First Peoples of Asia

First peoples are the original people of a region. They have developed their own culture, traditions, laws and ways of life over thousands of years. Three groups of first peoples of Asia are introduced in this intriguing book: Ainu of Japan, Bali Aga of Indonesia and the Karen of Burma. First-hand accounts from elders in these cultures are presented and extracts from the UN Declaration of the Rights of Indigenous Peoples assist understanding of they live and how their lifestyles are changing.
