The Toda Women’s Embroidery Enterprise
The Todas are a small but very well documented indigenous community of erstwhile buffalo pastoralists, who live atop the Nilgiri Mountains in the far northwestern area of Tamil Nadu State in South India. The Toda women’s long tradition of embroidering items of clothing—notably cloaks and loincloths—to be used within the community and as important items of exchange with neighboring indigenous communities, has developed exponentially over the past …

A Mahāyānist Movement in the Luohei Shan (Lahu Mountains) of Southwestern Yunnan
Some village communities of the mountain-dwelling, Tibeto-Burman speaking Lahu peoples support temples and an associated priesthood, whose principal purpose is to honour their creator-divinity G'ui sha. Neither temples nor ritual devotion to a High God are commonly present among the Lahu people's upland neighbours. Relatively small spirit shrines are the principal form of ritual architecture and high gods are typically seen as being unconcerned w…

From the Mountains and the Interiors
Twenty-five years ago, in 1970, when the first volume of the Journal of South-East Asian Studies made its appearance, I was living in a rather remote mountain village in Phrao district, northern Thailand, about to complete a four-year field project with the Lahu Nyi. I was one of close to a dozen social and cultural anthropologists, at various stages in their professional careers from Ph.D. candidates (such as myself) to seasoned professionals (l…

Place and Emotion in Northern Thai Ritual Behavior
In Mountain and Ulu
Introduction This paper deals with the origin and development of central government concern for remote ethnic minority peoples in Thailand and Malaysia.1 It discusses the manner in which the Royal Thai Government has approached problems of the socio-economic development and political integration of its 350,000 upland-dwelling minority peoples in the north of the kingdom2 and compares this information with the record of the Federal Government of M…
The Production and Use of Opium in the Northern Thai Uplands
The country of north Thailand provides a home and/or liveli hood for well over half a million, perhaps now closer to three-quarters of a million people.1 About 350,000 or more of these uplanders are members of one or another of the traditional hill tribes of this area of northern Southeast Asia.2 True mountaineers, these groups dominate the higher elevations of the country. But lower down, there are probably at least a quarter of a million Tai3 p…
Aw̬ Ha Hku Ve
The primary purpose of this article is to present three Lahu texts, each recited by a different ritual specialist during identical rites for the recall of a wandering soul. In order to put these texts in context, I shall give a detailed account of the recall rite. It will be necessary also to explain briefly the Lahu Nyi theory of multiple souls

Three Lahu Nyi (Red Lahu) Marriage Prayers
During the course of my anthropological fieldwork among the Lahu people in the hills of north Thailand, I devoted much time to the recording and translation of ritual prayers and chants. Analysis of these texts was of fundamental importance in my studies of Lahu religious ideas, for often the ritual word made clear what remained nebulous in the ritual act or in everyday language. But apart from their usefulness in explanation, the ritual texts ar…
Lahu Nyi (Red Lahu) funerary chants
The two texts presented here are part of a rich corpus of Lahu Nyi (Red Lahu) ritual prayers and chants, some of which I was able to record during the course of my anthropological investigations among these Tibeto-Burman-speaking hill folk in the mountains of north Thailand. As I have stated in two previous contributions to this Journal , I am concerned to preserve these texts as a valuable contemporary expression of the cultural heritage of this…
