The Angami Naga-s wear a small loin cloth, coloured coats, coloured feathers on their head and holding their spears and shields dance with great vigour.
Sometimes these dances reflect the head-hunting customs of bygone days. It is creditable that these people have protected their age-old traditions and warrior-like habits in spite of their exposure to civilization around them.
