Spinning threads from silkworm cocoons
Joya Medok Doley demonstrates the process of extracting silk threads from a silkworm cocoon bundle called takuri kénam. The silkworms are fed green leaves and kept in a dark room to mature. Once they have formed cocoons, the cocoons are grouped and rolled in a bamboo roller called takpín. From the takpín, silk threads are extracted into a second roller which is thinner, called poːpi.

Description of millet plantation, part 1
Mrs. Humchung is one of the oldest people living in Thragom village. She describes the process of millet plantation. Firstly, they planted seedlings of millet, and after a few weeks, they made the soil loose. She says they practiced the labor exchange program, where they didn’t make cash payments to workers. During the break, they are offered fermented wine in an ox horn. Before millet plantation, they would get goats from Tawang in Arunachal Pradesh, India, and use the manure as fertilizer. She says that millet was planted before the arrival of the magpie, and that planting millet after the arrival of the magpie was considered late and generally wouldn’t have a good yield.
