The Naga people have a strong tradition of warriors. In the past Naga villages were usually found on hilltops as a vantage point for their warriors to protect their villages from all angles. It was common for Naga warriors to use spears decorated with Naga shell beads. Most of the Naga tribes have a similar way of dressing and eating and also have similar customs, traditions and laws.
