Akha Zauh
The Akha Legal system is called Akha Zauh or Akha Zauh Sauh Gkhoh The Akha legal system is remembered and enhanced by elders and apprentices, all taking their due role, elders in each village. It is the chief and primary goal of all western white or chinese missionaries to displace and silence these elders. The Nyeeh Pah, one of these elders, is a woman. She is the village healer. The incredible hypocrisy of the missions is that they would label her as evil, a person bent on preserving the health and well being of the village.
The names of the elders is as follows: Akha Zauh is a law carefully followed for long life, good farming, health and civil matters of crime, marriage, death, disputes, planting the rice, harverstin the rice, healing. There is no aspect of village law that is not intertwined.
