Zotung people

The Zotung are an ethnic group indigenous to Chin State in western Myanmar (formerly Burma), primarily residing in the central and southern regions of the state. Zotung people belong to the Tibeto-Burman language family and are ethnically and culturally distinct from other Chin groups, although they share certain historical and cultural affinities. Most Zotung people are traditionally subsistence farmers and engage in hunting, like many other Chin ethnic groups. Their pre-Christian religious system, known as Lawki or Sakhua, was animistic and centered around nature and ancestor worship.
