Are the Bao An ethnic Tibetans, or are they a separate ethnic group, perhaps like the Yi with a Tibetan influence?

The formal name of Bao An people is Bonan ethnic minority group, whose home is mainly at the foot of JiShi mountain, almost at the boundary of GanSu and QingHai province . The population of Bonan ethnic minority group is about 16,505. Their local language belong to Mongolian Austronesian. Their religion is Islam. In China, Bonan ethnic minority group is famous for their man-made knives-Bonan Dao.
I will post some typical pictures of Bonan Dao and Tibetan Dao.
