Folklore refers to an unrecorded culture expression of a people. The collections of traditional customs, beliefs, proverbs, legends, music, dances, myth and stories passed through generation by word of mouth. The Tangkhul Naga tribe people are devoid of a written script, their history and practices can be revealed through oral tradition. In such societies, information about the past can be learned and reconstruct from the memories of the community elders and folklore. Some scholars do argue that the oral history is full of myth and legends, and their accounts and explanation may not be complete fact in scientific sense. The Tangkhul society has undergone tremendous change as a result of the impact of Christianity and modern education in the 20th century.

Oral history, traditional customs, myth, legends, beliefs.
