Sümi Hoho urges immediate implementation of Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland

Kohima: Nagaland’s influential tribal organization, Sümi Hoho (SH), has appealed to the state government for prompt and effective implementation of the Register of Indigenous Inhabitants of Nagaland (RIIN).

In a statement issued on Saturday, SH President Dr Vihuto Asumi emphasized the importance of RIIN in safeguarding the identity, rights, and privileges of indigenous people of Nagaland.

He also highlighted the crucial role of RIIN in preserving the unique cultural heritage of Nagaland.

Recognising that in a rapidly changing world, where external influences and migrations continue to shape the region, he highlighted the utmost importance of preserving the indigenous people’s unique identity and cultural heritage.

The Sumi Hoho emphasized that the RIIN acted as a legal shield, safeguarding indigenous rights from being diluted. Only those with authentic connections to the land were eligible to claim the benefits and protections granted to native inhabitants.

Asumi warned that without a clear and comprehensive register, the indigenous identity of Nagas could be diluted, leading to potential conflicts and social unrest.

By clearly defining and documenting who qualifies as an indigenous inhabitant, he said future conflicts or confusion over land ownership, customary laws, and political representation could be prevented.

The SH president stressed the need for a uniform cut-off date of December 1, 1963, across all regions of Nagaland, including Dimapur.

He rejected the proposed alternative cut-off date of November 21, 1979 for Dimapur, arguing that it would create inconsistencies and undermine the fairness of the verification process.

SH emphasized the need for a single, consistent cut-off date to ensure fairness and maintain the integrity of indigenous identity across the entire state.

While commending the state government’s recent decision to proceed with RIIN, SH expressed concerns about potential misuse of the register.

To ensure the integrity of the process, the organization advocated for strict measures to prevent fraudulent claims and ensure that only genuine indigenous inhabitants benefit from the register.

SH called for a transparent and fair verification process, involving traditional village authorities and institutions.

The organization pledged its full cooperation with the government and relevant authorities to facilitate a smooth and credible verification process.

The Sümi Hoho further urged the Nagaland government to implement RIIN without delay, adhering to the uniform cut-off date and taking necessary measures to prevent misuse.
