Book excerpt: - The first time such intensive research and documentation on Konyak tattoo art has been undertaken - An overall view of the Konyak people, their society, way of life and the culture in detail The Konyaks - a once fearsome headhunting tribe in Nagaland on the border of Myanmar in northeast India - are well known for their iconic body and facial tattoos, originally earned for taking an enemy's head. This book - over four years in the making - is the personal journey of a Konyak woman who retraces the steps of her grandfather and great-grandfather by documenting her tribe's tattooing practices. She explores the Konyak's concept of beautification of the body using it as a canvas for art, with inscriptions marked on the skin as a form of rite of passage and cycle of life. With elegant and powerful portraits of elders, both men and women, this book preserves the unique but vanishing practices of the culture, together with tattoo patterns, their meanings, and the oral traditions attached to them in folktales, songs, poems and sayings. It includes descriptions and information on headhunting and tattooing practices; reasons behind them; techniques used; tattoo artists; different tattoo groups; types of tattoos; and personal stories. Contents: The Konyaks; Headhunting; Traditional Tattooing Art; Tattoo Artist; Face Tattoo Group SHEN-TU; Body Tattoo Group TANGTA-TU; Nose Tattoo Group KONG-TU; The Last of the Tattooed Headhunters; Glossary.

Download or read book The Nagas written by Julian Jacobs and published by Thames & Hudson. This book was released on 1999-02-01 with total page 359 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Nagas of Northeast India, radically different in culture and beliefs from the better-known Hindu peoples of the plains, were renowned in the years before Indian independence for their fierce resistance to British rule and for their practice of head-hunting. Although sharing many social and cultural traits, the thousands of small Naga villages often vary greatly from one another, and the Nagas display both unity and diversity in their dress and ornament. Their vibrant material culture is generously illustrated here in color photographs that display textiles, basketry, jewelry, weapons, metalwork, and carvings. Drawing on a diverse range of historical materials, the authors examine how the notion of tribes came to be applied to the Nagas and point out its subsequent importance in the development of contemporary Naga nationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This autobiography of a well known anthropologist who spent fifty years studying tribal populations in India and Nepal traces his research among primitive food gatherers and hunters in the forests of Andra Pradesh and the equally isolated cultivators in the wooded hills of the Eastern Ghats. Führer-Haimendorf began his work among the Konyak Nagas of the Naga Hills at a time when they were still head-hunters, and was one of few scholars to observe the head hunting ritual. He later spent several years studying the large tribe of Raj Gonds in the northern districts of Hyderabad State, meticulously preserving in writing the epics and extensive mythology of their oral tradition. The book also recounts his fieldwork among such high altitude dwellers as the Sherpas.
