Along with the indigenous tribes and communities of Assam, a good count of migrated communities is contributing to the grandeur of greater Assamese ethnicity since time immemorial. Besides, the Assam valley being surrounded by hills, sections of many tribal groups from the hills made foothill regions and beyond their habitats from ancient times. Some of these groups were also settled by the kingdoms of the valley. One example of such settlement is that of a small group of Konyak Naga community in Sivasagar district of Assam. Even if historical evidences are not enough to confirm the accurate root or causes of their migration to Assam, their existence and endeavour to assimilate with the Assamese community is a confirmed phenomenon. They have been living in this soil and have become an inalienable part of Assam with the time. This study tries to understand the historical background of the village formation and explore the assimilation process of the village with the larger Assamese society.
