Abstract:
Translation (Rita Seng Mai) They don't say earthslip is the disaster that Nat spirits do. They just think, "It's just a disaster. It's just an earthslip." They never say that this is what Nat spirits did. When the land is suddenly falling, we do feel frightened. We say, "You will get stuck in landslip. Be careful." But, there is almost none of landslide in the place where Kachin people live. So, they aren't scared of that. When we do farming, there is no landslide since there is no soil erosion by water. There is just a little erosion. But we never say, "Happening like that is because of Nat spirits." We feel afraid though. We are scared that if we might get stuck in landslide. We are afraid if the soil is being destroyed. Sometimes, there could be an erosion in the field. Sometimes, houses at the base of the mountain could crash down in the earthslip. But, there is no serious earthslip and landslide here like Indonesia. I think the soil here is really firm and compact. There are few people who died after getting stuck in landslides. I have never heard before. We say landslide as N'gam Gyi in Kachin language. Landslide means just like I explained. At first, the ground was like this. But after that, the ground is flat. We say it is valley. Some parts of the place are precipitous and the soil in some parts of the place is flat. Then, we call that kind of place as 'valley'. Valley. We say this as steep. That place was like this before the landslide happened. If the place becomes like this, then that is valley. And this is steep. We used to say like that. They do feel afraid. Every one is frightened the disasters like landslide and earthslip. But, they never say that it was because of someone or because of Nats. Cutting the trees down is the main cause of this disaster. After we cut trees, there is nothing to absorb and store water. When it is sunny, you can see that the ground is being cracked. Then, when it is raining, the rainwater falls there. All the water just goes in there. But, if there are trees, the rainwater just is absorbed by the roots and goes under the soil. Then, trash and fallen leaves are swept away. So, disaster like earthslide is rare to happen. And each country has its own geographical condition. It cannot be the same.
