Hi! I'm living in Cholburi, Thailand, but am interested in whether or not the people of Cheo Reo are related to the people of Tana Toraja in South Sulawesi, Indonesia.
When I visited Cheo Reo with Viet Nam Christian Service in early-1975 with my Koho staff from Lam Dong, I took some pictures, including a building which seems to be related to the Toraja style. Related people have been found in Borneo and the language in Madagascar!
On another note, I recall Phu Bon and Tracy Atwood (then IVS voluteer, later a USAID employee). There was a guy named Sprague at the time of the 1975 evacuation.
Any news from Cheo Reo since the end of the war??
Kind regards, Rich
