An Akha Funeral


An Akha Funeral Main Page

The ancestor spirits must have seen the sun and moon symbols, and the phi ma is welcoming them to the procession. He has assembled offerings including some rice, the leg of a buffalo, some small, uncooked strips of meat, and a baby chick he’s just killed with a few knocks from the blunt end of a knife.
