Miju Mishmi tribe

"Tanoh,Thung and Changrang" are conducted for the welfare of the family society or whatever the chief priest (Kambring) prescribes.The religious rituals are carried out by priests (Kambring) and Mishmis spend much time and substance offering sacrifices of appeasement on their instructions.There are many swords, bronze plates, ear rings, bangles, gongs and similar things with Chinese and Tibetan inscriptions.These commodities are held in high value and are hoarded by almost every household as precious possessions used in a host of ceremonies, marriage and business purposes.The production of elaichi, ginger and oranges go in the most remarkable manner and constitute a major portion of the tribe's economy.The use of timber received a big setback in the 1990s when the Supreme court of India banned the felling of trees owing to excessive deforestation in the state.Mithuns (a species of bison) are a highly valued animal used prominently as price of bride, meat, and host of other trading purposes.[citation needed] Men folk are seldom involved in any aggressive pursuit of economy, it is the women in the tribe who play a dominating role in any economic activities.The agricultural and horticultural productions having got potential passage to be supplied to open market outside of the state, it has contributed immensely to the affluence of the tribesmen.
