Looking forward to reading the next in this series. Two related questions provoked by your post. 1) Do you see the #/@reclaiming Sherpa movement still gaining momentum in 2017, or has it slowed down or mutated since 2013? 2) Do you feel like you have a different “Sherpa perspective” as an anthropologiest living in the US now, compared to other Sherpas of your same age/background who might not have left their local home area or the KTM valley? Just wondering how much of the reclaiming Sherpa is coming from the region, versus expats and others who left their home communities for school or work?

I’ve been trying, could be successfully, to see Sherpa not as guides or as porters (although they sometimes function as ones..)..
The whole Himalaya is a interesting region. Full of hidden knowledge and wisdom.
So, now maybe it’s time to change the way of seeing..
