Kơ Ho Folktales
Through the collection of Kơ Ho folktales, we can gain insight into the richness and diversity of successive cultural layers that have interacted, blended, and enriched one another throughout the long history of ethnic communities in Lâm Đồng and the Central Highlands. These cultural layers range from the swidden agriculture traditions of the highland regions to the wet rice cultivation culture and the coastal cultural influences.
In addition to the indigenous cultural foundations created by the ancestors of these ethnic minority peoples, history has also witnessed the exchange and integration of new cultural elements introduced by the Chăm and Vietnamese people. The treasury of Kơ Ho folktales and their cultural heritage as a whole serve as a testament to this dynamic cultural evolution.
