Behaviour and Traditions
The Kachin people are traditionally known for their fierce independence, disciplined fighting skills, complex clan inter-relations, craftsmanship, herbal healing and jungle survival skills. In recent decades, their animist beliefs have been largely supplanted by embrace of Christianity, while traditional animist emblems and pursuits have been largely re-directed into folkloric events such as the annual Manao festival in Myitkyina.
