The Khmu and their Neighbors:

The Khmu people typically live in rural villages so a good connection with their surrounding neighbors is tough, but they do manage to be involved. In past times, neighboring villages have been afraid of the Khmu and their spiritual practices since their land is considered sacred. However, in more recent times they do tend to barter and trade more with other villages involving crops, cloth, and so on. The Khmuic people will also look for work when necessary in other villages. Good relations with their neighbors is important in their culture and lifestyle because each others services is depended upon by one another. Below is a video of a Khmu village and their daily tasks to portray their village and surrounding areas.
