From Yams to Rice : the Dialectics of Nomadic and Sedentary among the Moken
Yams have always been a staple among the coastal and nomadic peoples in the East Indies. When the civilizing hero, G aman the Malay, was installed among the queen Sibian's people, rice became the main dish in Moken meals. By adopting Gaman, Moken society had to take up the dual challenge of rice-farming and islamization. By giving a wife to Gaman, becoming nomadic to escape from Islam and accepting to trade in order to obtain rice, the Moken have opted for a nomadic identity and ideology, which have been constructed through migrations, as they left the other maritime peoples of the Malay, Thai and Burmese coasts behind.
