This work is part of my childhood dream that comes to be true with its successful complition while I was masters student in Addis Ababa University, Department of Social Anthropology. It is a book that relates the indigenous people to the so called globalized world, whith the emphasis on glocalized perspective to the harmonious coexistance of the world. Society, environmnet, particularlly, the natural resources that have been discussed in this work were the back bone for the future of our world. The other important concept introduced in this work is that society, environment, and development are inseparable entities in the cosmos. Knowing their systems of intercation force us to properly act and live in the world. Hence, resource is to mean life, whith out which no one could be survive.
