  • Lizard for dinner.

  • Spices? Good idea!

  • wait, if i heard correctly, did you say you've eaten some snake and dog? like the dogs that are walking around in the video were going to end up as food? sorry but that's sick.

  • @silvertiger151

    yeah. I know.

    I ahvea question for him:

    How do you decide which dogs you eat, and which ones walk around the camp wagging their tails and curling up next to your feet each night after you pet them?

  • when i ate with him we cooked store bought food, but he did make the cups & chop sticks, nice place i enjoyed my stay there too

  • Blackcouqar3, I, born in village south Laos. At least 3 different tones and cultures. 5 years when I first in Yunnan, China, I met a Bai man. He said: How to enjoy flower garden with only roses. Minorities in Big China are concentrated in Yunnan, about 50 in all. But small Laos with 5 m-lions has more than 60. Thailand looks on minorities recently for it can earn money from that. I don't like people take minorities as zoo. Go, join life with them OK, but not just see and give money to them.

  • I felt that I have upset you, sorry If i did. I went to Thailand to help the minority's and went to Laos shortly after that because I realized that Business's exploit the minority and I no longer wanted to contribute to the plight of capital syndication. In Muang Sing Laos Exotissimo Travel agent gave the minorities orange pills and asking me if I had any pills to give to the villagers. I thought that this was weird the travel agent is no doctor and handing out random pills. Weird

  • Such swidden farming is not solely to hill societies, but also in lowland areas. But, due to demographic pressure, permanent farming is inevitable. However, instead of swidden, the Lao are familar with multiple cropping as we can see in Amazon: banana, mango, pine-apple, papaya, coffee and so on on the same farm. This system is very creative and good for global climate (CO2 emission problem).

  • I agree completely, Only now If Amazon crops stead in the amazon and Asian crops stead in Asia suppose to having the crop shipped to America or European countries. If wealth counties are making money framing labor exporting fancy fruits, also that minority should have Land Rights Language Rights, raise their children how they see fit. It's unethical to remove children from a village teach them a bible text of their original language,dump chemicals on the soil. Is part part of the C02problem?

  • Ratimemedia, it is ideal to let any ethnic society having its own language & letters. But, to excist amongst big neighbors, such as China, Vietnam, Thailand and so on for the case of Laos, we need unification with a central language beside language of each ethnic society. Singapore national language is English even the Singaporian are not English by race.

  • as a scholar of Dieing Languages, I agree with for the most part. What makes me unhappy and what village elders have told me about their languages is that it is unfair that their Traditional Language is being Reduced to the biblical Text. What if the languages where translated into the Declaration of human rights instead of the bible. Why are the ethnic villagers forced into the bible way of life? Bible translator gut nouns & verbs from languages destroying and distorting traditional culture.

  • Ragtimemedia, sorry for I did not know about that. Bibble for that tribe should be in the language of that tribe. I think as I am seeing Lao authority at any era does not force any ethnic society to adopt Lao. And why we have LP tone, VT tone, SV tone, PKS tone and so on with folk songs for each zone. In I-shan these songs are popularly sung. If Lao authority set down a central oppression on Laos, there will be no multiple wearing manners, dialects, and songs. We should be proud of that.

  • One month before, I stayed only one night in Muang-sing. It is very beuatifull location surrounded by mountains. The valley is occupied by Liu and Lanna people (as local people explained) and hills by other ethnics. My guider explained that Western visitors do not stay in M-S, but in the mountains. I think it is the best time for them to see. Things are changing very fast there. Modern roads are paved. Farm lands are exploited by the Chinese to plant banana...

  • Banana Pine Trees Rubber Gum Sugar cane flowers. Swidden farming hunting and gathering is far superior to any modern day agriculture methods. Swidden farm is based on healthy community forest and small kitchen gardens. Swidden requires moving farming location every 15to20 years in order to allow the farming land to reforest into jungle. This is real "Health Insurance"

  • I saw Logging Lord as you requested. it is a good film. You are Right The Logs are Gold but the Logs are more then that. The Logs or Trees are the Lungs of the planet, the trees give us a place to hunt and fish for our foods. keep the watershed healthy for clean water, Now Climate Change is upon US all

  • u fucked up my ear cunt

  • I wonder what Americans would eat if there cow's and Pigs and Chicken and farm animals have been infected with a virus. in some countires they eat what they can find for food and nothing goest to waiste. I had rabbit stew and did'nt even know untill I chow down a few bowls. still good but never wanna see how it got killed.

  • aww you don't have to said akha people eat dog (( Koria)))

  • yes, your are right.. I don't have to say that people eat dogs but I ate dog for the first time in my life because I asked to eat dog. it was really good and tasty... Just because most people in the global north don't eat dog doesn't mean that eating dog is bad. In fact so much food goes to waste in the global north because of bad distribution...

  • hi thank for replying about people eat dog, I understand what you mean , I think will some time for human to learn how is dog look when the dog look at you and you know how is dog feeling so I think people have so much time to think about dog ,,,,

  • hey avjur are you still hunt remember when you came to uk you did hunt as well ((( deer) your friend acha

  • Ive been with akha for a month! wonderfull people, drink a lot of akha water (wisky:P) loved it there.

  • Due to the fact that many Akhas have to convert to this is new world order of social consumerism, urbanism, and industry...many traditional Akha fear that the medicinal knowledge of crafting the moonshine rice wine will be lost as every day more and more wisdom is be converted to the modern new world

  • hi yeah it will be lost, just like red indian at america you think the poor tribal people can do anything to stop a new way survival , yeah we did have rices wine now you can;t make any more did you know that??? becaouse the law off rich people my father almost 100 years old the police took to jellll , and he have to paid 4000 bath just because he have rice wine what can you do???? I'm sure you mast know some one try protect akha traditional

  • Well I don't know If I can save akha Tradition,But What I would like to see for all the indinegous cultures across the globle is for them to have the ability to govern them selves( through the right of self determination)in accordance to a cultural and traditional perspective. The best I can do Is help those that want to help themselves...Empowerment of the Ancestor in action and deed
