| Abstract: | The Lepcha inhabit the southern and eastern slopes of Mount Kanchenjunga in the Himalayas, primarily located in the states of Sikkim and West Bengal (Darjeeling District), India. Some Lepcha also live in Nepal and Bhutan. It is believed the Lepcha originally came from either Mongolia or Tibet. The Lepcha language is classified in the Tibeto-Burman family. The Lepcha adopted the Tibetan Buddhist religion. This collection on the Lepcha contains 13 documents that focus on the Lepcha in India and on the time period from the late 1800s up until ca. 1950. Except for Foning who is a native Lepcha and lived in the region from 1938 to 1984, all the documents are based on research conducted before 1953. The earliest works are an Risley's anthropometric study from 1886-1888 and Waddell's collection of songs from 1891. Gorer and Siiger have written the most complete monographs on the Lepcha. Gorer's traveling companion, Morris, has written a more popular account. In a series of articles translated from the German, Nebesky-Wojkowitz writes about hunting and fishing, legends, religious paraphernalia, and funerals. Jest also writes about Lepcha religion and Hermanns on Lepcha myths |
