An Akha Funeral


An Akha Funeral Main Page

Men, mostly the younger ones, fill the grave with dirt. They spell each other when one gets tired. I’m also invited to grab a hoe and take a turn. I sling my camera on my back and attack the dirt mound, and the crowd’s enthusiasm ticks up a notch. Given the nature of the comments that are being made, perhaps it’s better I not know what they are saying.
