Keeping Tradition in the Midst of Modernity: The Social Life of Indigenous Communities in Urban Areas
Main Article Content
Abstract
Indigenous communities in urban areas face various challenges in maintaining their traditions and cultural identities as urbanization rapidly progresses. While modernization offers many opportunities, many aspects of culture, such as language, traditional rituals and social structures, are in danger of being lost or marginalized. Indigenous communities are trying to adjust to these changes through various strategies, such as adapting traditional rituals in a more flexible way, using technology to introduce their culture, and building social solidarity within their groups. They continue to face various problems, including social marginalization, difficulties in accessing resources, and threats to their culture due to globalization. Urban indigenous communities show remarkable resilience in maintaining and adapting their traditions, and this provides valuable lessons on how culture can survive in the midst of modernity. Strengthening policies that support cultural diversity and providing more inclusive facilities will greatly support the survival of indigenous cultures in big cities.
