The rest of today we use for a detailed inspection of the village Tuensang, by far the biggest and most important of the Chang villages from which all others claim to descend. As once the Chang had emerged from a ficus tree on a mountain above Tobu, they first settled in a place called Champio between Hakchang and Tuensang and from there they founded the latter. The people who until then had lived on the present day Tuensang, actually precisely at the site of our camp, were called Shitham, and are supposed to have been Konyak similar to the ones of Tobu. They partly emigrated to Nakshu and partly stayed in Tuensang among the Chang. |
