Konyaks tribes
✅Konyaks, the largest tribal group in Nagaland (settled in around hundred villages in the Mon district), are also found in Arunachal Pradesh and Myanmar.
✅ Recognized by their tattooed faces, they are traditional hunters and warriors but now their main occupation is agriculture.
✅They were the last to give up the practice of head-hunting, severing heads of enemies after attacking rival tribes.
