Myanmar Portraits Tribes in Transition
In this Dec. 17, 2013 photo, a Baptist church stands at Kanpetlet, Chin State, in Myanmar. British colonials, who seized the Chin Hills in 1896, and American missionaries were earlier agents of change, but the indigenous groups were able to meld some of their animist religion with Christianity, and the missionaries strengthened the concept of Chin-ness by creating the first Chin written alphabet and other unifying measures.
