Book excerpt: - The first time such intensive research and documentation on Konyak tattoo art has been undertaken - An overall view of the Konyak people, their society, way of life and the culture in detail The Konyaks - a once fearsome headhunting tribe in Nagaland on the border of Myanmar in northeast India - are well known for their iconic body and facial tattoos, originally earned for taking an enemy's head. This book - over four years in the making - is the personal journey of a Konyak woman who retraces the steps of her grandfather and great-grandfather by documenting her tribe's tattooing practices. She explores the Konyak's concept of beautification of the body using it as a canvas for art, with inscriptions marked on the skin as a form of rite of passage and cycle of life. With elegant and powerful portraits of elders, both men and women, this book preserves the unique but vanishing practices of the culture, together with tattoo patterns, their meanings, and the oral traditions attached to them in folktales, songs, poems and sayings. It includes descriptions and information on headhunting and tattooing practices; reasons behind them; techniques used; tattoo artists; different tattoo groups; types of tattoos; and personal stories. Contents: The Konyaks; Headhunting; Traditional Tattooing Art; Tattoo Artist; Face Tattoo Group SHEN-TU; Body Tattoo Group TANGTA-TU; Nose Tattoo Group KONG-TU; The Last of the Tattooed Headhunters; Glossary.

Book excerpt: DAWN is the first book in a series of 'Naga Tales'. It contains a collection of authentic Naga folktales, retold by Dr. Achingliu Kamei. The Nagas are one of the indigenous peoples living in the North Eastern part of India and North Western Myanmar with a population numbering about 4 million. They are known for their courage, bravery, rich culture and strong identity. Oral traditions such as folktales, myths, songs, and poems were passed down from one generation to the next. Children and youth learned through stories and legends about survival skill, endurance, ethic, respect for nature and for humanity. The oral tradition and expressions are getting less practice in the Naga society due to the modern influences such as mass media and urbanisation. Therefore, this book is an attempt to preserve the legacy of traditional storytelling culture, presented in a written form. It aims to connect the younger Naga generation to their roots and identity, and inspire them to take pride in their cultural heritage. For the rest of the readers in the world, it can be a showcase of the ancient traditions of social norm, beliefs, ethics, and value system found in the Naga society. It provides the readers glimpses into the Nagas' history, customs, and traditions, social relationship and interrelationship with nature, spirits, and the animal world.

Download or read book The Naga Ethnic Movement for a Separate Homeland written by Namrata Goswami and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2020-01-17 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Namrata Goswami’s research on the Naga armed ethnic movement offers a compelling narrative on how conflict has affected the daily lives of the Nagas. This volume is an account of the Naga ethnic movement going on in India since 1918, covering both historical and contemporary aspects of the conflict. Based on over a decade of ethnographic work among the Naga rebels and movement zones, personal interviews, and secondary data, the author offers insights into how the Naga population perceives their meeting point with the institutions of the Indian state, especially the army and the paramilitary. The book documents what it is like, to live in a conflict zone and the restraints and thought processes that it cultivates especially among the youth. The book reveals gripping stories of tremendous courage and conviction from people who have thought about the political unrest, been born into it, taken part in it, or have been affected by it. The Naga Ethnic Movement for a Separate Homeland reflects the Nagas’ love for their land, tracing the poignant mix of nature, land, identity, emotions, culture as well as the inter-ethnic differences that exacerbate the conflict.
