Yes the red star is Christmas star. And the graves, Angami people burry their love ones close to them, on their own property.
Those stones are graves or land boundaries or stones erected for resting while carrying heavyweight basket in the back. Nice coverage. Appreciate it.
Nomadic indian is also in northeast india now❤
Good coverage of north east remotes areas, even we indians never got chance to visit these places 👍

🎉 Most of the sons and daughters have moved out of the village for businesses or jobs or studies.
8:40… build by clans as resting place to rest or for picnic during rainy seasons, or strangers or hunters to make fire and sleep overnight. Available for public use.
🎉🎉🎉 The circles with sitting stones is for elders to sit and discuss issues when required.
🎉🎉🎉 Anyone is allowed to gather fallen wild apples, not climb trees. November – December outsiders come to Dzuleke for picnic and collect wild apples. Some use it to for pickles, a few for wine.
🎉🎉🎉. Alder trees can be harvested every four years for firewood. They rotate and harvest every year, preserving the other trees.
🎉🎉🎉🎉. You paid about $5. Thanks. Very safe and respectful. Most of the educated settled outside village, so you didn't find to chat in more engaging manner.
🎉🎉🎉
