EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the daily life of the Intha people, an ethnic minority group residing in the stunning Inle Lake in southern Burma (now Myanmar), South East Asia. Dating back to 1922, this image offers a rare glimpse into the lives of these remarkable individuals during the 1920s. The Intha people are renowned for their unique leg-rowing techniques, which are showcased in this image. The women, dressed in traditional Burmese clothing, sit gracefully in the bow of the long canoe, skillfully balancing their wares for sale. Their faces are etched with the wisdom and resilience of a people who have lived in harmony with the water for generations. The men, also dressed in traditional attire, expertly maneuver their boats using their legs, a technique that allows them to keep their hands free for fishing or other tasks. The Intha people have long relied on the lake as their source of livelihood, using it as both their dwelling and their transport. Their homes, built on stilts above the water, are visible in the background. The reflection of the homes and the surrounding greenery in the calm waters create a serene and picturesque scene. Today, the Intha people continue to live in and around Inle Lake, preserving their rich cultural heritage and traditions. This photograph serves as a reminder of the diverse and fascinating people and cultures that make up our world, and the importance of preserving and celebrating their unique stories.
