The origin of the progenitors of the Siyin tribe is, according to the natives, shrouded in mystery. Tradition states that a gourd fell from the heavens and, bursting with the fall, emitted a man and woman; these became the Chin Adam and Eve, and their garden of Eden was Chin Nwe (Ciimnuai), a village already mentioned. This story is not peculiar to the Siyins, but is believed by all the tribes in the Northern Chin Hills.(1)
Hi a tung a thu sia Sizang khanglui upna, khanglui ngaisutna taw a piang khanglui tangthu (Myth) hi lel bek hi.

Most of the people of Myanmar are of the general physical type known as Mongoloid, with straight black hair, sparse beard, height cheekbones, low nose root, and epicanthic eye fold. The Burmese proper are short and slender in build, with brown skin, while the Karen are more stocky and often lighter in skin colour.
Tribes in the northern hills are frequently taller and rosy cheeked, and occasionally have wavy hair. The most significant cultural divisions are between those subsisting by settled, wet-rice agriculture, and those by shifting, dry-rice culture. (2)
