short description
Apatani haversack is a multi-purpose carrying bag, used primarily while traveling, on hunting expeditions, and agricultural activities. It is carried on the back, with the help of strings so that hands are free and the carrier can easily rush from one place to another. It is usually protected from the rain and other weather by a half cape made of the black fibers of some palm tree, which looks like bearskin.
Haversack is also a reflection of tribalism, where the Apatani feel attached to nature. The use of locally available biodegradable materials shows the commitment of the tribe towards eco-friendliness or being sustainable in their craftsmanship. The haversacks are now used as traditional artifacts and readily displayed in museums and cultural exhibits for the promotion of Apatani culture.
