Wakching still gets tribute from Chingtang, Chinglong, Aopao, Mohung, Chowa, Chen, Totok, Punkhung, Tanhai, Langmen, Oting. During the disturbances the tribute paying was stopped by some villages. Since the re-establishment of peace, the tribute payment has been resumed. Some villages wanted to make payment in money, but Wakching did not like this, fearing in this way the tribute may not be continued. Although protection is no longer required, tribute continues as a kind of rent from the land. Also the protecting morungs act as patrons for their dependent villages in disputes with other morungs. Anaki is still half Konyak and half Ao. |
