Nagaland Indigenous Tribes Cultural Resource Centre inaugurated

Aimed at preserving and promoting the cultural heritage of the State’s indigenous tribes, the Nagaland Indigenous Tribes Cultural Resource Centre was inaugurated on Thursday. Nagaland Government’s advisor for art and culture, K Konngam Konyak, said the centre reflected a thoughtful and forward-looking vision to not only preserve traditions but also to create a space where the cultural traditions could be practised and passed on to future generations. He said all 16 recognised tribes of the state have been represented in the centre through dedicated spaces for showcasing their heritage. The facility would also promote mutual respect, understanding and unity among the tribes while serving as a hub for exhibitions, learning, research, documentation and cultural activities, he said.
