Myanmar Portraits Tribes in Transition
In this Dec. 17, 2013 photo, Chin man Htang Ling Kaw Kay of Muun sub-tribe, center, performs a traditional dance at Kyar Do village, Chin State, Myanmar. The end of military rule three years ago and the launch of economic and political reforms are accelerating change. That is bringing opportunity and hope for a long impoverished country, but also increasing pressure on tradition in one of the most ethnically diverse nations, home to more than 140 groups and numerous sub-groupings, from sea-roaming gypsies in the south to a tribe of pygmies living in the shadows of the Himalayas.
