CO TU PEOPLE & HISTORY
The history of the Co Tu people remains much shrouded in mystery. Until now, there has been little research on the origins of the Co Tu people. The Cotu themselves believe that their ancestors settled in the west of Quang Binh, and Quang Tri provinces. When they found cultivated land, they moved to the south. The Co Tu inhabit the mountainous regions of Central Vietnam West of Quang Nam and Da Nang right up to and over the Lao border. They are now counted amongst the smallest of Vietnam’s ethnic minority groups with a total population of just 60,000 people. They live in small villages comprising of mostly wood and rattan huts with a central common, Goul and Moong houses and practice subsistence agriculture and hunting methods.
