  • Nagaland Hornbill 3

    Nagaland Hornbill 3

    A P O C K E T G U I D E HORNBILL FESTIVAL www.offbeattracks.co ABOUT It was in the year 2000 that the State Government, desirous of promoting tourism, embarked upon an ambitious project to exploit the cultural assets of Nagaland through a weeklong long festival to coincide with the celebration of Nagaland Statehood Day on 1st December. Thus happened the inception of the Nagaland Hornbill Festival, so named in collective reverence to the bird enshrined in the cultural ethos of the Nagas to espouse the spirit of unity in diversity. Nagaland is a cultural mosaic of diverse multi-ethnicity sprung up by the several tribes that inhabit the State. Each community celebrates its myriad festivals revolving around the agrarian calendar that makes Nagaland by default, a land of festivals. ABOUT Eighteen years on, the festival, an intangible heritage asset, has been aptly tag lined in the changed moniker - "NAGALAND HORNBILL FESTIVAL: FESTIVAL OF FESTIVALS" to encompass through collective celebration the colour and vibrant elements of all the tribal festivities and give a glimpse of Naga life to titillate cultural sensibilities. What emerged from a local heritage event has now metamorphed to a national and international festival and has become a must visit and notable attraction in the travel itinerary of both domestic and international travellers. LOCATION Hornbill Festival is held at Naga Heritage Village, Kisama which is about 12 km from Kohima. All the tribes of Nagaland take part in this festival. The state is mostly mountainous except those areas bordering Assam valley. Mount Saramati is the highest peak with a height of 3,840 metres and its range forms a natural barrier between Nagaland and Burma.

If “Life” acts as a metaphor for the centrality of this delicacy, then “Seasons” could denote its vicissitudes— the climatic, economic, and social factors affecting the production of bambooshoots. Would we be correct in surmising so? Dolly Kikon (DK): I chose to name my first film Seasons of Life due to the interconnectedness of human and plant life. It speaks of our dependence on bamboo and how it has sustained livelihoods, cuisines, and culture. Bamboo is integral to Naga village architecture. Bambooshoot is integral to traditional Naga cuisine. My documentary focuses on the lives of women who forage and ferment bambooshoot in in Nagaland. Fermented bambooshoot is a delicacy as well as an everyday staple for many communities across Northeast India. It is an integral part of the food culture there and links the region to its Southeast Asian and East Asian neighbours. In Nagaland and its neighbouring states like Manipur, Assam, Arunachal Pradesh, Tripura, Meghalaya, Sikkim, and Mizoram, bambooshoot is used in various forms: fresh, soaked in brine, and dried. As one of the protagonists in the documentary, Pithunglo, tells us, fermented bambooshoot is a vital spice for
