Akha tribe - people of the Golden Triangle { 44 images } Created 9 Apr 2010

The Akha tribe inhabits the small villages among the mountains of Burma (Myanmar), China, Laos and the northern Thailand.

Majority of the Akha people are animists and they live their lives according to their beliefs. The Shaman or the Spiritual Leader is the most important person in every Akha village. Furthermore Akha see themselves as a link in the great continuum of Akha history and they are in a very close relationship with their ancestors.

All Akha traditions and ceremonies are called "The Akha Way" and it determines their whole life - their manners, the way they treat one another, how they view sickness, how their houses look like and many more.
