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.

Book excerpt: This is an extraordinary account of how two men went into Nagaland, a small state in the north-eastern corner of India, and proceeded to meet and observe the culture of the Konyak Nagas, one of the last tribes of people still living a hunter-gatherer existence. Retold through the eyes of the author, Ashim Roy, we learn of the harsh and violent lifestyle that our fellow humans follow in some areas of the world today. But, just how far removed is their society from that of our own? The Konyak Nagas may practice their traditions and beliefs in a shockingly different way to ourselves, but the morals and aims of this highly protective and insular tribe may yet prove to be much the same.
