A special tour to the heart of the tribal society of North Eastern state of Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland, where tribal life is still vibrating in spite of the many changes in the outside world. All these groups have their distinctive social and cultural identities, speaking different languages and dialects of the Tibeto-Burmese family and following different beliefs and customs. The tribes are integrated into groups independent of each other, living their separate lives threaded by the common pattern of life. The casteless societies are governed by chiefs and the adults are grouped according to their age for distinct social functions.
An immersive journey to explore the tribal land and begin learning about the mysterious North-Eastern part of India.
