Land Tenure and Agriculture |
| text: |
The land controlled by a Central Nzemi village community forms an irregular tract and the current village site is usually but not always, near its approximate centre. Before administration village land-boundaries (heram-rai) were fixed by mutual consent and followed as far as possible major streams or some other unmistakeable feature. That between Hangrum and Toushem, for example, was and still is the Jiri River. [1 [Record T86829] |
