Shala is a tribe and region of northern Albania in the valley of the river Shalë. Results of historical and archaeological research confirm the claim of oral histories that ancestors of Shala came to the valley several centuries ago. Shala are considered as related to Kuči tribe because their ancestors came to Albania from the region of Kuči (modern day Montenegro). In fact the origin of the name is derived from another Albanian language word ((アルバニア語:shalës, shalësinë)), meaning infertile land. The religion of the tribe was Catholic while the tribe had around 3,000 members at the end of 19th century. According to a legend they share a common ancestor with Shoshi and Mirdita (from three brothers, one who had saddle ((アルバニア語:shalë)), second had sieve ((アルバニア語:shoshë)) and third who had nothing wished to his brothers to have a good-day ((アルバニア語:mirëdita))).

Shala tribe was in conflict with Gashi tribe until they made peace in August 1879, based on sultan's order. In 1910 Shala tribe joined the Albanian revolt of 1910 and with some other tribes fought against Ottoman forces attempting to reach Shkodër. In 1913 Shala tribe joined Montenegrin forces during the Siege of Scutari. When Montenegrin forces began to disarm them after the city was captured, Shala tribe rebelled.
