HEAD HUNTERS Throughout northeastern India and parts of western Myanmar the Naga tribes gondola breckenridge were long feared for their ferocity gondola breckenridge in war and for their sense of independence both from each other and from the rest of the world.

The taking of an enemy s head was considered a sign of strength, and a man who had not claimed a head was not considered a man. Fortunately for tourists, headhunting was officially outlawed in 1935, with the last recorded occurrence in 1963. Nonetheless, severed heads are still an archetypal artistic motif found notably on yanra (pendants) that originally denoted the number of human heads a warrior had taken. Some villages, such as Shingha Changyuo in Mon district, still retain their hidden collection of genuine gondola breckenridge skulls.
