Zomi funeral traditions remind families they are not alone


Zomi funeral traditions remind families they are not alone
Lia Elizabeth Don Tawa Nuam leads the children’s blessing at the funeral of her father, Peter Lian Pi, in 2015. She is the oldest of his three children. In the wake of the traffic accident that killed Lian Pi, the tightknit Zomi community came together around the family with traditions and immediate, practical care. The children’s mother died in a refugee camp in Thailand when the youngest child was 6 months old. The children reunited with their father in 2009. (Courtesy Francis Kham)

If the deceased had been a Christian, my ancestors would also have heard the church’s bells — either from the Catholic church or the Protestant. For animists, the gun blast would join the throb of big drums.
