The Akha people are mountain dwellers originally from Tibet. Today, the Akhas reside in the mountains of China, where the government has assimilated them to the Hani, in Thailand, where they are included in the hill tribes (a term with a pejorative connotation that has been abandoned in favor of Hill People), in Laos, where they are called Lao sung, and in Myanmar (Burma), where they are called Kaw, or Akha-Ekaw.
