*****************************************************************************************************

Friends and colleagues: In our programming, we like to call attention to
topics not covered by others.  This time, we are pleased to bring attention
to a far corner of Bangladesh, home to a small indigenous community, in *Khumi
Lives*, the latest video feature on our nonprofit streaming-media Web site,
*The Archaeology Channel* (http://www.archaeologychannel.org).



Khumi is the smallest of the indigenous groups in the Chittagong Hill
Tractsof southeastern
Bangladesh.  In today’s age of globalization, changes are occurring in the
animist Khumi peoples’ religion, culture, lifestyle and language, raising
concern over the gradual disappearance of their unique beliefs and customs.
In this documentary, filmmakers spend a year in the lives of the Khumi as
they explore the present situation of these people within the context of a
rapidly evolving world.



This and other programs are available on TAC for your use and enjoyment.  We
urge you to support this public service by participating in our Membership (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/member.html) and Underwriting (
http://www.archaeologychannel.org/sponsor.shtml) programs.  Only with your
help can we continue and enhance our nonprofit public-education and
visitor-supported programming.  We also welcome new content partners as we
reach out to the world community.



Please forward this message to others who may be interested.
