Abstract
Tribal communities traditionally rely on occupations rooted in their natural environment and cultural heritage. These occupations have been passed down through generations. Traditional livelihoods provide economic sustenance and play a vital role in preserving cultural heritage and promoting sustainable resource management. Due to a lack of sufficient scope for livelihood, they are forced to adopt modern occupations that are new to them. In light of the above statements, the present study deals with the occupational changes among the Longpi. This paper throws light on the traditional occupations of the Longpi, followed by a shift in their traditional occupation. This paper is purely qualitative, employing both primary and secondary sources of data collection. An active participation observation was used for in-depth face-to-face interaction with the informants.
