History
The Apatani tribes have no known written records of their history. However, throughout their history, they have operated under a democratic system to govern their society.
The first interaction with Europeans took place in 1897, when British officials stayed in the valley for a brief two-day period. Similar short visits occurred six times between the 1920s and 1930s. In 1944, an anthropologist-administrator established a temporary government outpost, marking the first significant contact the Apatani had with a governmental presence. When a second, permanent outpost was established by the Assam Rifles in 1948 to safeguard the land, the Apatanis launched an attack in response.
