Burma image, WA1511. Mixed group Lahus.
"The Lahus extend southwards down to about 20 degrees north latitude. The southernmost members of the tribe are found in the extreme north of Siam as well as in Tongking. The Kwis of the Shan States are one of the southernmost branches of the Lahus. At the 1901 census 15,774 persons were returned as Lahus or Muhsos and 2,882 as Kwis. All but three of these were enumerated in the Southern Shan States. The Lahus are best known for the resistance they have offered to the Chinese along the border and, latterly, for the readiness that they have exhibited to adopt Christianity. Some of the missionaries working among them would classify them ethnically with the Karens, but for this there seems no justification." ['The Tribes of Burma', C. C. Lowis, Rangoon, 1910, pp.39-40]
