Abstract |
Phu Tai is an ethnic group who are knowledgeable in various sciences. The group has its own language and uses medicinal herbs to heal sicknesses. They have their own traditions and animistic beliefs. Young generations are taught to respect their elderly as well as to observe good manners. These ethnic cultural practices should be conserved, studied, and recorded in order to prevent them from disappearing with time.
