The Lepchas are the original inhabitants of parts of Sikkim, Darjeeling and Eastern Nepal. They call themselves Rong or Mutanchi Rongkup meaning the eternal children of Mother Nature. They believe that the supreme creator Etboo Debu Rum had created their progenitors the first Lepcha man Foodonthing and the first Lepcha woman, Nazangnyu from the fresh snows of Mt. Kanchenjungha, and then left them in the heaven of Mayel Lyang. They are ardent nature worshippers and practice an animist form of appeasing the spirits. The custodian of their ethnic being is the male priest called the Boongthing and the female priest called the Mun. Lepchas are peace loving community and are vividly share a symbiotic relationship with nature. Their food habits and clothing are procured from nature. Lepchas are very conscious of their ethnic culture and have been consciously preserving them. The modern Lepcha understood that what rich traditional knowledge their ancestors had, regarding civil engineering to medicine, they need to preserve them to have sustainable living conditions on earth. Lepchas have their own language which they have used in writing their own literature, songs and all other cultural expressions even their own philosophy. Lepchas in their preservation of their identity, still take pride in proclaiming themselves to be the oldest life form on earth.
