This is probably my favorite outtake from our Naga coverage. The Northeast Indian state of Nagaland is home to 16 indigenous hill tribes. Formerly headhunters, today 90% of Nagas are baptized Christians. Warrior ways have continued, however, with armed insurgents fighting India for autonomy. This month, the Central Government just signed a peace framework with the largest insurgent group, the NSCN-IM.
