EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage photograph, dating back to the late 1870s, captures a Degar tribal group, also known as Montagnards, gathered together in a Central Highlands town in Vietnam. The Degar people are an ethnically diverse group of indigenous peoples residing in the highlands, and this image offers a glimpse into their rich cultural heritage. The photograph shows a crowd of Degar men, women, and children, clad in traditional attire, gathered around what appears to be a residential building or communal structure. A boy, dressed in a simple loincloth and adorned with beads and other decorative items, stands prominently in the foreground, gazing curiously at the camera. The scene is set against the backdrop of a bustling urban street, with a crowd of Degar people milling about, some carrying baskets or other belongings, while others seem to be engaged in conversation. In the distance, a road winds through the town, leading to what appears to be a scenic and perhaps more rural area. Despite the evidence of urbanization and contact with the outside world, the Degar people in this photograph retain their distinct ethnic identity, clinging to their traditional ways of life. The image offers a poignant reminder of the resilience and adaptability of indigenous peoples, even in the face of encroaching modernity and the challenges of the 19th century.
