Burusho (Hunza)

The Burusho peoples, also archaically referred to as the Hunzukut or Hunzakuts (after the Hunza Valley), are an ethnic group indigenous to the Hunza, the Nagar, and the Yasin Valleys of modern northern Pakistan. According to their folklore, the Burushas trace their lineage to three soldiers of Alexander the Great who settled with their Persian wives in the Hunza Valley in the fourth century B.C.
