The practice was common up to the 20th century and may still be practiced in isolated Naga tribes in Burma. Many of the Naga warriors still bear the tattoo markings of a successful headhunt. In Assam, in the northeast of India, all the peoples living south of the Brahmaputra River—Garos, Khasis, Nagas, and Kukis—formerly were headhunters including the Mizo of the Lusei Hills who also hunt heads of their enemies which was latter abolished when Christianity was introduced in that region. |
