Yi Customary Law：Spirit of Democracy and Reconciliation

The Yi ethnic group is distributed mainly in the provinces of Yunnan, Sichuan, Guizhou and in the Longlin and Mubian areas of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region, with 25 subgroups and a total population of over seven million. Their land is home to several wild rivers surging through a perilous natural environment. The Yi were once isolated from the outside world, in particular those communities in the Greater and Lesser Liangshan Mountains.
