| Title: | | Die verborgene Welt der Naga |
| Date of publication: | | 16 September 2005 |
| Description/subject: | | Im Dschungel Südostasiens lebt ein geheimnisvolles Volk
In der Abgeschiedenheit fast undurchdringlicher Regenwälder von Myanmar hat ein Volk ein einmaliges Kulturerbe bewahrt. Es beruht auf den Traditionen eines archaischen Heldentums. Auserwählte Krieger sollen die Stammesgemeinschaft vor allem Übel bewahren. Die Kraft dazu - so glauben sie - erhalten sie durch das Abschlagen eines Kopfes.

| Title: | | Human Rights, Forgotten Wars & Survival: Burma's Indigenous Peoples |
| Date of publication: | | 31 October 2000 |
| Description/subject: | | "...Burma is home to one of the world's longest-running civil wars, the victims of which have overwhelmingly been civilians living in rural areas. Every year, hundreds are killed, tens of thousands displaced, and the livelihoods of many more destroyed by the Burmese army. Hundreds of thousands of people from the Arakanese, Karen, Karenni, Mon, Shan, and other ethnic groups have sought asylum in neighboring countries, as refugees or illegal migrant workers. Widespread displacement, combined with government efforts to force fully assimilate ethnic peoples, has led many to fear for the survival of their unique languages, cultures, and traditions.
