This was a fascinating story about Tibetans in Myanmar! This is the first time I have ever heard of Tibetans in Myanmar! Thank you for this very interesting piece!
Thanks for shedding light on this obscure fact. We the Myanmar people are blood-related to the Tibetan people (at least some of us do), and we share the Tibeto-burman language heritage as well. I met the author of "Beyond The Last Village" in New York in the late 1990's, when I listened to his seminar based on his book.
Myanmar's Lost Tibetans refers to a group of Tibetan refugees who fled to Myanmar (formerly Burma) due to political and cultural repression in Tibet, particularly after the Chinese invasion in the 1950s. Over time, many Tibetans in Myanmar have become somewhat isolated from the larger Tibetan diaspora, leading to them being referred to as "lost" because they are less known or recognized compared to other Tibetan communities around the world. They live in remote areas, often without easy access to support from the international Tibetan community
From the information I've gathered, refugees from Tibet do not comprise the Myanmar Tibetans. They are Khampas who settled there within the last century.
Chinese invasion??? LOL Their presence had nothing to do with the modern China. It's simply people migration before the modern day nation-state, when there was no clear border between regions, perhaps due to tribal struggles or kingdom expansion and so on, long in the past. They have poor fate, if their ancestors did not migrate, they would have better lives nowadays in the better place! But that's all fate. Yet they're still much luckier than those Palestinians, the saddest people in the world.
As a Burmese, I believe all people who speak Tibeto-Burman languages are our relatives. I don’t see them as outsiders, even if they live in a foreign country, because we Burmese originally came from Tibet a long time ago. Welcome to all Tibeto-Burman brothers and sisters from Myanmar, if they wish-this is your home.
Fascinating. Most respect and salute to these Ethnicities hailing from Tibet once upon a time .. for surviving prity harsh environments, adaptation, all the struggle god knows what they would have been through...😢😢 I always wanted to know to more on Myanmar's ethnicity and how it relates to Tibetan since I heard and saw videos on genetics and linguistic ( language) as why they were called Tibeto Burmese and who were they.. Now I bliv these people are the ones we looking for .....there are also tribes and regions in the Northern India which we seeing them today and they culture, tradition, lifestyle prity much the same as we Tibetans does... It's amazing to learn that even few 100 years or generation gap , separation, geopolitical changes people almost got cut off from the ancestors land just like that 😮😮😢😢😢 I wish as an Tibetan could able to reach out and help these Tribes in ways I could ...and would also like to appeal the central exile govt of Tibet to kindly reach these lost brothers and sisters and extend support in any possible way we can ..🙏🙏🙏 Well, Thank you for this Fascinating short documentary Sir I so moved , I really am 🙏 💐
I wish to see more visuals so that I can learn more about it. It look like Myanmar Tibetan originated from Amdo region. Not sure and want to know more. Interesting!
I was able to locate some images on Facebook just by searching "Tibetans Myanmar", but I was not granted permission to use the images for this video. However there is a Burmese user who posts videos of this Tibetan village frequently ---> th-cam.com/video/QMbno_E_KjA/w-d-xo.html
Actually Kachin is the Tibetan word "སྐར་ཆེན། "brightness Stars villages" but later those majority people forget their forefathers roots under new master 💪🏻👨👨👧👦💔
@@WaMo721 Apparently the Myanmar Tibetans make frequent pilgrimages to Tibet, but the book states that when they do, they experience ostracizing from their fellow Tibetans in Tibet who see them as different. I think the Myanmar Tibetans would have no problems integrating with Tibetan diasporic communities, which are already comprised of many diverse Tibetan groups.
Derung of Eastern Tibet and Derung of Northern Myanmar are the same ethnic group. That is why the Derung called Tibetans of Tahaundam “newcomers”, because they arrived the same way from Tibet, but much earlier. Tibetan refugees who were born in India say the same thing to new refugees from Tibet when they call them “sarjor” (Tibetan for “newcomer”).
Perhaps the Derung people emigrated from Dêrong County (得荣县, སྡེ་རོང་རྫོང) in the Garzê region to Myanmar. Dêrong County borders Dechen County, which is very close to Myanmar.

I’ve heard and read about the Tibet o-Burmese pigmies deep in the jungles of Burma. Are these race of tibetan on the northern part similar to the Tibetan Pigmes of the Burmese jungle? Thank you
There are about 200-300 Tibetans living in this village and they've been here for a century, if not more. It's up to them whether or not they want to leave their home, but it's about time that Tibetan organizations reached out to them since they have been living in dire conditions for so long.
They say the first kingdoms of mymar were of Tibetan origin Monpas and they adopted Theravada bhuddism and thus one has the name Mon all over southeast Asia although Tibetans themselves do t want to be called monpa , wonder if it’s true the monpa adopted Theravada bhuddism and created those kingdoms ?
To my little knowledge each and everybody living now in Burma are descendants of those people ( their ancestors) came down from Qinhai lake region in Mongolia. All of them except the Chinese and Indian origins. Yet they don't know or don't want to say that they are Mongolian descendants. Savvy? Period.
@@moomullermoothomas6336 If you look at the world map, there is a country in southeast asia called Burma/Myanmar(changed in 1989?) .

But they don't know or they don't care. Weird people. 😁
Thank you Myanmar. You keep Tibetan people
Myanmar people are also related to Tibetans ❤
Anyways, Burmese are Tibeto Burmans and they came from the Tibetan Plateau.
Their language is Sino Tibetan.❤❤❤
@@yeaung5384You are so right.
Majority of the Tibetans don't know that!
Good to know.. will visit someday ..love Myanmar Tibetan from USA..!!

Do they speak Tibetan or Burmese? Do you know?
They speak Kham Tibetan.
@@eclectic.explorationsoh I see. We call it Kham-Ked (Kham dialect) but most Tibetans can understand it!
I would like to go visit. I need Burma visa from USA ? Do you know any contact there
@@ZamarSponsors I don't think Northern parts of Myanmar are safe to visit for now.

I have heard that one kind of Burmese origin is from Tibetan but this is totally a new information that there is Tibetan refugees in Myanmar..
They aren’t refugees. They have settled this village for generations.
There's a tibeto- Burman speaking tribe in NE part of India known as "Karbi" pretty similar with Derung tribe.
What part of the north east?

They should be brought to the Tibetan settlements in India that are fast becoming empty due to migration to the west
