BRIEF HISTORY OF THE KAREN PEOPLE For centuries much of the population of northern Thailand has been composed of ethnic groups commonly known as 'hilltribes'.

They were semi-nomadic people using swidden (slash and burn) farming methods, moving around on a seven year cycle. However, around 1968 the Government insisted that they must stop moving around.
