One of China's minority groups. They mainly live in Lanping County, Yunnan Province, Lijiang Naxi Autonomous County, Weixi County, Ninglang Yi Autonomous County, Yongsheng County, and Muli Tibetan Autonomous County, Sichuan Province, where they coexist with other ethnic groups such as the Naxi, Bai, and Lisu. The population was about 29,700 (1990). The Pumi in Lanping, Lijiang, and Yongsheng call themselves "Puyinmi," while those in Ninglang call themselves "Beim." Both terms mean "white people."
