Abstract
This article aims to explain the reconstruction of an ethnic group inhabiting at religious sites from being a minority ethnic group to become a part of social structure in the traditional state of Keng Tung and Muang La, Shan State of Myanmar. The key factors in the reconstruction were legends and tales, settlement, religion, customs, and architecture of places of religious worship. These factors contributed to the ethnic group’s function as a mechanism of a traditional state.
