The US mission in India on Tuesday joined representatives from the Ministry of Tourism’s Northeast Regional Office and UNESCO’s International Information and Network for Intangible Cultural Heritage in the Asia-Pacific (ICHCAP) to celebrate the cultural heritage of the indigenous tribes of Arunachal Pradesh through the launch of a new website.

In December 2021, the US had launched a program through the Ambassador’s Fund for Cultural Preservation to work with tribe members from 39 villages across the state to preserve and document their heritage through a series of short documentary films.
