Kumi

Historical reference: Do not rely on this information. It is very old. About this collection

Kumi, i.e. "Men," the most numerous hill tribe of North Arakan, on both sides of the Kolading river; two main divisions, Kumi proper and Kami, with twenty-seven minor groups and collective population of 12,000; appear to be akin to the Kuki (q.v.), although the tribal relations in this region are greatly obscured by the confused and puzzling nomenclature.
