By Keith Morrison
Originally published in Art of the Americas: Art and Ethnography
(San Francisco: M.H. de Young Memorial Museum, 1998) My installation of art and ethnology tries to show how the arts of different people and different times reflect their ethnology, regardless of their cultures - even those that are Eurocentric. My thesis is that all art is inherently ethnological. Focusing on the theme of music and using art selected from the M.H. de Young Memorial Museum's permanent collection, I try to show how music is manifested differently in different cultures, or at different times in the same culture's history. I have augmented the installation with several of my own paintings that use music as a theme. One of the objects I have chosen to redefine as art is a drum from the Ngbaka people of Northern Zaire (Democratic Republic of Congo), an object the M.H. de Young Museum exhibits as ethnographic. The drum simultaneously can be a musical instrument and a work of art. Whereas Western artists often make art objects to describe or illustrate life, cultures such as the Ngbaka make the object of expression-such as the drum- one and the same as the art. We all know that drums are among the oldest instruments, common to practically every culture. The drum, worldwide, looks much the same: a conical, cylin- drical, convex, or concave tube with a bald flat top that you beat with your hand or a stick. Drums have been used by many cultures not only to make music, but also to make sounds and sonic codes. The drum is a primordial instrument of transition from sound to rhythm. When asked where jazz might end, Dizzy Gillespie replied, "Where it began, with someone playing a drum."

The Former Kingdoms The western bantou are at the origin of more Ancient kingdoms in Democratic Republic of Congo, the most known is the Kongo kingdom (15th century) and the other one is probably the Kuba kingdom (17th century). The oriental bantou began with the kingdoms Luba (16th century) and Lunda (17th century). The Kongo, Lunda, Luba, and Kuba state systems shared certain common features, I.The Kongo kingdom The Kongo Kingdom was the first state on the west coast of Central Africa to come into contact with Europeans. Portuguese sailors under Diogo Cao landed at the mouth of the Congo River in 1482 . Cao traveled from Portugal to Kongo and back several times during the 1480s, bringing missionaries to the Kongo court and taking Kongo nobles to Portugal in 1485. In the 1490s, the king of Kongo asked Portugal for missionaries and technical assistance in exchange for ivory and other desirable items, such as slaves and copperwares a relationship, ultimately detrimental to the Kongo, which continued for centuries. Competition over the slave trade had repercussions far beyond the boundaries of Kongo society. Slave-trading activities created powerful vested interests among both Africans and foreigners; the Portuguese and later the Dutch, French, British, and Arabs.

TRIBAL INFORMATION

Baule
Dan-Guerre Gilbert Islands Guro ... Zande Mangbetu
BAULE The Baule belong to the Akan peoples who inhabit Ghana and Ivory Coast. Three hundred years ago the Baule people migrated westward from Ghana when the Asante rose to power. The tale of how they broke away from the Asante has been preserved in their oral traditions. During the Asante rise to power the Baule queen, Aura Poku, was in direct competition with the current Asante king. When the Asante prevailed, the queen led her people away to the land they now occupy. The male descendant of Aura Poku still lives in the palace she established and is honored by the Baule as their nominal king.
The Baule are noted for their fine wooden sculpture, particularly for their ritual statuettes representing ghosts or spirits; these, as well as carved ceremonial masks are associated with the ancestor cult. Baule art is sophisticated and stylistically diverse. Baule have types of sculpture that none of the other Akan peoples possess: masks (which, like their low-relief doors, seem to indicate Senufo influence) and human figures, apparently sometimes used as ancestor figures.
The figures and human masks, the latter reported to be portraits used in commemorating the dead, are elegantwell polished, with elaborate hairdressings and scarification. More roughly finished are the gbekre figures, representing minor divinities in human form with animal heads. Masks are made also to represent the spirits of the bush: antelope, bush cow, elephant, monkey, and leopard. Boxes for the mouse oracle (in which sticks are disturbed by a live mouse, to give the augury) are unique to the Baule.

Within the framework of its Endangered Languages Programme, UNESCO has entered into partnership with the Discovery Communications, INC. And the UN Works Programme to produce a series of short-form programmes on various endangered languages throughout the world. (To see a photo gallery of images from the short-form programmes, go to Multimedia The purpose of this project is to raise awareness of language endangerment and disappearance, and the need to safeguard our linguistic diversity. ( Read the press release Eighteen endangered languages and locations were identified, in close consultation and co-operation with experts and the governments of the countries concerned. The vignettes were shot during the months of October/November 2002 and October/November 2003. The first nine vignettes were aired globally on the Discovery Channel on 21 February 2003, the International Mother Language Day. The stories were filmed in Argentina, Canada, India, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, Scotland and Sweden. The second series of vignettes will begin airing during the evening of February 21st 2004. These vignettes were filmed in Australia, Croatia, Gabon, Guatemala, India, Lithuania, Malaysia, Panama and South Africa.

Chapter II. General Context of the Transboundary Activity
The rationale for the creation of the Sangha River Trinational initiative is based on biological, economic, social, historical, and institutional factors, as well as ever-changing international and regional conservation strategies. No one factor on its own provides sufficient reason for an undertaking as complicated as a transboundary approach in a region characterized by problematic politics and economics, but all the factors together strongly support a more regional approach to conservation and sustainable management of natural resources. This case study provides an overview of issues and topics impacting the existing protected areas, followed by a synopsis of how these different factors interact to justify a transboundary conservation approach in the Sangha River region. A . Geography The Sangha River Trinational region falls within the tropical forests of the western Congo River basin. The Sangha River forms the international boundary between Cameroon and its neighbors Congo and the Central African Republic (
