The Apatanis were among the first Indian tribes to have contact with the British in the 12th century. Several historical documents record their cultural evolution through time. Traditional folk stories, songs, and couplets remain an integral part of their oral heritage, which continues to be a living tradition passed down through generations in the forms of Miji-Migun and Busi-Ayu.
