Of the more than 100 national races of Myanmar, the Nagas form a small =
but colorful national group. These honest and hardy people inhabit the =
mountain regious that form the Myanmar - India border in the north - =
west. Khamti, Lahe, Leshi and Htamanthi are the principal towns of the =
Naga region. The Nagas earn their livelihood largely through agriculture =
and livestock breeding. There is cultivation of paddy, corn, soyabean, =
and other pulses, as well as vegetables like garlic,onion, cauliflower =
and fruits such as orange, damson and bananas. They also grow tea and =
coffee on the hill slopes. The Nagas breed pigs, goats, chickens and =
cattle. Of the cattle bred, there is one special species known as "Nwa =
Nauk" which is larger and beefier than the Myanmar cow of the plains. It =
is a cross between the cow and the buffalo. There are also a few cottage =
industries like spinning and weaving, pottery and black smithy. Naga =
from outlying villages came to take part in the festivities dressed in =
their colorful best. There were the worrior-like youths with their =
shields, spears, and headdresses framed with the curved horns of the =
wild boar and adorned with fur and feathers. At the New Year =
celebrations, endless cups of rice wine are drunk, bison and wild boar =
meat roasted and eaten, tribal, dances performed with loud beating of =
drums. Visitors are welcomed, for they are curious about strangers =
although they prefer to stay home. The visitors on their part see events =
and people living in old ways not meant as entertainment for the =
tourists but because it is a natural part of their life. If strangers =
join in their celebrations, they are welcomed, it is good to share the =
happiness. These celebrations are part of their culture that the Naga =
will continue to preserve with all the pride of men living closest to =
nature. =20
