Forest worship: Unique feature of Na Hau’s Mong ethnic group rituals
Every year, during the final days of the first lunar month, the Mong ethnic people in Na Hau commune, Van Yen district, in Yen Bai province hold a forest worship ceremony. Not only unique and spiritually significant for blessing and preserving material and spiritual values within the Mong community, it also plays a practical role in protecting the pristine forests in the Na Hau mountains.
