Description: Translation (Rita Seng Mai) Putao is the place that the British named Durand Land. In the past, people who belonged to the Dureng clan lived in their own groups. The eldest son of the Dureng clan was called Hpung Marawt, the second son was called Nawng Kasang, the third son was called La N-ga, the fourth was called Tu Binlam, and the fifth was called Myin Dingsu. There were five brothers. At that time, the British first arrived in Putao. The Hkanti Shan people came from Danai to Putao by way of the Mung Lang Sidi Hka River. They first arrived in Putao while hunting elephants. The first village they arrived at was Lang Nue Thit. After that, they arrived in Lang Dau village. Then they crossed to the side of Machyang Baw village and settled in Man Hkut village, Nam Hkam village, and Hkang Ju village. At that time, there were still many elephants in the upper area of the Mali Hka. Then the Shan people went up there and lived in Man Nue village. They crossed the Mali Hka River and also lived in Manje Hkun. They also lived in Pu Dawng village, which still exists today. When the British arrived here, they asked, "Who owns this land?" One of the Shan chiefs said, "It is our land." When the British asked the Jinghpaw chiefs and elders, they answered, "This is our land." Both claimed that this was their land. One day, the British called both the Shan people and the Jinghpaw people and asked about the land. The Shan people and the Dureng elders were in a dispute over who owned the land. The Dureng elders told the Shan people, "You are from Hkanti. Then you moved to Danai and came here by way of the Mung Lang Hka River. You arrived here while hunting elephants." They told them where they had lived and where they had moved from. They continued, "How could you dare claim that this is your land? This is our land, the land of the Dureng people!" They said those words to the Shan people in front of the British. Then the British said to the Shan people, "You are Shan from Hkanti. You are the Hkanti Shan people." The Shan people living in Putao are called the Hkanti Shan people. The British declared Putao as part of the Dureng land. We can see the name “Dureng Land” in British history. At that time, the Rawang people hadn't arrived here yet. There was only one family called Gumring Hpung in Manje Hkun. It was around the 1940s when the Rawang people arrived in this area. Before that, there were no Rawang people or the Shan people here. The Lisu people arrived in Putao only around the 1970s and 1980s. There are many Lisu people in Putao now. They still try to claim that Putao is their land. But we can see that Putao is designated as part of the Dureng land in British history. One of the elders, Chyamai Myin Naw (or Chyamai Myin Ta Tum), who was present during the dispute over land ownership, said that this is the Dureng land. I am just sharing this with you. Thank you very much. Transcription (La Ring) Ndai anhte Putao mung gaw moi lai wa sai aten hta English wa e dureng land ngu na shamying da ai mung langai mi re.
