| Summary: |
Album R consists exclusively of photographs of the Rengmas, many ofwhich were published in J.P. Mills' "The Rengma Nagas" (1937). At the time this monograph was written, the Rengmas were one of the smallest of the Naga tribes, numbering about 6,300 in the 1931 census. They are divided into two groups, the Western Rengmas and the Eastern Rengmas. At the time of Mills' research, the latter had only been administered for fourteen years, so were an interesting subject for an anthropological study. They were geographically isolated from the Western section of the tribe, who had been administered for much longer. The Eastern Rengmas (today Pochuri) have only three villages, Meluri, Sahunyu and Lephori, of which Meluri is by far the largest. Their territory adjoins the Southern Sangtams to the north and east, the Eastern Angamis on the west and the Tangkhuls to the south. The Western Rengmas are bounded on the south by Angamis, to the east by Semas and on the north and west by Lhotas. They are further divided into Northern (Ntenyi) and Southern (Nzong) sections, speaking entirely different languages and adopting many differing customs. |
