The Central Highlands of Vietnam are the abode of the Degar people who not long ago lived in a world that they themselves evolved and sustained.

Long before Cambodia, Laos, or Vietnam became nations in the modern sense, the Degar people, known collectively by the French word Montagnards, lived in this area. After the French turned over government control to the Vietnamese, Montagnard independence was destroyed. The separate Montagnard state was abolished, traditional lands were seized by ethnic Vietnamese, and Montagnard languages were replaced by Vietnamese in the schools. Today the Degar people are in danger of extinction after years of relentless repression and religious persecution.
