The Tujia ethnic group has a long history that can be traced back to 2,000 years ago, when they settled in today’s provinces of Hunan and Hubei. They lived with other nationalities like Miao and Han. The Tujia ethnic group was officially recognized as one of the 55 ethnic groups in 1957 by the Chinese Government, and a number of autonomous prefectures and counties were established.
