Living in rural Nagaland. Friday, 24 June 2011. Preserving the vanishing: Naga Oral Tradition. Many of the oldest oral traditions of the S. A person can write about another person very well if she has the facts and figures and the writing skills yet it is not possible for the writer to completely capture every emotion, every thought or action that runs through another individual's life-time. From one elder to the next purely through the power of memory. There are just a handful of elders left who know th...
