Lishipa tribe
The Lishipa is a tribal group found in the Dirang area in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh in India.
Origin[edit]
They are ethnically related to both the Chugpa and Monpa, in which they are officially classified as a tribe of the Monpa.[1]
However, the relative affinity of their linguistic origins to the Sherdukpen, Sulung and Bugun that rendered their distinct identity from the Monpas. The tribe boasts about 1,000 individuals.[2]
