Indigenous peoples of Assam

Indigenous peoples of Assam are the original ethnic communities native to the region, each with unique cultures, languages, and traditions. They include groups like the Bodo, Karbi, Dimasa, Mishing, and Rabha, among others. These communities have historically lived in harmony with the land, practicing agriculture, hunting, and traditional crafts. Their identities are deeply connected to Assam’s diverse geography and history. Recognized as Scheduled Tribes or communities, they contribute significantly to the state’s cultural mosaic and face ongoing efforts to preserve their heritage, rights, and autonomy within the broader Indian framework.
