Indigenous Naga communities in Myanmar have called upon the Government of Myanmar to recognize “the customary tenure system and respect their rights to own, use and govern over the lands, territories and resources” of the Naga Village Republic. The Nagas have occupied them “since time immemorial,” declared the communities at the launch of the advocacy campaign for the “recognition of Naga territories and land and forest management rights.”
