  abstract = {{T}his paper highlights the evolution of the relations between highlanders and lowlanders that took place in one of the {M}ekong's riparian eastern territories in {R}atanakiri province. {I}t contributes to knowledge and debate on the impacts of landscape transformation and dispossession on indigenous peoples and their culture in upland {C}ambodia. {T}he first section considers the legacy of the past and emphasises successive attempts of resistance. {I}t contributes to an understanding of why highlanders opted to live in a forest milieu, not isolated from outsiders but careful to maintain some distance. {T}he second section delineates the evolution of the interactions between natural ecosystems and social ecosystems in the changing tributary region. {T}he last section documents major changes that have recently occurred under the guise of development. {I}t questions the remaining possibilities for indigenous people to continue living with dignity in a shrunken territory in the present socio-political environment. {T}he conclusion proposes research orientations focusing on some neglected dimensions of indigenous cultures dealing with new forms of resistances.},
