The Mishing is an ethnic group in the districts of North Lakhimpur, Sonitput, Dhemaji, Dibrugarh, Sibsagar, Jorhat, Golaghat, Tinsukia of Assam. A few live in Pasighat of East Siang of Arunachal Pradesh. They were earlier called Miris, a term that should not be used now.
The Mishings are ethnically close to the Adis and the Nishis, especially the Hill Miri of Arunachal Pradesh. They first entered the Assam plains in the 13th century, and the migration continued for many centuries after that.
Their chief festival is the Ali-Aye-Ligang, in the month of February, which celebrates the agicultural harvest. Most Mishing follow both the Donyi-Polo and Hinduism religions, and there are a few Christians who follow the Catholic or Baptist faith.
