The Orogen and Their Neighbors

The Orogen live in the Inner Mongolian Autonomous Region.  It is an area that is also shared with the Hans and Mongols.  After the Cultural Revolution, the Orogen were lifted from the "one child per family" law that was established.  The Hans, however, were not exempt from this law.  In an attempt to gain the same benefits as the Orogen, many Hans married Orogens.  This drastic incline of Han-Orogen Marriages caused a sharp decline in the Orogen population.
