Nocte
{
The Nocte people, also known as the Nocte Naga, are a Tibeto-Burmese ethnic group primarily living in Northeast Indian state of Arunachal Pradesh. They number about 111,679 (Census 2011), mainly living in the Patkai hills of Tirap district of Arunachal Pradesh, India. Ethnically related to the Konyak Naga, their origins can be traced back to the Hukong Valley in Myanmar, from where they migrated to India in the 15th and 16th centuries.
Their chiefs who were originally known as Ang exert control over the village with their council, the "Ngoang-Wang" (modern-day cabinet). Since they did not have an army under their control they would consult trusted family (lowang-tang) on crucial matters. The Chief also consult village elders and priests on all important socio-religious ceremonies.
