Konyak Tirbe – Roots of Indigene

Journey Into The Aoleang Festival

Where the Hills Drum Their Stories

In the far northeast, the land rolls into misty hills and dense bamboo forests, where dawn breaks to the echo of log drums and the slow rise of wood smoke. Here, in the Mon district of Nagaland lives the Konyak Nagas, tattooed warriors, skilled hunters, and keepers of fierce traditions carrying the last living echoes of a headhunting past.

The Aoleang Festival marks the arrival of spring and the beginning of a new harvest. For the Konyaks, it is a sacred time, it’s celebration of renewal, gratitude, and ancestral memory. Villages awaken in unison: log drums thunder, rice beer flows freely, and vibrant dances erupt under starlit skies. Elders sit in quiet dignity, narrating tales of war, courage, and survival, while the younger generation carries forward rituals that bind the past to the present.

With Roots of Indigene, you don’t just watch from the sidelines, you step inside the circle. You sit cross-legged beside the fire, share space with the Angh (the village chief), hear stories that history books will never tell, and witness traditions that remain untouched by time. Between the pulse of drums and the silence of the hills, you photograph, document, and live the raw beauty of this festival.

This expedition is an , to be present for a culture that is both enduring and fragile. Experience the Aoleang Festival now, before the last of the headhunters fade into legends.
