Abstract: Contemporary hunter-gatherers are a product of not only their
work, but also of how they think about their work. They live in a cultural
as well as material world and that part of hunter-gatherer sociality will be
explored in this lecture. Living in subtropical Himalayan foothills, the
Raute and Raji represent two modern hunter-gatherer peoples who continue to
hunt monkey and porcupine as their main forms of subsistence. In this
lecture, I situate their particular foraging strategies in light of
different state interventions and environmental conditions. I conclude that
while each group pursues distinctive foraging strategies, both groups
maintain similar ideologies about animals as social others equal to
themselves in a cosmological world order.
