Description: |

Lisu earned their name as the tribe that is alive with color. In
fact, the Lisu are considered to use the greatest variety of
colors of all the hill tribes. Their confident decision-making
and independence is reflected in the way the Lisu use powerful
combinations of colors, one on top of the other, to decorate
their costumes. Often referred to as "Lisor," they refer to
themselves as "Lisu.
Originally, the Lisu were from the
area near head of the Salawan waters and the Mekong river,
located in northern Tibet and the northwest portion of Yunnan
province in the People's Republic of China. The Lisu divided
into two sub-groups: the striped Lisu and the black Lisu. Almost
all Lisu residing in Thailand are of the striped Lisu sub-group.
As for the black Lisu, they are spread out across China, Burma,
India, and Thailand. The Lisu in Thailand are scattered across
nine different provinces: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son,
Phayao, Tak, Kampaengphet, Phetchaboon, Sukhothai, and Lampang. |
