"You [replace with] must teach your children that the [replace with] ground beneath their feet is the [replace with] ashes of our grandfathers. So that [replace with] they will respect the land, tell [replace with] your children that the earth is rich [replace with] with the lives of our kin. Teach [replace with] your children that we have taught [replace with] our children that the earth is our [replace with] mother. Whatever befalls the earth [replace with] befalls the sons of earth. If men [replace with] spit upon the ground, they spit upon [replace with] themselves."

Bawm, The a small [replace with] tribe in chittagong hill tracts. Ethnically, Bawms belong to the Mongolian [replace with] stock. They look like the chakmas and the marmas. The word Bawm means ties. [replace with] The concept of such ties has developed from their culture of doing [replace with] collectively all things of life, including hunting, singing and dancing, [replace with] eating and drinking or offering homage to gods. Bawms live in 70 villages of [replace with] ruma, thanchi, rwoangcchari and bandarban Sadar upazilas of Bandarban [replace with] district. According to the census of 1991, there are 1,349 Bawm families in [replace with] Bangladesh with a total population 6,978.

[replace with] Social System:

[replace with]

[replace with] Social Structure:  Bawms [replace with] are very gentle in nature. They have their own social structure to regulate [replace with] their conduct and settle disputes. They do not go to court or to any [replace with] government agency to settle disputes. They regulate their life according to [replace with] their own customary laws.

[replace with]

[replace with] Livelihood: [replace with] Bawms have little interaction with Bangalis. The Marmas and Arakanese of the [replace with] Bandarban district call the Bawms Langi or Langay. The main occupation of [replace with] the Bawms is jhum cultivation on the slopes of hills. They grow paddy, [replace with] papaya, banana, vegetables and some other crops. Bawms love to live in dense [replace with] forests and rarely come to the plains. The scarcity of land for jhum [replace with] cultivation and gradual deforestation have affected the lifestyle of the [replace with] Bawms to a great extent. Many Bawm children now attend schools. Christian [replace with] missionaries have been propagating christianity among the Bawms since the [replace with] middle of the 19th century. Almost all Bawms have now become Christians.

[replace with]


[replace with] Lifestyle: In the past, the Bawms would build their houses [replace with] on hilltops away from the rivers. They used to fortify their villages with [replace with] fences of tree trunks. Their houses are called machang and are made of [replace with] bamboo and timber and erected on a high platform. Bawm society is [replace with] patriarchal. A significant element in Bawm culture is the bamboo dance. It [replace with] is performed only when there is a tragedy in the family, especially in the [replace with] case of an unnatural death. Through this dance Bawms console their families.
