Introduction / History

The Chorei Halam are a sub-tribe of the larger Halam community. Hundreds of years ago, their ancestors migrated to Tripura, a state in northeastern India.

What Are Their Lives Like?

Though most are subsistence farmers, fishing and livestock herding supplement their diets. Some Kaipeng Halams have government jobs, teach, or own small shops. Their women weave garments and fabrics for their own use and to sell.

They marry outside their clans, and there must be the consent of both parties before there is a wedding. Weddings involve religious and cultural ceremonies. There is always a huge, elaborate wedding feast. The Kaipeng Halams allow for divorce. Village counsels decide matters of child custody and property division.

What Are Their Beliefs?

Kaipeng Halams are half Christian and half Hindu.

What Are Their Needs?

Kaipeng Halams need modern farming techniques so they can get higher yields for their crops. They also need easier access to medical care.
