The Bunong (alternatively Bunong and other spelling) are an aboriginal Cambodian minority ethnic group, found primarily in Mondulkiri province of Cambodia, and speaking a Mon–Khmer language.
The Bunong minority are normally not members of any organized religion, but instead are animists who revere nature.
Bunong in the media
A Bunong woman, thought to be Rochom P'ngieng, was discovered after presumably spending 19 years alone in the jungle.[1]
Other works about the Bunong include "Living on the margins", the publications of Nomad RSI, the documentary film Last of the Elephant Men, and the works of Frédéric Bourdier.
