The Karbis, historically known as the Mikir, are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group indigenous to Northeast India, concentrated primarily in the hill districts of Karbi Anglong and West Karbi Anglong in Assam. They rank among the oldest known communities of the Brahmaputra valley, with folklore and archaeology pointing to a long presence in the region before successive waves of displacement pushed them into the hills.
