CVSEAS has cooperated with Toyo University, Japan, to do a research survey in Duc Trong and Don Duong, Lam Dong province from March 2010 to December 2015. The research is divided into several stages. At the end of the first stage, Dr Honda gave a report on Cil people in Don Duong district.
Cil people are under matriarchy. Their marriage took place within the clan. The bride side brought a number of assets to the groom side under the agreement and the marriage was held. However, if the boys have no land, they shall not be married. According to Dr Honda, when her husband died, the wife was entitled to get re-married, but she had to get the agreement from the family of the dead husband.
Before 1955, Cil people had the land use rights by the convention of their clans. At that time they lived in a discrete community. From 1955 to 1975, they lived in the strategic hamlets. At 8 am went to the fileds and at 16 pm they had to go back to strategic hamlets. Strategic hamlets often moved in nomadic mode. So they did not have land use rights. From 1975 to 1986, they lived in the administrative villages in nomadic mode. Their land was used by 7 year cycles. After seven years they began to burn forest land for farming. In the Doimoi period, 1986, Cil people settled and they started the land use rights. According to Dr Honda, land use rights before 1955 complied with the convention of the clans; after 1986 the land use rights have been under the laws of the government.
