    The Mising are an indigenous tribal community inhabiting 11 districts of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh. They were earlier called Miris in historical days and the Constitution of India still refers to them as Miris. Miri is the older name and traces back to the ancestor Abotani. Misings are recognised as a Scheduled Tribe by the Indian government under the name 'Miri'. Mising derives from two words 'Mi' and 'Yasing'. 'Mi' means 'men, while 'yasing' means fair or worthy, so 'Mising' means a 'worthy man'. To depict other indigenous Assamese communities the word 'Mipak' is used extensively.
