Who they are
The Pumi are an indigenous people living on the mountainous slopes of southwestern China, preserving ancestral customs and their own language from the Tibeto-Burman family. Traditionally devoted to mountain farming and herding, they maintain a closely-knit community life shaped by traditional rituals, folk songs, and respect for the natural forces that surround their villages.
