Intha

The Intha are a people living on and around Inle Lake in southern Shan State, Myanmar. Speaking a language close to Burmese, they live in villages of stilt houses, fish by rowing with one leg wrapped around the oar, and farm floating gardens on the lake. Their traditions trace their origins to settlers from the south of Myanmar.
