Abstract

In the vulnerability context of the indigenous inhabitants, livelihood stress is emphasized as the main pressure in this chapter. The ways indigenous people make their living are examined through a pathway lens to reveal the dynamics of their decisions. Case study, a reasonable methodology, is applied in this chapter. From October 2014 to February 2015, in-depth interviews were conducted with 60 households. The results show that although indigenous people still depend heavily on the land, land constraints do not directly affect their livelihood pathway. A holistic people-centered focus is used in this chapter to highlight the existence of household assets and the ways indigenous people mobilize these assets in their livelihood pathways. Among the assets, knowledge-experience and social position are the most important assets that affect indigenes’ potential to engage in high-value livelihoods regardless of whether it is non-agricultural or agricultural.

Habitus is a historical product and embodied subjective motivation. “The principle of these individual differences lies in the fact that, being the product of a chronologically ordered series of structuring determinations, the habitus” (Bourdieu 1977, p.86). In practice, the habitus is history turned into nature. The “unconscious” is never anything other than the forgetting of history, which history itself produces by incorporating the objective structures it produces in the second natures of habitus. In each of us, there is part of yesterday’s man, yet we do not sense this man of the past (ibid: 79).
