Myanmar People and Races
Rawang

A tribe of the Rawang people who live around the
conjunction of Burma, India, and China. There are
only about 20-30,000 Rawang. They have long been
primarily hunters and gatherers, but nowadays they
also grow rice, serve as porters, and mine for gold
and jade. The men mostly had a twig or thorn in the
ear as ornament; the women sometimes a large silver
ear-ring. The latter also were tattooed in green
round the mouth.
