Reading Response 8: Indigeneity
As recognized in the paper, indigeneity involves the natural existence of various things in a particular place. This response focuses on concepts of social construction and the indigeneity of how it affects the ecosystem. Based on the article, indigeneity is about the natural occurrence and existence of things in a particular place. In this case, we look at how the natural existence of various things influences the anthropology of a particular place. Some places are an advantage to have many natural resources, while others do not have enough. Regions that have excess resources existing indigenously may enjoy various advantages that some do not enjoy. In the ecosystem, the free existence of indigenous resources is an added advantage because it promotes co-existence and harmony in the system.
Beckett (2015) noted that in the paper, while addressing the concept of indigeneity, the author integrates the concept of ethnographic, which is an idea that challenges the centrality of human beings in the world. It states that human beings exist in the world freely is an example of how other indigenous things came into existence. In the same connection, we can also think of the responsibility of various natural factors that contributed to human existence. This is as forwarded by human evolution and cultural development. Evolution explains how human beings came to be in the world through various evolutional changes. I think that this paper is comprehensive in its coverage of indigeneity. It explains how original things were before human beings came to start interference. As I conclude, the author was very specific to address the issue of originality in its open context. This opens the mind of the reader to understand and get more from the paper.
