In today’s world hunter-gatherer societies struggle with seemingly insurmountable problems: deforestation and encroachment, language loss, political domination by surrounding communities. Will they manage to survive? This book is about one such society living in the monsoon rainforests of western Nepal: the Raute. Kings of the Forest explores how this elusive ethnic group, the last hunter-gatherers of the Himalayas, maintains its traditional way of life amidst increasing pressure to assimilate. Author Jana Fortier examines Raute social strategies of survival as they roam the lower Himalayas gathering wild yams and hunting monkeys. Hunting is part of a symbiotic relationship with local Hindu farmers, who find their livelihoods threatened by the monkeys’ raids on their crops. Raute hunting helps the Hindus, who consider the monkeys sacred and are reluctant to kill the animals themselves. Fortier explores Raute beliefs about living in the forest and the central importance of foraging in their lives. She discusses Raute identity formation, nomadism, trade relations, and religious beliefs, all of which turn on the foragers’ belief in the moral goodness of their unique way of life. The book concludes with a review of issues that have long been important to anthropologists—among them, biocultural diversity and the shift from an evolutionary focus on the ideal hunter-gatherer to an interest in hunter-gatherer diversity. Kings of the Forest will be welcomed by readers of anthropology, Asian studies, environmental studies, ecology, cultural geography, and ethnic studies. It will also be eagerly read by those who recognize the critical importance of preserving and understanding the connections between biological and cultural diversity.

Excerpt from Kings of the Forest and Their Kindred Tribes: Pictures and Stories of the World's Wild Animals, Collected and Arranged for the Amusement and Instruction of Readers of All Ages, but Especially for the Young The appearance and habits of the wild animals that live in the forests of our own, and other lands can be known to most of us only through books. But our acquaintance with them need not, for this reason, be scanty or incomplete: their story is fully told. By the many Naturalists and Hunters who have visited them in their native forests and studied out all their ways. While some of these writers have never traveled beyond the boundaries of our own land, or perhaps may have even lived near our own homes, they yet find much to tell us about wild creatures which we seldom see, whose habits, except for the keen sight and patient study of these lovers of nature and her works, would never' be known. But Of far more thrilling interest, are the experiences of those who, having journeyed to foreign lands, are able, with ready pen and skillful pencil, to picture to us the beautiful, the strange - the sometimes hideous forms of savage beasts which people the dark solitudes of African and Indian forests.
