Exploring the interplay of history, memory, and territorial cults, the narrative delves into the experiences of villagers in Houay Yong, a Tai Vat community on the Laos-Vietnam highland frontier. It seeks to elevate the voices of highlanders, emphasizing their agency and contributions to the broader historical narrative, thereby challenging conventional perspectives on history and culture in multiethnic regions.
