| Summary | "Indo-China and its Primitive People" by Henry Baudesson is an anthropological study written in the early 20th century. The book explores the customs, social structures, and daily lives of various indigenous tribes in Indo-China, particularly focusing on the Moï people. It aims to provide insight into their culture through firsthand observations from the author's experience living among them. The opening of the text introduces the Moï, a group of semi-civilized people inhabiting the mountainous regions of Indo-China. The author describes their characteristics, daily life, and sociocultural traits, such as their simplistic lifestyle, unique physical appearance, and lack of monetary exchange. Through anecdotes, Baudesson paints a vivid picture of their no-frills dwellings, customs of personal decoration, and distinct belief systems, including legends about their origins and interactions with nature. The rich details provided in this opening set the tone for a comprehensive account of the Moï and other primitive peoples of the region, highlighting their resilience, traditions, and the intimate connection they have with their environment.
