Naga people
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Naga people of about two and half million are found in Nagaland, parts of Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh in North-East India, and parts of Myanmar (Burma). Of mixed Yunnanese and Burmese origin, they speak tribal dialects belonging to the Tibeto-Burman family.
Tattooing and dormitories plays a major role in their traditional culture, although this practice is now in sharp decline. Headhunting, which was once widely practiced, has been banned since 1991.
They are divided into 30 tribes, many of whom are found outside Nagaland.
