Although they were initially hill dwellers, they later migrated to the plains in search of fertile land and started living on the banks of rivers i.e. present day Assam. A theory suggests that the Misings presently living in the plains of Assam were not a single ethnicity, but it evolved into being one when many people from various Tani ethnic groups of Arunachal Pradesh migrated to the plains of Assam. Surprisingly, this explains the presence of many Mising clans with different Mising dialects and levels of development. As per historians, the Misings came down to the plains in two groups, the Barogam and the Dohgam.<sup id="cite_ref-24" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-24"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>24<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> Another theory suggests that the Misings in hilly areas of the <a href="/wiki/Subansiri_river" class="mw-redirect" title="Subansiri river">Subansiri</a>-<a href="/wiki/Siang_district" title="Siang district">Siang</a> region were subordinate to the <a href="/wiki/Adi_people" title="Adi people">Abors</a> and so migrated to the plains to escape their plight.

However, during the early British period, Misings continued to move down to the plains since even then they would continue to face raids from their former Abor overlords.

Ali-Ayé-Lígang is a five-day festival. The celebrations begin with the heads of families sowing ceremonially rice paddy seeds in a corner of their respective rice fields in the morning hours and praying for crop abundance. Young men and women participate in the occasion by singing and dancing at night in the courtyard of every household in the villages to the accompaniment of drums, cymbals, and a gong. The gong is not used on any festive occasion other than the Ali-Ayé Lígang. Similarly, the drums have specific beats for this festival.

They are still mainly animists and adopted some aspects of Vaishnavism after the Bhakti movement that was started by <a href="/wiki/Sankardev" title="Sankardev">Sankardev</a>, (1449–1568 AD). </p><p>Their creation myth is as follows: first was <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Sedi babu</i></span>, the Supreme Being. He created <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Melo-Nane</i></span>, and together they created <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Ditem</i></span> (the Earth), <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Adi-Ditem</i></span> (the mountain), <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Nei-Negan</i></span> (green-leafed trees), <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Rukji-Merang</i></span> (Acalypha indica and insects) and <span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Peyi-Pettang</i></span> (birds and animals). They also created the sun (<span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Donyi</i></span>) and the moon (<span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">Polo</i></span>), the wind (<span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">echar</i></span>), water (<span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">aasi</i></span>), fire (<span title="Mising-language text"><i lang="mrg">ímí</i></span>), and other aspects of the universe. Sedi then created Diling, whose descendant Pedong gave birth to Dopang, Domi and Doshing. Domi's son, Miniyong, was the ancestor of the Misings. </p><p>Misings believe in different supernatural beings haunting the earth, usually unseen. These supernatural beings fall into four categories: uyu or ui – usually malevolent spirits inhabiting the waters, the woods, the skies, etc. capable of causing great harm including physical devastation, urom po-sum – hovering spirits of the dead, who may cause illness or other adverse conditions, guhmeen-sohing – benevolent ancestral spirits, and epom-yapom – spirits inhabiting tall, big trees, who are generally not very harmful, but who may abduct human beings occasionally, cause some physical or mental impairment and release them later. Barring the epom-yapom, all the supernatural beings supposedly need to be propitiated with sacrificial offerings (usually domestic fowl), both periodically and on specific occasions of illness, disaster, etc. Even the benevolent guardian spirits are propitiated from time to time for the all-round wellbeing of a household. The god of thunder is propitiated from time to time, and although not worshipped or propitiated, the Sun (who they call Ane-Donyi 'Mother Sun') and the Moon (who they call Abu Polo 'Father Moon') are invoked on all auspicious occasions. </p><p>The leader of their animistic faith is called a <i>mibu</i> (also called miri earlier), their priest or medicine man, who is supposed to be born with special powers of communion with supernatural beings. While mibus are on their way out amongst the Misings owing to the introduction of modern education and healthcare amongst them, propitiation of supernatural beings continue to mark their religious life. </p><p>In addition, they have embraced in the valley some kind of a <a href="/wiki/God_in_Hinduism" title="God in Hinduism">monotheistic Hinduism</a> as passed on to them by one of the sects of the Vaishnavism of Sankardeva. </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Notable_people">Notable people</h2><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a
