Bahnar Family

The Cheo Reo Bahnar are fierce warriors and the other Montagnard Tribes are very leary of them. One example is that if a young couple are convicted of incestual relations, the Bahnar male is taken to the river and his head is cut off. The female and her family must sacrifice a water buffalo to the Village. Our Camp had a Bahnar Company and where of the highest caliber.
