ABSTRACT
Today, much ethnography has to be multisited, because the people studied by cultural anthropologists are on the move, thanks to globalization. In this chapter we look at globalization and its eects on non-state societies, local traditions, and associated languages. We will examine the emerging concept of indigeneity, which refers to a special kind of ethnicity, one that includes a belief in aboriginality or a primordial association with a place or region. Finally, we assess the prospects for understanding processes of global change and indigeneity in the twenty-rst century.
