Research was conducted in 2000-2001 and in spring 2002 in Luang Nam Tha Province, Laos, in the framework of the Research Group of the German Research Council 'Cultural diversity and the construction of polity in Southeast Asia' at the University of Münster. Additional research in 2005 was funded by the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, Taipei, and the Frobenius Institute, Frankfurt am Main. I want to express my gratitude to the members of the Institute of Cultural Research, Vientiane, its former director, Houmpanh Rattanavong, and Suksavang Simana, for making research possible. This paper was written during Postdoctoral Research at the Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, Taipei. Earlier versions of this paper were presented for the research group "Rethinking boundaries: Historical and cultural processes at the Chinese Margins", Institute of Ethnology, Academia Sinica, the 4th EUROSEAS conference, Paris 2004, and at National Tsinghua University, Xinzhu, Taiwan. I thank all discussants and Dr. Ho Ts'ui-P'ing for their suggestions.
