ETHNIC GROUP INFORMATION

Origin and History: Most researchers believe the Co people are among the indigenous residents of the Truong Son – Central Highlands region.

Social Structure: Each village is led by a "già làng" (village elder), who is highly respected and followed by the community.

Marriage Customs: The Co people typically practice patrilocal residence. Family clans have clear rules about who can and cannot marry.

Funeral Customs: The deceased are buried near their homes. The mourning family shares offerings and belongings with the newly deceased.

Beliefs and Worship: They believe in spirits and deities that reside in high mountains.

Festivals and Celebrations: The buffalo sacrifice festival is the village’s most important celebration, marking the end of a shifting cultivation rice season.

Calendar System: Their calendar aligns with the Vietnamese lunar calendar but includes only ten months per year.

Music and Performing Arts: They enjoy music, particularly using a set of three gongs and string instruments like the two-string fiddle. Decorative arts flourish during festivals.

Traditional Attire: Men wear loincloths and loose-fitting shirts. Women wear wrap-around skirts and short-sleeved tops.

Cuisine: Their food is simply prepared to preserve natural flavors, with communal dining customs. Signature dishes include bamboo-tube rice, thut soup, a cot cake, sour bamboo shoots, and jar wine. Meals are often eaten by hand.

Housing: They live in long stilt houses divided into three areas: a central walkway and small rooms on either side for individual family living and communal activities.
