The Akha Way or Akhazaunh, is the code by which they live. This documentary describes their origins and their culture. It contains extraordinary footage of a shaman healing ceremony; a funeral, with the ritual sacrifice of a water buffalo; the reading of a pig's liver after a new house is built, and more. Today the Akha Way is fast disappearing. Forced migration, Christianity, money and drugs are eroding the cultural heritage of the Akha tribe.<br /><br />Visit <a href="https://store.der.org/hainsfurther-sharon-c894all.aspx">Hainsfurther, Sharon</a> to see additional products in this category.</div>
