Every year, at the year end when rice is harvested, Ro Mam ethnic people in the Central Highlands province of Kon Tum organize their barn opening festival. The three-day festival, the biggest one of Ro Mam group, marks the end of a production cycle to honour the rice grains given to humans by Yang. The barn opening ceremony is considered as an important and mandatory ritual for bringing rice home. Ro Mam is one of the three smallest ethnic groups (including Brau, O Du and Ro Mam) in Vietnam. They now concentrate in Le village bordering Laos and Cambodia, in Mo Rai commune, Sa Thay district. With a tiny population of around 600, this Mon-Kh’mer language group lives on farming with growing sticky rice as the main crop, using simple farming methods. The group also grows ordinary rice, maize, cassava, tobacco, vegetables such as bean, pumpkin, sweet potato and fruits, including papaya, mango and banana. They raise buffalos, pigs, chickens and ducks for food and use in community rituals. Hunting and picking up forest products are another source of food supply for the group. VNA Photo: Cao Nguyên
