Living in remote mountain setting sharing border with India
in the west, with little access to the outside, the Naga people
have little understanding of what lined beyond their emerald
mountains surrounding them. For centuries the Naga people here
have survived, adapting to this isolated land and preserving
their way of life with uncomplaining tool. Every January the
Naga nationalities from different part of their region gather in
one of their towns to celebrate their Naga festival after
walking several days over mountains and through valleys. The
festival lasts two days and it is only recently that
infrastructure in their region had permitted outsiders to
attend. The Naga however are not putting on a show for others
but enjoying what they do every year since the time of distant
ancestors. There are many main clans with splinter groups of
tribes that usually do not share the same language. Their
customs may also differ but on the whole they live by the
concept that they are brothers to the spirits of nature. They
prefer the wild jungles and remote mountaintops to the relative
comforts of towns.
