The hill peoples of the Lushai and Chin hills: villages under hereditary chiefs, with no kingdom.
The Mizo ("hill people") name and the movements out of the Chin hills into the Lushai hills belong, as far as we know, to the fourteenth to sixteenth centuries; earlier groups called Kuki or Old Kuki lived there. We opened no source on them, so this record is general knowledge and says no more than that the hills are inhabited and unruled. The Chin hills across the border are the Burma map's ground.

- The campaign board entry chin-hills and kabaw-valley are the Burma map's; we draw only the India side.
Evidence: No source opened.
"The campaign board" is OMNIA's working map. These notes record where its earlier claims were checked against the sources.
On the map: The range is drawn as a province (the matching nie-prov record); this record draws no ground of its own.
