Sherdukpens
The Sherdukpens are also a small tribe inhabiting the southern part of
the Bondila Range in the valleys of Tengapani river. The main concentration
is spread over the three main villages of Kupa, Jigaon and Shergaon. However
at present, some of them have settled in Kameng bari areas, a new settlement
area under Bhalukpong circle.
Their society is patriarchal. A greater share of inheritance
devolves from father to the eldest son.
Monogamy is the prevailing form of marriage among the Sherdukpens.
