The Kachins: Their Customs And Traditions is a book written by Ola Hanson and published in 1913. The book provides an in-depth exploration of the customs and traditions of the Kachin people, a hill tribe living in the northern part of Burma (now Myanmar) and the southern part of China. Hanson draws on his personal experiences living among the Kachins, as well as on extensive research and interviews with Kachin elders, to provide a comprehensive overview of their way of life. The book covers a wide range of topics, including Kachin history, religion, social organization, marriage customs, festivals, and hunting practices. The author also delves into the Kachin belief system, which is heavily influenced by animism and ancestor worship. He describes their unique approach to divination, which involves the use of chicken bones and other natural objects, and provides detailed accounts of Kachin rituals and ceremonies.Overall, The Kachins: Their Customs And Traditions is a valuable resource for anyone interested in learning more about this fascinating culture. Hanson’s vivid descriptions and personal anecdotes bring the Kachin way of life to life, making it an engaging and informative read for scholars, anthropologists, and general readers alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
