The Pnong are an aboriginal Cambodian minority ethnic group, found primarily in Mondulkiri province of Cambodia, and speaking a Mon-Khmer language.

The Pnong minority are normally not members of any organized religion, but instead are animists who revere nature.

A Pnong woman, thought to be Rochom P'ngieng, was discovered after presumably spending 19 years alone in the jungle.[2] Braden Pewitt has written a 106-page book to help analyze and understand how the Pnong view the world.
