This study of an oral tradition in northeast India is the first of
its kind in this part of the eastern Himalayas. A comparative
analysis reveals parallel stories in an area stretching from
central Arunachal Pradesh into upland Southeast Asia and southwest
China. The subject of the volume, the Apatanis, are a small
population of Tibeto-Burman speakers who live in a narrow valley
halfway between Tibet and Assam. Their origin myths, migration
legends, oral histories, trickster tales and ritual chants, as well
as performance contexts and genre system, reveal key cultural ideas
and social practices, shifts in tribal identity and the reinvention
of religion.
