The Beituzhu (北土著), or Northern Aborigines (an exonym; endonym: ''Khemchik'') are the original inhabitants of the Northeast. They traditionally inhabited the wetlands and forests of the North, living in small villages with partially-underground longhouses. They are an earthbending people, i.e. ethnic earth nationals, though due to occasional genetic contact with the Water Tribes, they sometimes have waterbenders. Their language is unrelated to the Yonggan language but has many loanwords from it, as well as Ganjinese loanwords transmitted via the Yonggan. Before contact with the Central Earth Kingdom civilization, they were organized into small tribes. They traded with the Water Tribes and Yonggan, but also sometimes fought the latter for territory.

They are mostly Fitzpatrick II-III in color. They have mostly green eyes. Most of them practice Kemchick shamanism, under syncretic influence with Moon Spirit Worship of the Water Tribes (the Ocean Spirit is considered less important to them) and Earth Kingdom Folk Religion. In the modern day, many continue to practice traditional hunting and gathering lifestyles; others practice short-season sorghum cultivation, peat cutting, trap fishing, and fur trapping. Earthbending is more common among them than among the descendents of Zhongzu settlers, and they are sometimes employed for their bending, e.g. in construction. Some live as an urban underclass in settler cities; they have some towns of their own but none larger than a few thousand inhabitants.
