Revision as of 12:38, 20 May 2006 by Mr Tan (talk | contribs) (moved Mishing People to Mishing: convinent name)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Mishings are an enthnic group in the state of Assam. They were earlier called Miris, a term that should not be used now.
The Mishings are ethnically close to the Adis and the Nishis 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.
