Four reports illustrate how the method “participatory action research” can benefit Indigenous Peoples by acknowledging traditional knowledge and documenting land use and ownership for future generations.

Mapping communities, drawing timelines, collecting information through transect walking, sketching land use maps and sharing of histories. These are some of the basic practices that have been used when Indigenous communities in Myanmar participated in research on their lands and its historical use and management.

Facilitated by Christian Erni, a senior consultant with years of experience in participatory research and land mapping, the workshops resulted in the solid documentation for the indigenous communities.
