It consists of 14 sub-tribes, namely Ashing, Bori, Bokar, Karko, Komkar, Minyong, Millang, Pasi, Padam, Panggi, Pailibo, Ramo, Shimong and Tangam. They are predominantly inhabited in sub-tropical regions of the Siang belt and Dibang Valley of Arunachal Pradesh. They have Mongoloid features, patriarchal society and posses a strong base of traditional knowledge about forest structure and ecosystem function. They believe that all life systems on earth including human originated from Pedong Nane (the base of life and mother of mankind). They mostly follow the age old tradition of Animism known as “Donyi Polo”, and practice jhum for their agriculture. They celebrate different festivals which are essential parts of their socio-cultural life and reflect their traditions, costumes and life style of the people. The festivals are mainly celebrated for feasts, good harvest of crop, merriment and for narrating the myths, legends, folklores and mythologies.

Notes:

Ramzan et al. 2021: Pouzolzia hirta mentioned in it is an incorrect identification of P.sanguinea, P.biminia is P.triandra. Sida acuta is Corchorus capsularis, Solanum xanthocarpum is S.violaceum (evident from the photographs provided in the article). The local name for Solanum nigrum is mentioned as Kopir which might be of Solanum violaceum (need verification). 

Arya et al. 2020: Kekir is Zingiber siangensis not Z.zerumbet, Solanum torvum is S.viarum. The identification of Oyik as Pouzolzia bennettiana is confusing.
