 Miri Chutias were the Chutias who lived in the bordering villages of the northern bank of Brahmapurtra and fled to the Miri hills during the Ahom invasions.They intermarried with the Mishing and were subsequently absorbed by the later.They chiefly belonged to the Bihiya, Buruk(Medok) and Bebejia clans.In several villages, Mising families still offer annual homage of ‘Jal-Pinda’ to some Chutiya Mine or Chutiya grandmother which indicates these to be the descedants of Chutias.
