| Summary: |
B&W photographic print. 'Situated on the left bank of the River Tizu. Naga villages are normally built on ridges for defensive reasons; this is a unique case of a village on a river bank, the river itself forming a defence on one side. Until coming under British protection the village, consisting of only forty-one houses, lived precariously, often being raided by its powerful Sema neighbours.' |
