The Nah people are a small tribal group residing in the Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh.
However, relations with their neighbors were often unstable; for instance, the shift of preference of their northern Tibetan trading partners in a 1906 incident resulted in a massacre which claimed many lives from their tribal group.
Both Buddhist Lamas and traditional Shamans, known as Nyibu in the native tongue, are employed for religious occasions.
[3] Like most tribes living in higher elevations, they build permanent houses made of stone and cultivate the usable land.
[4] The Nah are more closely related to the Tagin both ethnically and linguistically than to Tibetans, but they claim to be a separate group, like the Mara who live in Limeking.
