The Kadu people (Burmese: ကဒူး/ကတူးလူမျိုး; also spelt Kado) are an ethnic group in Myanmar. They speak the Kadu language.[1] They mostly reside in the country's northwestern hills, centred around Katha, and are ethnolinguistically related to the Ganan and Sak peoples.[2][3] The Kadu traditionally cultivate rice on irrigated terraces.[4]
