Jie (ethnic group)

Wikipedia

 
The Jie (Chinese language|Chinese: 羯, pinyin: Ji?, Wade-Giles: Chieh) were a member tribe of the Xiongnu confederation during the 3rd and 4th centuries AD.

Anthopologically they belonged to caucasoid racial stock and were probably related to modern Pamir Tajiks. In the period 350-352, general Ran Min ordered the complete extermination of this tribe, and due to their distinct racial features all were killed.

Some historians conjecture the Jie to be a medieval tribe related to modern Kets living in the Ob-Yenisey tributary.
