Mising Tribe in Assam: Misings are unique in their style of housing. They live in thatched houses raised on bamboo stilts . This is called a Chaang ghar which means house on stilts . Under the raised structure they keep their domestic animals .This chaang ghar helps protect themselves from flood as they basically live in flood prone areas . They basically depend upon agriculture and that is why they choose to live at the fertile river bank area.
