Ca Dong People
The Ca Dong are the main ethnic group of Trà Leng, with a long-standing presence in the 1,500m highlands. Ca Dong parents plant cinnamon as a "legacy" for their children, preserving the sound of gongs, brocade weaving arts and traditional festivals deeply rooted in the Trường Sơn great forest.
Xơ Đăng People
The Xơ Đăng people in Trà Leng, belonging to the Ca Dong group, have a rich cultural life with seasonal festival systems and polytheistic beliefs related to forests, rivers, and mountains. They preserve many folk melodies and traditional weaving techniques, creating a unique identity amidst the vast Trường Sơn mountains.
Mơ Nông People
Although smaller in number, the Mơ Nông community makes an important contribution to Trà Leng's multi-ethnic tapestry. The Mơ Nông people have a long tradition of swidden cultivation, unique dry rice farming techniques, and communal harvest rituals that connect generations through seasons.
