Ruc, Vietnam

From series “Wildest Tribes Avoiding Civilization”
Vietnam is also famous for its severeal isolated tribes. The language of communication unites the tribes, whereas their traditions and practicies are unique. The most unusual one is the story of meeting of nothern Vietnam inhabitants with the Ruc people. The Ruc tribe was first encountered by Vietnamese soldiers during the Vietnam War against America.

Vietnamese soldiers saw “forest people” whose homes turned to have been damaged and destroyed after another bombing. Their native tropical forest had been almost completely burned. The representatives of the tribe decided to establish contacts with other residents of the State. Most of them moved to nearby towns but were unable to make contacts with local authorities since the latter tried to force the Ruc into the modern world with efforts that the Ruc people have strongly opposed.

Nowadays the tribe conduct the way of life as they used to years ago. Fishing and gathering are their traditional activity, they cultivate rice fields, raise fruit-gardens like they have done it for centuries. The Ruc adopted the settled way of life not long ago, some of them still inhabit cave systems in the jungle, others build huts. The tribesmen are still paying respect to their ancestors and worship their leader. Next - Huli Wigmen
