O Du people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The O Du is a small ethnic group of Vietnam. Most O Du live in a few villages in the Tương Dương district of the Nghệ An province of Vietnam's North Central Coast region. Their total population is more than 570.
There is also a small O Du community in Laos, but because they are not recognized as an official minority there, it is difficult to obtain information about their numbers.
They subsist mainly on slash and burn agriculture and raising cattle, augmented by hunting, gathering, and weaving. Although they originally had their own Mon Khmer language, it is no longer in use, with most O Du now speaking Thai.
