What are some interesting indigenous, tribal, or aboriginal groups in Laos or Cambodia


What are some interesting indigenous, tribal, or aboriginal groups in Laos or Cambodia?
I have to design a 40 minute lesson plan on a cultural aspect of either Laos or Cambodia, and I would be really interested in doing some kind of tribal or indigenous group (other than the Hmong people). Any information of interest?? If there is some sort of group that's knowledgeable about living off the land, etc that would be of particular interest. Thanks!!!

Dont know about Loas apart form the Hmong but there are Kham an Austronesian speaking group descended from the old Khampa realm in eastern Cambodia. They probably predate the Viet and Khmer.
