Salt in My Village

Naga people connect to spring slat in different ways. For many, it is health food; for some, it is healing agent; for the salt makers of Matikhrü village in Phek district of Nagaland, it means life itself. Women survivors of the violent conflict in the 1990s have sustained the knowledge and skills of salt making upto this day, which has sustained them and their families. The community today faces the viability and sustainability of this livelihood with the disappearing forest, climate change, lack of infrastructural and technological support, and the lack of social protection for the salt makers. This film documents the salt narratives of Matikhrü community, the process for the salt making and challenges thereof, and the future of salt making.
