Lolo Migration From Tibet Via Burma
Some Loloish tribes such as the Lisu arrived in Thailand as recent as 100 years ago, while others came at a much earlier date. The Lolo are believed to be descended from the ancient Qiang people of western China, who are also said to be the ancestors of the Tibetan, Naxi and Qiang peoples. They migrated from Southeastern Tibet through Sichuan and into Yunnan Province, where their largest populations can be found today.
