-=> Quoting Michael Loo to Jim Weller <=-

 JW> Some are the outgrowth of fur trading posts and that

 ML> these places.

That has been done as much as possible along with fishing and eco
tours etc. But trophy fishing and hunting is an old rich white guy's
game and the customers are dieing off. The next generation of rich
white guys want to hike the Himalayas or watch whales, not kill
things. And eco tourism has very stiff global competition.

 JW> Others are government designed social engineering constructs.

 ML> The little villages must have been a pretty boring
 ML> no-man's land between the wilderness and so-called
 ML> civilization. A lose-lose proposition, sounds like.

It turns out that it was. A well intentioned project that has had
grave negative consequences for 2, maybe 3, generations.
 
 JW> I have a nephew who has a university degree and is

 ML> Does he visit other family elsewhere, though?

His new family is my niece's family, which includes me.
