Konyak Nagas

👉They are known to be one of the fiercest warrior tribes in Nagaland.

👉Population of roughly 3 lakh, the area inhabited by the Konyaks extends into Arunachal Pradesh, with a sizable population in Myanmar as well.

👉The Konyaks were the last to give up the practice of head-hunting – severing heads of enemies after attacking rival tribes – as late as the 1980s.

👉Mon is the only district in Nagaland where the separatist group has not been able to set up base camps, largely due to resistance from the Konyaks.

👉The Konyaks therefore, are imperative for a smooth resolution of the peace talks, as well as the post-talk peace process in the state.

👉Around 4,700 Konyak Naga women, in their colourful traditional attire came together on April 5, 2019, in an attempt to set a Guinness World Record for the “Largest Traditional Konyak Dance”.
