The Jiarong

The Khampa Tibetans share their region with many other ethnic groups, including 250,000 Jiarong, who are distinct from Tibetan people on account of their vastly different language, dress, and customs. The Jiarong inhabit isolated areas in western Sichuan, and consider Mount Gongga (Minya Konka in Tibetan), an imposing mountain 24,790 feet (7,556 meters) high, to be their spirit-queen and protective guardian.

Most Jiarong people who live in strongly Tibetan areas have adopted Tibetan Buddhism as their religion, while others share the polytheistic beliefs of their Qiang neighbors. Overlaying the Jiarong worldview is a belief in the ancient Bon religion, and their communities contain many Bon temples.
