Triesh is one of the seven Albanian tribes of Malësi e Mahe. Trieshi, as well as Hoti, derive from a single ancestor named Keq Preka. The tribe consists of over 300 houses within a ten village radius. The ten villages of Trieshi are to include: Rudinë, Nikmarashi, Muzheçku, Budzë, Poprat, Stjepoja, Bekaj, Delaj, Cemi i Trieshit, and part of Fushë Koritës. The people of Trieshi are called "Trieshjan" (referred to for males) and "Trieshjane" (for females). The Trieshjan's follow the Roman Catholic faith, along with the majority of Malësia. The Trieshjan's were never suppressed by the Ottomans and never paid any taxes to the Turks. The people of Trieshi have always managed to defend their lands from the Turkish suppressors. Alongside the warriors, Trieshi also contributed several great singers like Nikollë Nikprelaj and Malësori. Today, most people of Trieshi have immigrated to the United States in search for a better living, but those who still live back home are inhabiting the town of Tuzi or the capital city of Podgorica, Montenegro.
