Lhaovo are Kachins not Maru

To Whom It May Concern

Dear brother and sister of the world,

We all want mutual respect and recognition from others, that's perfectly natural for individual and as a nation and tribe. So please read this and get educated about Lhaovo people of Myanmar. If you love yourself and respect your nation, I am sure you will fully understand my feeling as I try to restore my dignity.

I am Lhaovo boy from Northern Burma(Myanmar), Kachin State. Lhaovo was previously known as Maru under the social-political situation in Myanmar. For Lhaovo's identity and dignity we would like to be addressed as Lhaovo by any mean and any circumstances.

There are seven tribes of Kachins known as Jinghpaw, Zaiwa, Lacid', Li-su , Rawang , Lhaovo and Nung. Lhaovo are Kachins but not definitely Maru. If someone keep calling Lhaovo as Maru will be considered as uncivilized and discriminated against humanity.
