Indicates Lua attitudes toward the rest of the world and some of the physical and symbolic boundaries between Lua villages and non-Lua groups. Discusses cultural differences within the village community. Details three major community-wide ceremonies: calling the souls to the village, chasing the bad spirits, and feeding the village guardian spirits-Phi-Ta ngain.
