The origin of the Sek: implications for Tai and Vietnamese history V ETNAM NAKAI NAM THEUN CONSERVATION AREA so Map 2 Locations of Sek Villages in Nakai and Kbamkeut Journal of the Siam Society, Vol. 86, Parts 1 & 2 31
James R. Chamberlain in particular Chu, Chinese history is possible, at least from an ethnolinguistic perspective. Hopefully this will provide an ethno-historical frame into which additional data may be placed as it becomes available. Current locations of Sek and the Sach The Sek The locations of the Sek in Thailand have been amply recorded by Gedney and others so that it is not necessary to repeat that information here. In Laos, however, despite the efforts of Morev (1988), the most important and oldest locations have not been identified until recently in Chamberlain's ( 1996 and 1997) technical reports for development projects that have not been widely publicized. Furthermore, it is now clear that there are two distinct dialects of Sek, one in the district of Khamkeut in Borikhamxay Province, and one in the Province ofKhammouane. The dialect of Khamkeut emanates from the village of Na Kadok in the Subdistrict ofNam Veo who trace their origins to the village of Phu Quan (/fuu kwang/) located on a small western tributary of the Ngan Sau in the Dac Tho administrative unit ofHa Tinh, Nghe An Province in Vietnam Gust to the south ofVinh). According to villagers in Na Kadok, several families of Sek speakers still reside at this location. Speakers of this dialect are also found in Lak Xao Subdistrict, the villages of Ban Som Sanouk, Ban Nam Phao, and Ban Houay Toun; and in Khammouane 4 Subdistrict, Ban Na Tham Kwang (or Ban Nam Hoy) [see Map 2]. The second Sek dialect, the one which is found in Thailand, comes originally from Nakai District in Khammouane Province, and is still spoken in four villages there: Ban Toeng (/ trn"IJ 1 I in Gedney Text V), the subdistrict seat on the Nam Noy; Ban Na Meo; Ban Na Moey (/sin 4 naa 4 m....-ry"/ in Text IV), and Ban Beuk (/ bwk4 naa 4 trr3 / in Text IV5). The last three are all located on the Nam Pheo, a tributary of the Nam Noy. 6 During the time of the Siamese occupation, most of the Sek went to hide in Ban K wat Cheo, between Ban Yang and Ban Lorn across the border in Vietnam. 7 The ones who didn't were taken to Nakhon Phanom. The villagers at Na Meo say they have been living in their present location for 286 years. [see Map2] The Brou at Koune (the last village on the Nam Pheo and the closest one to Vietnam) relate that names of former villages there were Ban Kiin and Ban Tong Haak and that the original inhabitants were Sek. (interview with Xieng Souan, age 63, at Ban Koune, 15 Feb. 1996). The Sek village of /thruu 3 / mentioned in Gedney Text V in a doublet with /trn"I]/, is no doubt the place name known as Ban ThO, just across the border, next to the confluence of the Houay ThO and the Nam Amang. The adjacent mountain to the south is called 'Phu Kun Tho' on some maps (probably /phuu khuun thoo/ 'Mountain+ source+ ThO'). There is so far no positive identification of a city called /s:XJI] 4 / as mentioned in Text IV. The Brou center known as Meuang Bam(= /baan tab:>/= Ban Amang) is possibly located at the junction of the Nam Amang and the Houay Taco. In Gnommarath District, the villages of Pha Thoung and Phon Khene are Sek, said to have migrated originally from Ban Toeng. Other Sek villages, such as those mentioned by Morev (1988), are found in Thakhek and Hinboun Districts. Many of these appear to be composed of Sek who after having been taken to Thailand, escaped back to Laos. The Sek ofNa Kadok live adjacent to Phou Thay, Tai Theng and Tai Moey villages to the north, and to two small villages of Makang (Vietic) to the south and west. They are active gold miners. The Sek of Ban Toeng 8 live near to villages ofBrou (Katuic), the Kri (Vietic) and the Ph6ng (Vietic), while the Nam Pheo villages are bounded to the east by the aforementioned Ban Koune (Brou), and to the west by the Ph6ng. In both cases, culturally, the Sek are wetrice agriculturists who have established elaborate irrigation systems and terraced paddies. Evidence of these paddies may also be seen at the village ofNa Vang in Nakai District. Located on the Nam Mone, this village was originally established by the Sek from Na Kadok when they were hiding from the Thai soldiers. After the soldiers departed, the Sek returned to their original village and were replaced in Na Vang by more recent Brou settlers who have maintained the terraces. 32 Journal of the Siam Society, Vol. 86, Parts 1 & 2
