Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Kachins: Their Customs and Traditions The temptation has been strong to compare the Kachin customs and religion with the practices of related tribes such as the Karens, Chins, Nagas, Garos, Mishmis and Abors. The Assam Census Report of 1891 is particularly a great storehouse furnished with material for ethnological study, and most of the border tribes there described have a great deal in common. But in a work of this kind it is best to confine ourselves to the particular people under survey. When monographs of all the principal tribes and races are before us, someone will settle down to the inviting task of giving us a comprehensive View of the whole field. The chapter on the Origin of the Kachins will probably seem too radical, as it goes contrary to many generally accepted ideas of the Kachin communal life. We are proba bly. Not ready to drop the word tribes when speaking of the five ruling families. But to Show how this simplifies matters let me quote from the Gazetteer, page 402, Chap. VII. Speaking about family names the author says It is somewhat singular that all having the same surname. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

In Chapter XIII we intend to deal with the Kachin religion, but in order to understand the subject of the next paragraphs, it is necessary to say a few words regarding the fundamentals of their belief. Like all backward races, as well as orientals in general, they have a strong faith in the invisible and are extremely superstitious. Their faith centers around supernatural beings, called nats, who are superior to man but inferior to the gods of Greek or Indian mythology. These nats correspond more closely to our ideas of demons or evil spirits; still they are not all bad, and they are capable of good deeds as well as evil. The nats determine the destiny of men. Still there are with many a belief in fate, destiny (auba), in our sense of the word. But this idea comes from the Shan and Chinese. The nats follow man from birth to death as his shadow for good or for bad. They know all his ways and if disposed can reveal his future. It is this side of their faith that demands our attention in this chapter. In order to spy behind the veil of the future the Kachins have their mediums, diviners, divinations, palmists, sorcerers and interpreters of dreams, augeries and omens. Nothing is done without first consulting the spirits. There are rules and regulations for every important event and business transaction, and not to observe the regular customs may cause bad luck and bring disfavor from the nats. The medium or nat-prophet (myihtoi). The chief oracle of the spirit world is the a/-prophet, or as he more correctly ought to be called, the medium.
