The Kalash are a tribe living high in the Hindu Kush mountains of NorthWest Pakistan. This book is the most complete and detailed study ever undertaken of the Kalash people. The authors, a French couple, lived among the Kalash and became so absorbed into the Kalash that they became as much as possible Kalash themselves. The woman in the partnership, Viviane Liever, even had her hair done in the Kalash way and had a black gown made in the way of Kalash women. She wore a Kalash headgear that Kalash women wear. They did this over a period of many years starting in 1976, coming to visit the Kalash valleys every one or two years with only a few gaps. The Solstice in English occurs twice each year, around June 20 and December 22, as the Sun reaches its most northerly or southerly excursion. The Kalash explain that they are looking at the sun every morning at sunrise time. As the Kalash live high in the mountains, the sun appears in between the high peaks each morning. Each day the sun appears at a slightly different place. The Kalash have names for each of these individual places in between the peaks. They look at the place in the mountains where the sun shines through. Each morning, the sun moves from 22 December to 20 June and then moves back. So the Kalash calculate the days and months of the year by these movements of the sun relative to the mountain peaks.

This is one chapter, Chapter XI, of the book "Narrative of various journeys in Balochistan, Afghanistan, the Panjab and Kalat 1826-1838" by Charles Masson. This chapter describes the "Siaposh Kafirs" or "Wearers of the Black Robes." The Siaposh Kafirs are now known as the Kalash. They inhabit three valleys in Chitral in NorthWest Pakistan. The valleys are Bumboret, Birir and Rumbur. There are now only three thousand of these Kalash left. The rest have converted to Islam. However, their numbers are increasing, with more babies being born and a decline in the infant mortality rare. There are two kinds of Kafirs: Red and Black. The Red Kafirs are now called the Nuristanis. They inhabit the area of Nuristan in Afghanistan. There are also some Nuristani villages in the far upper parts of Bumboret, Birir and Rumbur. The Black Kafirs are known for wearing Black dress. You will see references to the color Black in the pages here. For example: "The males of the infidels, whose souls are said to have been more black than their garments," This book was first published in 1844. In spite of the passage of 127 years, little has changed. The females still wear the same black outfits with a headdress made of corwie shells and they dance in the same way. There are differences of opinion as to whether the Kalash have or had the same religion as the Nuristanis and whether they are the same people. The similarities between them are that they both do not bury their dead but put their dead in wooden boxes above ground, and both sit on small wooden stools and do not sit on the ground.

This edited book provides perceptions on “indigeneity” through a global perspective. Emphasizing the contemporary and postcolonial debates on indigenous, it delves into diversity and dissonance within indigenous concepts. Through its chapters based on theoretical and empirical studies from Asian, African, and American perceptions of indigenous societies, it brings out complexity, resilience, and response of “indigenous” in the post-colonial global society. It especially looks at how these societies manage to move forward by going beyond the stigma of the colonial past. The chapters in the book are divided into three sections where they discuss indigenous cultures through interdisciplinary perspectives. The narrative approach of historical concepts and contemporary indigenous challenges within the book include anthropological, cultural, ecological, historical, literary, and legal studies. The contributions in the collection come from widely respected international scholars who are engaged in indigeneity and postcolonial questions. It allows the reader to (re)discover the theories and resilience of the indigenous societies that are historically marked and are reshaping the histories and contemporary narratives in the world. This book is of particular interest to scholars, students, policymakers, and people curious about the histories and the dynamic progress of the indigenous and indigenous societies of Africa, the Americas, and Asia.

This authoritative work sheds light on the religious world of the Kalasha people of the Birir valley in the Chitral district of Pakistan, focusing on their winter feasts, which culminate every year in a great winter solstice festival. The Kalasha are not only the last example of a pre-Islamic culture in the Hindu Kush and Karakorum mountains but also practice the last observable example anywhere in the world of an archaic Indo-European religion. In this book, Augusto S. Cacopardo takes readers inside the world of the Kalasha people. Cacopardo outlines the history and culture of this ancient but still extant people. Exploring an array of relevant literature, he enriches our understanding of their practices and beliefs through illuminating comparisons with both the Indian religious world and the religious folklore of Europe. Bringing together several disciplinary approaches and drawing on extensive ethnographic fieldwork, this book offers the first extended study of this little-known but fascinating Kalasha community. It will take its place as a standard international reference source on the anthropology, ethnography, and history of religions in Pakistan and Central South Asia.
