Description: Translation (Rita) I don't know when we started eating salt. But we eat salt. Since long time ago, we ate salt. I had no idea what people ate when they lived on Tibet plain. Since the past time, people ate salt. I don't know who eat salt. Does Chinese eat salt? Does Tibetan eat salt? Here, there is natural salty water on the mountains. There is salty water. We call it 'Sha-it' (natural salty pond). It's salty. Somewhere on the mountain, there are salty ponds. But not everywhere. We cooked that water. When it boiled, we evaporated the water and let it settle. But we didn't know how to make that salt white. It's not absolute white. It's still salty, but a little bit rough. We call it 'Sha-it'. 'It' (in Kachin) means 'salty'. There is one salty pond at 7 miles after Confluence. Many birds come there. In March and April, a lot of birds come there. They lick the salt there. They drink the salty water. But that is not so salty. If we keep boiling that water, we get salt. The Kachin people usually boil and evaporate the salty water to get salt. People from Maru Krung Nmai Hka (river) area make that water as solid. They boil the salty water first. When it evaporates, they make it as solid salt. They make it flat like jaggery. That is salty too, but still a little bit rough. After many years when Shan people brought salt, we finally got a kind of salt which we ate now. It's really smooth. As far as I remember, there is Marau salt in the up-river area. 70 or 80 miles up from Mali Hka (river), there is a river called Marau which flows to the west. There is much salt in that river. Everyone go there to get salt. People from everywhere go there. They brought some baskets with them. They carried the water from that river and cooked it. They let the water evaporate by the fire. Then, they got salt. But it is not white too. It's salty and a little bit bitter. But it's not dangerous for people to eat. It's not dangerous. We call it 'Marau salt'. There is another salt called 'Tum'. It can be found in somewhere above Nhkai Bum (mountain). That salt is white. And there is one salt mine on the way to Danai (town). People extract salt there. We call 'Langa salt'. The other one is called 'Tum salt'. We get salt from the rivers situated at the place where we live. We didn't know how to produce white salt to sell. We make salt only to eat. It was like that in the past. We didn't make sugar in the past. We ate only ready-made sugar. During World War II, English and American arrested people and let them work as a soldier. But they gave wages. They are not the same with soldiers nowadays. They didn't let their soldiers go somewhere there wasn't any fight or war. They are so systematic. They made sure their soldiers to be safe. They also gave money. Since then, we got to know what sugar was. We stole it to eat. We, Kachin, are late in every situation. We have only rules. We didn't use sugar. We didn't even know what it was. We got to eat things such as jaggery or brown slab sugar when Shan people brought those. We thought they were very delicious. The Kachin people are late in any situation. Since we worshipped Nat spirits in the past, we were very strict in rules and disciplines. But there is nothing for our development. Now, we didn't have our cultural heritage. It's because we didn't use bricks, steels or irons which could last long. We made everything with bamboos or woods. As times went past, they disappeared. It's just like that. We are just people who talk the talk. We do a lot just by words. That's it. That's all about salt.
