The Hill Miri tribe was adopted by the [[Nyishi]] community in early 21st Century after a lot of pre-longed successful meeting among community leader, technocrats, officers, students leader and general public, due to their similarities in language and culture. This produced the end of the era of separate Hill Miri Identity and the people's are therefore today known as [[Nyishi]].

The term [[Hill Miri]] is now abolished by the Government of [[Arunachal Pradesh]], hence claiming the word to be inappropriate and unacceptable by any means.
