Bo People (China)
The Bo people (Chinese: 僰人; pinyin: Bó rén) are a small minority population in Southern China, famous for their hanging coffins.
The Bo people dominated their area for some four centuries, but were massacred by the Ming army and were thought to be extinct. However, some descendants of the Bo were found in 2005 in Xingwen County, Sichuan.

Famous quotes containing the word people:
“No other group in America has so had their identity socialized out of existence as have black women.... When black people are talked about the focus tends to be on black men; and when women are talked about the focus tends to be on white women.”
