THE KONYAK NAGA The Indigenous Crafts, Textiles and Attires by Lemei C Konyak (Hard Cover)

Author: Lemei C Konyak

Edited by C.N. Moe

With the coming of the Western civilization in the form of Christianity and modern education, Konyak Nagas were introduced to new changes that improved their standard of living on one hand, while on the other hand, depreciating or devaluating their rich art and culture which was passed down for many generations. This book is an attempt to revive an interest in the minds of the Konyak people both young and old to look back to their glorious past so that they can rediscover the meaning behind every single costume and indigenous item, thereby giving those attires and ornament their rightful place in the post-modern era.
