Nishi people
The name ‘NYISHI’ is an ancient indigenous word. It is derived from two words; ‘nyi' or ‘nyia’ and ‘shi’ or ‘shing’. The ‘nyi’ means ‘Human’ descendant of Aathu Nyia, the son of the Aabhu Thanyi, while ‘shi’ or ‘shing’ means ‘Being’. Accordingly, the Nyishi stands for ‘Human Being’. The tradition current amongst the people that the Nyishi name for the northern region people were known as ‘nyeme’ and the down plain region neighbours were called ‘nyepak’. This also sometime refers to strange person coming from the plains. Hence, the Nyishi also maintained that they inhabit between the nyeme and the nyepak. In the past, they were little known by this racial nomenclature. They were earlier known as chungi or dafla in Ahom and Assam Buranji. Subsequently, the British used these words to dub the Tribe as ‘unruly hills men’, dwelling in the ‘unadministered frontiers’ and ultimately legitimized them to be the name for the new subjugated subjects by the imperial power of British India. Henceforth, colonial administrators, military officials, explorers and ethnographers started designating in various names like ; Duphlas, Dafla, Domphilas, Bangni, Ni-sing, Nisu, Western and Eastern Domphilas, Tagin Duphlas, Yano Daflas, so on and so forth.
