arrival at Cheswezumi, an Angami village |

We arrived at the bungalow, lying slightly below the village of Cheswezumi, at the head of this strange procession. After a short rest, and while Mills listened to reports on several cases, I climbed up alone to the village. I wanted my first impression of a Naga village undisturbed. Only a beginner is so sentimental, but even today that first moment is unforgettable : when Naga culture, so familiar from books and ethnographical museums, appeared as a living entity. |
