	History of Lisu People - The Virtual Hilltribe Museum @ www.hilltribe.org
		Often referred to as "Lisor," they refer to themselves as "Lisu." The word "Li" comes from the word "eelee," which means custom, tradition, or culture; "su" means "person." The combined meaning is: a group of people who share a deep pride in their customs, traditions, and culture.
		Originally, the Lisu were from the area near headwaters of the Salaween and Mekong rivers, located in northern Tibet and the northwest portion of Yunnan province, China.
		The Lisu in Thailand are scattered across nine different provinces: Chiang Rai, Chiang Mai, Mae Hong Son, Phayao, Tak, Kampaengphet, Phetchaboon, Sukhothai, and Lampang.

	Mischa Berlinski -- Hupasha and The Headman
		The Morses were great believers in the imminent end of the universe, as described in Revelations, and everything they did was with the aim of convincing the Lisu people to abandon their traditional system of belief, repent of their sins, and accept the blessings of Christ before time was up.
		The Lisu believed that the spirits which caused madness were easily confused, and that in fighting these spirits the most effective tactic was to outwit them: the pants were intended to convince the spirits that they had lodged in the wrong part of the body, after which they would, presumably, flee.
		Wherever the Lisu lived, they prided themselves that they were not such to submit themselves to any temporal authority - be it to an authoritarian headman demanding obeisance, to a Chinese mandarin demanding duty, or even to their neighbors, asking that an unruly dog be bound.
