- W400663140 abstract "Anthropology has a role in the new decade, that of nurturer of ethnicity. Some day in the future ethnic societies might find themselves regarding anthropologists as midwives, good to have at hand when new styles of being human are in the process of being born, ready with scissors to separate them from their parent and give a helping hand to lift them to where they can find nourishment. We have many new types of culture in the north, and this is especially so of Alaska. The new Ifiupiat culture, for example, has not lost the general form of the old but it cannot go back into the womb of pure hunting and gathering. Many Mupiat favor the opening up of the Alaska wild life refuge fbr oil exploitation simply because it would create more jobs. In this decade, economic reality dictates that a hunter cannot follow his calling without considerable mechanical equipment, which costs money. Hunters therefOre have to earn money. Strange as it may seem, some of them would advocate losing many of their hunting grounds to the oil industry because oil is a source ofjobs. At the same time, the Ifiupiat national culture has become more proud, conscious of its identity, and no longer so afraid of its shamanic gifts and other marks of culture, honoring them. These are twenty-first century gifts. Heightened levels of consciousness are occurring now, in their own way. Anthropologists have been privileged to help in this endeavor, this task of defending and honoring their people's new culture; and that kind of help-which should be invited, not forced-might well become the true role of the discipline in this decade. Such assistance may well be called advocacy anthropology, when seen as the work of presenting to central metropolitan centers the strengths and usefulness of peripheral cultures and arguing their cause in cases of iajustice. As I mentioned, anthropologists can help the new traditional societies to be born. Furthermore, we anthropologists need a warning against using fbrce in this childbirth, either in the form of supercharged investigations that will analyze human group behavior as if it were a machine, or angry willed attacks on certain human customs which enlightened central-society scholars do not agree with. At various times ethnographers have indeed entered the out-back sectors of some third wor}d country unasked, and done just that. These deeds become irnpositions that are not rnuch better than the use of armed to bring The old superseded Marxian maxim ran, force is the midwife of progress. However, an entirely different policy is in the making. It could be that a new type of anthropologist, gifted and trained in understanding and complete participation, will be able" @default.
