Detailed Description

The Naga cultural identity is obscured by speculations, assumptions, and lack of proper records and literature. While there are quite a handful of books written on the history, the political scenes, and some anthropological books on a few tribes, they fall short in conveying to those who are curious what the Naga cultural identity is. This is due to the lack of indigenous written accounts and lack of insight from the people within the tribal communities. This is attributed to the Nagas lacking a written script and having passed down most of their knowledge orally. In this project, using an interactive narrative, there will be an attempt to help the general people understand some parts of the Naga culture while preserving some of it in a novel way. The resulting design is a digital tool that acts as a repository for dozens of stories that aid in experiencing and understanding Naga culture through a variety of narratives.
