The Story Behind the Eastern Himalayan Apatani Tribe Women's Nose Plugs | Tradition & Identity

In the serene hills of Hong Village Northeast India, the Apatani tribe carries a unique tradition that’s slowly disappearing with time. If you meet an older Apatani woman, you might notice something unusual—large wooden plugs in her nose.

This wasn't a fashion statement.

According to tribal lore, Apatani women were once so Admired for Their Beauty that rival tribes would Abduct them. To protect themselves, they began wearing Nose Plugs and Tattooing their faces—not as shame, but as Strength.

Today, the practice is Banned, and the Younger Generation no longer follows it. But for the Elders, these marks tell a Powerful story of Resistance, Resilience, and Identity.

Step into the serene world of the Apatani tribe of Arunachal Pradesh, India — a community known for their sustainable way of life and deep connection to nature. In this documentary, we explore:

🌾 Traditional wet rice cultivation with integrated fish farming
🔥 Daily cooking practices using local ingredients and firewood
🏡 Unique village life, and customs
🌿 Eco-friendly living in harmony with the land

The Apatani people's methods offer valuable lessons in sustainability and community-based living. Shot in the breathtaking Ziro Valley, this video captures the spirit of a culture that continues to thrive with dignity and tradition.
