Traditional narrative about the origin of the Azeulam (the Azeu dance)

This is a narrative about how the Vzeu (Azeu) dance originated, recorded in Myitkyina. The Vzeu dance started when people wanted to express gratitude, so they imitated the butterflies and eagles. The speaker is from Krangku originally, but had moved to Putao several years before the time of recording. He also briefly describes the different beliefs and dances of groups in surrounding areas.
