Abstract: The Galo tribe in the study area relies on a diverse range of indigenous hunting techniques, essential for their livelihood and food security. Hunting holds a crucial place in the community's traditional culture, with locals employing unique methods and trapping techniques rooted in their indigenous knowledge. These approaches are environmentally friendly and demand minimal investment. The main objective of the research is to assess the Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and sustainable practices in indigenous hunting among the Galo tribe of Lower Siang and Lepa Rada districts of Arunachal Pradesh. To achieve its objective, this study relies on purposive sampling and primarily gathers data through a field survey of hunters encompassing their historical hunting practices, techniques employed in hunting, the species they target and the timing of their hunting activities. On the other hand, snowball sampling technique has been employed in identifying the hunters. The data collection is conducted using household schedules administered through interview methods. Information on the hunted species was collected based on hunter’s reports and the remains (skulls, skins, horns and teeth) found in the villages. Hunters actively demonstrated various traps and techniques, occasionally creating models to explain their mechanisms. It was found out that hunting is intricately connected to their Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) and cultural heritage, a legacy handed down through generations. Notably, information regarding indigenous hunting techniques in this area is limited. Therefore, this study aimed to document the traditional knowledge associated with the indigenous hunting practices practiced by the Galo tribe in the Lower Siang and Lepa Rada districts of Arunachal Pradesh.Abstract: The Galo tribe in the study area relies on a diverse range of indigenous hunting techniques, essential for their livelihood and food security.
