Tribal Villages Knowledge Hub
Tribal Villages of Northeast India
A verified, source-cited encyclopedia of the region's tribal villages — organised by state, district and tribe. Every page is cross-checked against tier-1 government, tier-2 tourism-board and peer-reviewed sources. Villages where facts cannot be verified from at least two independent trusted sources are held in a review queue and not published.

Editorial policy
This hub is a long-term project. Villages are added only after facts can be cross-checked against at least two independent tier-1 or tier-2 sources — government departments, state tourism boards, district administration sites, the Ministry of Tribal Affairs, ASI, UNESCO, and peer-reviewed ethnography. Travel blogs are used only for practical visitor information, never for historical or cultural claims.
