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 drying paddies
Raju Doley is seen drying paddy in the sun. He says this paddy is one of the agotiyang aam, meaning "paddy that is done before the actual season". The paddy for the next season can be seen at the back in green, called horu jangiya. Since it had been raining for the past few days, he was not able to dry the paddy in the sun. Now he dries the wet paddies on a rope and begins assembling dried paddies for the next steps.

Conversation about Mising traditions, part 1
Dipok Kumar Doley and Bidyeswar Doley discuss childhood living in a chang ghar, a bamboo house built on a raised platform made of thick bamboo. Dipok Kumar Doley says traditional dishes were not fried; green leafy vegetables such as takuk, ombé, onger, pakkom, gurban, mírné koːtuk, takpiyang, beso-beyo, oti oying with fish, deer or pork were boiled. He describes traditional health practices; during pregnancy and after delivery, green leafy vegetables such as rukji and marsang, along with black pepper and local chicken boiled as a stew, and rice beer are given as remedies for the mother. They describe local festivals like Ali-aːyé-lígang, held on the first Wednesday of February, and celebrations for weddings and births.

Conversation about Mising traditions, part 2
Dipok Kumar Doley and Bidyeswar Doley discuss local festivals in the Mising community, starting with Ali-aːyé-lígang, held on the first Wednesday of February. The Mising pray to Donyi-Poːlo (Sun and Moon), Karsíng, Kartak, Doːmup-Doːyar, Ésar (Wind), Podong (Rain), and Tapum-Tari (insects) for a better harvest the following year, health, and wealth. They eat purang, apong, and oying. Dr. Bidyeswar says that family members of all ages would participate in the prayers and activities, but now this is rarely seen. Similarly, Bihu celebrations are less prominent in recent years. Dipok Kumar Doley urges youngsters to stay alert and to take proper care of the Mising language, culture, and clothing or else they will become extinct.
