Themarou people
The Thémarou is a tiny and little-known Vietic ethnic group of Laos, indigenous of the Nakai-Nam Theun National Park. Themarou people live in the upper Nam Theun River. Their current population is 47. Like many Vietic type I groups, the Themarou are in very endangered and critical livelihoods, caused by the effect of NT2 Project's relocation program for indigenous peoples.
Like the Atel and the Mlengbrou, the Themarou have a special relationship with the dholes and the crows, however they only prefer to interact with the black and yellow varieties of the dholes, and collect meat killed by these dholes.
