Conference by Grégoire Schlemmer

Grégoire Schlemmer is an old friend of the CCL, where he has spoken several times on his favorite subject: the concept of ethnicity and the ethnology of Phongsaly province. The few sources that mention the Ho evoke multiple and sometimes romantic origins: former Muslim caravanners from China, descendants of Uzbeks, ex-pirates, opium smugglers or remnants of the Kuomintang's nationalist troops. Who really are the Ho?
