EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, taken in the late 1800s, captures a Degar tribal group, also known as Montagnards, gathered together in a residential area of their town in the Central Highlands of Vietnam. The Degar people are an indigenous group, and the term Montagnard is an umbrella term used to describe various ethnicities living in the region. The group is seen standing in front of what appears to be a traditional Degar residence, with a thatched roof and a simple wooden structure. The Degar people were known for their self-sufficient lifestyle, living in the mountains and valleys of the Central Highlands, and were primarily agriculturalists. The photograph offers a glimpse into the Degar people's heritage and culture, with the adults dressed in traditional clothing and the children playing nearby. The group's leader, identifiable by his headdress and clothing, stands proudly in the center, leading his people. The photograph also reveals the presence of a road and a building in the background, suggesting the influence of urbanization and the encroachment of modernity into their traditional way of life. Despite the scenic beauty of the Central Highlands, the Degar people faced challenges in the late 19th century, including colonization by the French and the forced assimilation of their culture. This photograph serves as a reminder of their rich heritage and the importance of preserving the traditions and cultures of indigenous peoples around the world.
