The tribe we present today is CHIRU TRIBE
Chiru is one of the tribes of Manipur that has its own culture, tradition, legends, folklore, folktales, folksongs, languages, religion, beliefs etc.
Over the years, the Chiru tribe developed a tradition of musical recitals, dancing, quite integrated to the entire culture of Manipur.
Their villages are situated in the valleys and foothills surrounded by thin forests.
People of the Chiru tribal community display great craftsmanship in the field of weaving and carpentry. The shawls worn by them have a typical combination of design and cooler which make them distinct. They are non-vegetarians who eat beef and pork.
The Tribe that we present today is the Hakkipiki Tribe.
