9. Outcomes attained • a process of teaching and learning by participating into lived experiences and affirming LK during the data-collection process; • empowering students and strengthening confidence in traditional culture and LK in Wa communities to some degree; • enriching teaching resources in classrooms
  • 11. Classroom teaching • Anthropological Theories (anthro undergrad. majors) Structuralism: indigenous taxonomy Gender Studies: women’s role • Anthropology and Modern Life (non-anthro undergrad. majors) Structuralism: indigenous taxonomy Gender Studies: women’s role Anthro and Environment • Gender studies for anthro-major MA students
  • 12. Fieldwork: coursework & in the field • Classroom teaching: Fieldwork methodology (both undergrad. & postgrad.) • In the field
  • 14. • Getting foot in the village was an eye-opening experience; focusing on plants and herbs but • multiple fieldwork trips were essential; • our interest in LK and our interview itself raised awareness and promoted self-confidence among LK holders whether old or young; • shrinking bio-diversity due to mass production of cash crops was overwhelming; • further research was needed, in particular, to develop methodological strategies to overcome social constrains and data limitations;
  • 15. • limited expertise in healing ailments; • traditional healers welcome us as patients/clients, but not researchers. • conflicting names and usages • ordinary villages who can be important LK holders; • language barrier and availability of Wa women
  • 17. • Research ethics • Local transportation • Intoxication • Need qualitative research
