Scope and content : Article by Jane Hamilton-Merritt about the lives of hill tribe peoples living in Cambodia, Myanmar, Laos and Thailand. In some countries, members of hill tribe peoples are being conscripted into national armies. These hill tribe peoples are being destroyed economically, culturally and physically. Relatively unknown to the outside world, hill tribes face the risk of extinction with no medicine, no education, no say over their fate and no means to change their slash and burn economy. Once proud peoples with a rich heritage, they are now little more than refugees.
