The Nishi tribe is a Sino-Indian tribe, concentrated around Arunachal Pradesh in India. Photographed is a Nishi tribal man at Lumdung, Arunachal Pradesh. The unique headdress, which features a Great Indian Hornbill beak on the top, and in this case, monkey hair at the back is a distinguishing feature of the tribe. The headdress itself is made of bamboo/cane, which the tribals weave themselves. They tie their hair in a knot at the front, and pass a slender brass skewer through it. Photo credit: Doniv |
