Description of a traditional house interior
Rebot Pegu describes the interior of a traditional family home in Ratanpur village which is built on raised platforms. Méram, the lowest platform made of mud and wood, is where food is cooked. It is cleaned every day. Pérab, the hanging platform made of bamboo, is where dried fish and meats are smoked. Rébbong, another hanging platform, is used to store large items like earthen pots or épo, a traditional platelike utensil made of bamboo which separates husks from grains. Ríːsíng, the open space to the left of méram, is where the elderly people sit. Koktok, the open space to the right of méram, is where the women responsible for the cooking sit. The bamboo pieces are placed close together in ríːsíng, whereas in koktok, they are placed wider apart to allow space for washing. Before electricity was available in the village, lamps were hung on the corners of the méram.

Description and performance of a traditional instrument
Prodip Kumbang describes and performs the traditional instrument éjuk tapum while attending the Dírbí Kébang in Telam village. He is from Sikari, Gali Borbari, Dhemaji, and is the current president of the Mising Cultural Association of Jonai region, Dhemaji, Assam. He says the éjuk tapum is of three types, depending on the number of holes in the instrument. If the instrument has one hole, it is called tumbo; pumsu for two; and lísíg for three. Pumsu is the current logo of the Mising Cultural Association of Assam. Éjuk tapum is believed to be the oldest musical instrument of the Mising community. Before migrating to the plains, the Misings resided in the hills, and they believed that Karki Mili was the first person to play the éjuk tapum. It was originally made from bottle gourds and bamboo. This particular bottle gourd used to make the instrument is poisonous and people are forbidden to consume them. These bottle gourds can be found only in the hills.
