The author focused on power-oriented relationships in forest management between the majority group and the minority groups by using a case study of the Lahu, a minority group caught in conflicts, power struggles, truth making, and contested meanings concerning the forest in order to find out how the power group fabricated truths about and defined the meanings of forest. The work analyzed operational contexts and conditions, the redefining of the truth, and the concept of space of the power group. The author viewed the power-oriented relationships as the powerful dominating the powerless by various means, e.g., force or pressure, to force the powerless to conform. However, the powerless were not complacent, but employed various strategies to reject the imposition, for instance migrating elsewhere or sacrificing some aspects of their lifestyle to comply with the imposition. Identity creation techniques through rituals and symbol creation that the Lahu use to pay respect to Ngu Sa are a means to maintain their ethnic identity.
