Lhoba

The 2,300 people of the Lhoba ethnic minority have their homes mainly in Luoyu in southeastern Tibet. The Lhobas speak a distinctive language belonging to the Tibetan Burmese language family, Chinese Tibetan language system. A few of them know the Tibetan language. Having no written script, Lhoba people used to keep records by notching wood or tying knots. People to this ethnic group were oppressed, bullied and discriminated against by the Tibetan local government, manorial lords and monasteries under feudal serfdom in Tibet. The Lhobas people are animists, believing that all things on earth have souls. Largely farmers, Lhoba men and women are skilled at making bamboo objects and other crafts. Their pilgrimages to monasteries were good opportunities for bartering. Hunting is essential to the Lhobas. Young boys start early to join adults on hunting trips. Upon reaching manhood they tracked animals in deep forests either collectively or alone. The game they caught was partly distributed among villagers, partly used for bartering and some was extorted from them bythe manorial lords. Women's status in their families, as well as in society, was particularly low, and they had no inheritance rights.
