Christmas and the New Rice Festival
A description of the festivals and practices surrounding Christmas and the New Rice Festival, and conversations between the Lahu headman and villagers while preparing for these events. They don't work for 3-4 days around Christmas and feast on pork. For the New Rice Festival in October, they also feast on pork. One person suggests slaughtering and eating an elephant, but others say it is not good. The young men look forward to the New Rice Festival to court the women.

Oral History Interview with W. A. Henderson, September 20, 2003
Interview with W. A. (Bill) Henderson, a pilot during World War II. He discusses his time as a bombardier and navigator on a B-24 in the China-Burma-India Theater. His crew hit the bridge over River Kwai (Mae Klong) while making bombing runs along the Burma Railway and also flew runs to supply gasoline to various bases in China, India and Burma. He relates anecdotes about the food and living quarters on the bases and the time he saved his co-pilot's life. He helped his co-pilot land the plane after a bullet tore through the plane's nose wheel and injured the man's leg.
