The term "Lahu" refers to humans in their native tongue, and their predecessors were the Lolo people who inhabited the Tibetan Plateau. The Chinese had acknowledged the political self-governance of central and southern Yunnan inhabitants until the Thai Yai and Chinese subsequently took control of the region.
