【 摘 要 】

Among the Lua, an Austro-Asiatic speaking group living in Nan province in Thailand, a community prides itself on being a guarantee of prosperity for all people, overwhelmingly tai, inhabiting the territory of the former Pua principality. They claim to be the only ones able to perform the worship to the “spirits of princes”, however once exclusively performed by Tai princes. By examining the discourses and practices associated with these ancient princes and rituals addressed to them, the article attempts to explain this paradox and, more generally, to describe the complex relationships that bind Lua’ and Tai population.
