This talk examines Naga modes of storytelling as anticolonial epistemologies that enact Naga sovereignty in the here and now. Reflecting on the capacity of storytelling to facilitate movement between past, present, and future, the talk highlights moments of visual and aural attention that shape the Indigenous present.
