The Headhunting Konyak Tribe of Nagaland

Описание к видео The Headhunting Konyak Tribe of Nagaland

The Longwa village is situated on the eastern edge of India’s north-eastern province of Nagaland. With Myanmar on one side and India on the other, this village is home to the fierce Konyak Naga Tribe.
Konyaks have been known as fierce headhunters for centuries until the 1970s. Killing an enemy and bringing back their head was considered a rite of passage and was rewarded by a tattoo on the face or the chest of the warrior.
Jewellery has also been a big part of their customs; the number of heads on a warrior’s necklace showed the number of people he has killed.
