Myanmar Portraits Tribes in Transition
In this Dec. 17, 2013 photo, 90-year-old Chin woman Le Lin, left, of Daai sub-tribe is greeted by her granddaughter and neighboring children at Kanpetlet, Chin State in Myanmar. Wedged between northeast India and the heartland of the Burmans, the majority ethnic group in Myanmar, Chin state is home to six Chin tribes and 69 sub-tribes. It is a stunningly beautiful, rugged region rising to the 10,200-foot (3,100-meter) Mt. Victoria. But it is plagued by periodic famines, threadbare infrastructure and an insurgency, now at least temporarily halted, aimed at greater autonomy from the central government.
