What is Tribes of Snow: animals and plants in the Nuosu Book of Origins about?

Nagoya: Nanzan Institute for Religion and Culture. Asian Ethnology Volume 67, Number 1 • 2008, 5–42 p. An epic narrative poem known as Hnewo tepyy (Book of Origins) holds a central place in the mythic and ritual imagination of the Nuosu people of southwest China. Existing both as oral performances and oral-connected written texts, the narrative relates the origins of the sky, earth, geographical features, and life forms—culminating in the origins of the forebears of the Nuosu people. Animals and plants populate the landscape of the narrative world, clustering in the categories of wild and domestic. Individual species tend to be associated with specific niches in the natural and human-modified landscape, their origins occurring in a dynamic of creation and destruction throughout the ages. Among the forerunners of living beings in the present age are the “tribes of snow,” catalogued in taxons comprised of wild plants and animals.
