Description
The Akha are a hill tribe of subsistence farmers known for their artistry. Most of the remaining Akha live in small villages in the mountains of China, Laos, Myanmar and Thailand. The Akha subsist through an often destructive form of slash and burn agriculture which can result in elimination of old growth forest, native animal species and serious soil runoff problems. They are expert farmers who focus on mountain rice, corn, and soybeans that are planted in seasonal shifts. The Akha are also very efficient hunters, though their prey sometimes includes endangered species. Some Akha grew opium for income but they are increasingly building up the tourist industry.

Description
Vintage photo circa 1926 showing a North American Cree Indian gathering moss. The image, entitled "Moss for the baby bags", was captured by Edward S Curtis (1868 - 1952) as part of his project "The North American Indian". Curtis took thousands of pictures of over 80 Indian tribes to be published in 20 volumes from 1907 - 1930 with the aim of documenting as much Native American Indian traditional life as possible before that way of life disappeared. Much of the material he obtained is the only recorded history of those times. This particular image appeared in Volume 18 and the exact location where the picture was taken is unknown. Plains Indians carried their babies in a bag made of hide and filled with dry moss - the bag was tied to a cradle board which in turn was tied to the mother's back.
