DYING RACES OF MANKIND When the rich see the very poor they know it is time to buy their valuables. Cheaply. This ancient people were driven out of Tibet by the Tibetans, out of China by the Chinese and out of Burma by the Burmese. Ah Kah people are very poor and cannot offer much resistance to economic assistance. They make exquisite silver jewellery and headdresses. Treasure hunters have been buying them. Cheaply. Ah Kah people have bright shining souls. Christian missionaries have been buying them. Cheaply.
