captionTraditional facial and body tattoos are significant in Konyak culture. INDIA RARE images reveal the lives of the last of the "headhunters" of northeast India. Also known as the Headhunters, the Konyak people are believed to be one of the earliest tribes to migrate to India's Nagaland. They were historically known for their practice of headhunting, a tradition that has been abandoned since 1960, but some of the men pictured are old enough to remember or even participated in this fearsome practice. This tribe was known for its affinity for war and often attacked nearby villages of other tribes, taking the heads of opposing warriors as trophies to hang in the Morong (a communal house). Headhunters were highly respected, and the number of heads taken was a symbol of bravery and status. Despite their reputation for sowing fear in their neighbours, the tribal members maintain a very disciplined community life with strict duties and responsibilities for every individual. As seen in the images, traditional facial and body tattoos are significant in Konyak culture. They symbolise various achievements, including headhunting exploits. Some elderly men still possess these face tattoos. They are also skilled artisans known for their woodwork, beadwork, and intricate traditional attire. They craft wooden carvings, brassware, and traditional weapons. Mrinal Sen, a photographer from India, captured these rarely-seen images of the tribe. “My visit to Nagaland and interaction with the Konyak tribe was nothing less than a life-changing experience,” he told mediadrumworld.com. “This tribe is often misunderstood for its ancient ways; they are, in fact, peaceful and generous people. “The Konyak enjoy community living and believe in sharing their food with other families.” ENDs
