HISTORIC BACKGROUND OF LAND ADMINISTRATION

Until the mid of 20th century:
Nomadic way of life – main source of livelihood was pastoral live-stock production Only few settlements, very little agricultural/crop production Proprietary rights and mentality related to land ownership are much different compared to the settled way of life

Attachment to particular piece of land is rather abstract then proprietary and economic

NOMADIC FAMILY IN THE COUNTRYSIDE

Today the nomadic traditions are still very strong. Maintaining this way of life is very important for Mongolians.

HISTORIC BACKGROUND OF LAND ADMINISTRATION

    In a period of complete change beknownst to us as the Neolithic Revolution, some groups of nomads deserted their “normal” way of life and began to settle down in villages and use agrarian methods to make a living for themselves. Two examples would be the Chumash of Southern California and the San of South Africa. Although the Chumash and the San both led a gathering and hunting way of life, they are ultimately two completely different civilizations, embodying unique political organizations, social structures and hierarchies, distinct economic foundations and individual sets of differing values.…

    The Mongols were a nomadic people until 1206, when they acknowledged Temujin as the supreme leader, Genghis Khan. A huge empire was created under his rule, linking Eastern and Western Eurasia. An analysis of these documents will discuss the topic of how the Mongols expanded their empire so far in such a short time through their power of violence. This analysis will also show the admiration and respect of the Mongols by others in surrounding regions. Ultimately, this analysis will discuss how the fear from other people gave the Mongols their biggest advantage in conquering other regions to expand their enormous empire.…

During this time, intercontinental trade flourished because of the reopened trade routes, including the Silk Road. This time period is also used to describe the stabilization of the Mongol culture.

    Politics in Mongol

    During the time period from 1000-1500 C.E, the political systems of Mongols, who dominated the steps of Central Asia but also settled societies in Persia, Anatolia, and India, differed from that of China, in eastern Asia, both making a great impact of societies to follow and modern times. In order to gain deep insight on these two societies and observe who made a larger impact, these different societies must be compared. The eunuchs and mandarins of China greatly enhanced the authority of the central government where the Mongols, with the stoppage of kinships forming, were productive, but disorganized on other fronts. The decentralized government of the Mongols was no comparison to the extremely influential centralized rule of China. The land warriors of the Mongols that foraged the lands were not as productive as the great naval power of China who made extreme advancements over water. Because China was more centralized and controlled, it had had a greater influence on political systems of today compared to the Mongols.…

    Another reason for the Mongols being able to create such an extensive empire was their laws and governance. All Mongolians were governed by a law created by Genghis Khan called Yassa. Yassa means order or decree. One of the main laws in the code was that “the rank shared much of the hardship as the common man” (The Mongol Empire). This meant that all people should help others in their empire. Anyone who defied the Mongol law would meet the death penalty. Their empire was governed by a non-democratic system in which the Mongol chiefs met with Genghis khan to discuss domestic and foreign policies. They decided to create an extensive postal system in which merchants and messengers could do their jobs better. A national seal was also created. Taxes…

    Nomads on Notice

    • 781 Words
    • 4 Pages

    In "Nomads on Notice," anthropologist Daniel Stiles describes the changing lifestyle of the Gabbra pastoralist. They are one of the numerous nomadic societies that are at odds with the industrial world. The unforgiving territory of Northern Kenya is divided among several tribes. They are all very fierce when it comes to defending their territory. This is very similar to what we have learned in class, relating to the Warrior Groups. The Warrior Groups are usually young males, around twelve years of age, whom protect their land, animals, and people. This region consists of 35,000 Gabbra pastoralists. They claim the dry and salty mud flats of the Chalbi Desert and the eastern shore of Lake Turkana. The Gabbra must move often, up to ten times a year. This is due to the scarcity and temporary nature of water sources and vegetation. Camps would usually split and travel in smaller groups to accommodate the carrying capacity of the land. This is considered Pastoralism, another topic we have learned in class. Pastoralism is the ownership and control over domesticated animals that appear to be about ten thousand. They have more material items than hunting and gathering, but not as much as agriculturalists do. The Gabbra have very few possessions and can pack a settlement and be on their way within a number of hours. Gabbra societies are lead by married men. Their levels of authority are based on their age, how old they are. The main animals of Gabbra society are camels, goats, cattle, and sheep. The animals that provide milk are usually kept at the main camp. The animals that do not give milk are sent off to distant camps called fora, to prevent overgrazing. The fora serve as the border of tribal territories and they are run by young warriors, so they can prevent raids by other tribes. Pastoral societies travel in small groups, usually less than one hundred. They travel frequently, usually every season, to find the most nourishing land for their livestock.…

    In Dyer’s article, I found that there is a significant relationship between political and educational systems that affects greatly to the nomadic groups. As Dyer studied the educational policies toward Rabaris, the transhumant pastoralists of Kutch, the government provides educational services to them in order to let them become sedentary and equipping them with skills on being a modernized livestock worker. Meanwhile, Rabaris do not think having a sedentary lifestyle is a good future for them. They have no interest in being developed and sedentary because they are minorities suffering problems such as oppression by the government and the society, low social mobility and social status so they do not think the education policies can change…
