Nagaland is home to sixteen or more major tribes, each with its own language, dress, crafts and customs — a cultural richness that makes the state endlessly fascinating.
A mosaic of tribes
From the Angami and Ao to the Konyak — famed as former headhunters with facial tattoos — each tribe has a distinct identity, best appreciated in their villages and at the Hornbill Festival.
Living traditions
Morungs (traditional dormitories), wood carving, weaving and folk music remain living parts of Naga life, alongside a strong Christian identity.
