Abstract
Livelihood of a community comprises of the capabilities, assets (including both material and social resources) and activities required for a means of living. The economic life of the Bangru is based on shifting as well as terraced cultivation because of the geo-morphological condition of their habitat. The food deficit is supplemented by occasional hunting, fishing and forest collection. Within this backdrop, the present paper is aimed to discuss the livelihood patterns of the Bangru, a numerically weak and marginalised community located in Kurung Kumey district of Arunachal Pradesh. Based on extensive fieldworks, this paper also tries to underscore the utilization and management of natural resources like land, water and forest by this lesser-known community. Further it also deals with the diverse belief systems and resource perception of the Bangrus who are still having close linkages with nature.
