The Karen (Kariang, Yang) live in the foothills in bamboo houses raised on stilts. Beneath their houses live their domestic animals: pigs, chickens, and buffaloes. Like all the tribes, they are skilled farmers who practice crop rotation, and use tame elephants to help them clear land. They also hunt for game using spears and crossbows. Karen women are skilled in sewing and dyeing, and dress in white blouse-sarong combinations with colorful patterns or beads for trim. They wear their long hair tied back in a bun and covered with white scarves. The Karen are gentle, peaceful, and cooperative people, who, like all the Hilltribes, reserve their highest veneration for their ancestors and living elders.
