Who they are

The Shin are a community of Dardic origin who inhabit the rugged mountain valleys of northern Pakistan. With a rich oral tradition and a deep connection to the land, they organize their social life around family and community loyalty. Islam shapes their daily identity, and the preservation of the Shina language reflects pride in their heritage amid mountain-isolated regions.
