ETHNIC GROUP INFORMATION

Origin: Have lived for a very long time in the two districts of Tương Dương and Kỳ Sơn, Nghệ An Province

Social relations:Live intermingled with the Khơ Mú and Thái peoples; clan organizations are vague; take surnames from the Thái and Lào peoples. Women do not inherit property; the custom of "ở rể" (living with the wife's family) is common.

Worship: Believe that when someone dies, their soul becomes a ghost. The household ghost stays with descendants for only one generation; altars are simple.

Performing arts: Use musical instruments of the Khơ Mú and Thái peoples such as flutes, mouth organs (khèn), gongs, and drums; perform Khơ Mú and Thái folk songs and tell historical stories.

Clothing: Modernized, following styles of the Thái and Vietnamese in the region. Traditional costumes are rarely used.

Cuisine: Typically have one breakfast and two main meals a day, usually eating sticky rice and regular rice; during poor harvests, eat tubers like yam, taro, cassava, and corn. Enjoy drinking rice wine and smoking pipe tobacco.

Housing: Previously lived in stilt houses facing the mountain, but this style no longer exists. Today, live in stilt houses similar to those of the Thái people.
