Besides Ba Na Kon Tum there are several other Ba Na such as Ba Na Go La, Ba Na Na Ko. Each of the names implies different inhabiting location or the name of a particular occupation of the Ba Na people.

Visitors to a Ba Na village are to see beautiful wooden houses on stilt, which have different shapes and sizes. They are either quadrilateral or square. The staircase leading to a house is made of a tree trunk. Each of the steps is meticulously chiseled, which reflects the carving skills of Ba Na men.

The Ba Na people are the first among the ethnic minority groups in the Central Highlands to own written language and how to use buffaloes and cows to plough their fields.

However their lifestyle remains very primitive. They just pestle a small amount of rice sufficient to feed the whole family in a day. The Ba Na people are famous for their hunting skill. Visitors to any houses can see there are several wooden bows and pots of arrows hang on the wall. Like any other ethnic minority peoples on the Central Highlands the Ba Na people always keep a big fire in the middle of their houses. The fire that is always kept alive is where family members and friends sit around to have drink, food and talks. The fire also keeps warm for those who sleep around it at cold nights.

Most of the male Ba Na people have scars on their chest. These are self-inflicted wounds. The man inflicts himself by piercing the burning end of a timber into his chest or cutting himself with a sharp knife when a family member is dead. That is to demonstrate his pains over the lost of the deceased.
