About The Rengma Naga Tribe
The Rengma Naga are a Tibeto-Burman ethnic group primarily found in the Northeastern Indian states of Nagaland and Assam. According to the 2011 Census of India, the Rengma population in Nagaland is approximately 62,951, while around 22,000 Rengmas live in Assam. The tribe refers to itself as "Njong" or "Injang".
Origins And History
The Rengma Naga are believed to be of Mongoloid descent and are thought to have migrated from Southeast Asia. They are said to have crossed the Yunnan mountain ranges and settled in the upper regions of Burma before eventually reaching their current locations in India. Historically, the practice of slavery was common among the Rengmas, with slaves being called menugetenyu and itsakesa. However, by the time the British arrived in the Naga region, slavery had largely declined, and there were no Rengma people who were slaves during that period.
Economy
The Rengma Naga are primarily agriculturalists, with their main staple crop being paddy. They practice both Jhum cultivation (shifting agriculture) and wet rice cultivation. In addition to paddy, they also grow seasonal crops and fruits.
Religion
Traditionally, the Rengma Naga worship supernatural beings. While many still follow these indigenous beliefs, Christianity has become the dominant religion among the Rengma people.
Festivals
The Rengma tribe celebrates several seasonal festivals, most of which are closely tied to agriculture. The most significant of these is the Ngada festival, which holds great cultural importance for the Rengma Naga.
