EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative photograph, a family of Moi tribal people, natives of the Central Highlands region in Vietnam, are depicted in their traditional attire, posing for the camera in a village setting in Saigon during the 1910s. The Moi people, also known as the M'Nong or Montagnards, are an indigenous ethnic group with a rich cultural heritage and a population of over one million. The father of the family, wearing a long, colorful skirt and a headdress adorned with feathers and beads, holds a bow and arrow in his hands, signifying his role as a hunter and provider for his family. His wife, dressed in a long, flowing skirt and a blouse, cradles their young child, while their other children play nearby. The village scene in the background reveals thatched huts, smoky fires, and villagers engaged in various activities such as farming, cooking, and crafting. Arrows and bows are strewn about, reflecting the importance of hunting in Moi culture. Despite the passage of time, this photograph offers a glimpse into the daily life of the Moi people during a period when they were still largely isolated from the outside world. The photograph also underscores the unique and diverse population of Vietnam, which is home to over 54 ethnic groups. The Moi people have faced numerous challenges over the centuries, including colonization, war, and development projects that have disrupted their traditional way of life. Today, they continue to strive for recognition and preservation of their culture and traditions. This photograph serves as a reminder of their resilience and the importance of celebrating the diversity and richness of indigenous communities around the world.
