About This Book

This ethnographic study surveys the Lushai and related Kuki clans, describing their habitat, physical characteristics, genealogies, and historical movements, then systematically detailing domestic life, village and household organization, agriculture, crafts, and material culture. It analyzes social structure, marriage, inheritance, chiefdoms, dispute resolution, and practices of warfare and head-hunting, and sets out religious beliefs, priesthood, sacrifices, funerary rites, festivals, and ancestor worship. The book also collects folklore, legends, omens, and witchcraft and snake superstitions, and concludes with comparative accounts of individual clans and neighbouring non-Lushai groups.
