TIGER
Tiger, king of the
forest had once lorded over its territory in India, Pakistan and Burma
for millions of years. Now, there is a great reduction in its numbers,
due not to natural phenomena but because Man has encroached into its
territory. Tiger is at present one of many endangered species of the
world.
In Shan Chronicles two brothers of Mong Mao, Hso Hkan Hpa and Hso Long
Hpa were great Shan warriors who extended the Nam Mao Long Kingdom into
many parts of Burma Proper, Assam, Manipur, Lao, parts of Thailand,
Southern Yunnan and the present day Shan State. As the name of the elder
brother signifies the brothers belonged to “the House of Hso” meaning
“the House of Tigers”.
The Shan, therefore regarded the Tiger as a very special animal and
adopted it as its emblem.
Please
save the Tiger.
Please save the Shan.
Inviting Peoples of the Shan State
With the launching of
"Shan Commongood Action Network" S.C.A.N under the web site 'loisamseep.info'
we invite peoples of the Shan State to communicate with each other and
work for the commongood of all concerned.
Let us together search for the truth and live with reason and
conscience,
and refrain from being indoctrinated by ill- meaning individuals.
Let us broaden our knowledge through exchange of ideas; all ideas are
worthy of consideration without prejudices.
The Shan State is the home of different ethnic groups - the spirit then
is
of respect for diversity and of mutual co-existence. This spirit is very
important if we are to live in peace and harmony
Although each group has its own history, tradition and culture all can
live
side by side with tolerance and understanding, and without a desire to
destroy or assimilate.
