Y'Tlur Eban - one of the first Montagnards to work with the US during the Boun Enao experiment. He was a general in FULRO and is a close friend, he presented me with my first bracelet, a Rhade shirt and loin cloth and he makes a mean jar of numpai!
Here is is (arrow pointing to him) in the January 1965 National Geographic that details the Montagnard Uprising
Inside the long house before sleeping rooms were added. Not 100% traditional, but all of the logs were logged locally. The Yards wanted to borrow an elephant from the Asheboro zoo to put the logs up. When they were told by the STMP crew that the elephants were not for rent, the had a full on "Elephant resucue mission" planned. Only the quick thinking of a few former Mike Force NCOs were able to stop them: "Those elephants are African elephants and are no good for working"
A tractor helped get the large logs into place.
