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 preliterate people. In this presentation a brief — and therefore far from exhaustive — ethnographic introduction suggests the setting for the recitation of the texts
