"Maring oral tradition"

1.According to Maring oral tradition the Marings lived in Leinung (a cave) called Nungmuisho at Kulvi Songsang (in upper Burma), in about 10,000 B.C. to 1,800 B.C.

2.The cave however was a confined space blocked by a huge rock which the people were unable to remove.

3.They sent three animals in succession to bore through the rock—the third animal, a mithun (which resembles a bull) succeeded. 4.The Marings migrated to the upper region of the earth, but before doing that they sent out a cock, pig, and dog which were eaten by a fierce giant Sovi-yah.

5.So three clansmen were trained to kill the giant.

6.The Maring moved to different places in Burma and then to Manipur.

7.According to M. Moshil Kansou, the Maring moved to a valley in Manipur called Moirangkhom.

8.Col. McCulloch stated that “the Marings say a position of their place of origin is the part of the Munnipore capital at present called ‘Haubum Maruk’, and another portion is at Leisang Kong, a village in the valley some seven or eight miles south of the capital”.

9.G. A. Grierson concurs but adds that they inhabited also a few small villages in the Heirok range of hills which separates Manipur from upper Burma.

10.R. Brown citing Maring tradition—“we originally came out of the earth near the eastern foot of the eastern Heirok range, but in the Kabbo valley at a place called Mungsa”. 11.But K. S. Singh, M. Horam, and S. H. M. Rizvi assert that their origin was from the Kulvi songsang and Wasafai (Washaphai) from the Kabow valley in the east.

12.B. C. Allen writes: the Marings are a small tribes who live to the south of the Tangkhul Nagas.

13.The Aimols are another smaller Naga clan (tribe) who live south of the Maring (Maring, 2014, pp. 8-18).

14.Different Naga tribes claimed that they went out in different directions after their dispersal from Makhel; the Shupfomei remained. “Pou” had been the first to reach Makhel, so he stayed back with his elder son Meo, from whose descendants came the present Mao tribe (they occupy the northern portion of Manipur adjoining Nagaland).
