| Research Abstract |
How do forest-living peoples acquire their indigenous knowledge and subsistence technologies? This study aims to clarify characteristics of learning process of environmental knowledge and subsistence technology among shifting cultivators (The Majangir) living in Ethiopian forested area by analyzing their life courses and life histories. The results show that their acquirement of subsistence technologies, especially that of forest activities such as honey collecting and hunting, require considerable time and it causes delayed marriages and low fertility among them.
