Galo People
The Galo are a tribe in Arunachal Pradesh, India, who are descendants of Abotani. They speak the Tani Galo language. Other names which have been used to reference the Galo tribe in the past include Duba, Doba, Dobah Abor, Galo Abor, Galo, Galo Adi, Galong etc. The Galo have been listed as a scheduled tribe under the name Galo since 1950.
The Galo utilize numerous ingredients, including rice, bamboo shoot, and foraged plants. Foraged ingredients are primarily gathered by women. Commonly foraged plants include Clerodendrum glandulosum (Oin), Diplazium esculenium (Taka), Elatostema sublaxum (Oji), Ganostegia hirta (Oyik), Litsea cubeba (Tair), Piper pedicellatum (Rar), and Solanum americanum (Or-re).[citation needed]
The most common cooking method is boiling with tender bamboo shoot; steaming, roasting, smoking, and fermenting are also popular. The most common steamed dish is chicken intestine, while smoking is often used with fish and meat in general. During festivals, it is common to cook rice (sometimes mixed with meat, fish, or wild plants) in bamboo tubes, which are cooked over a fire.[citation needed]
Bamboo shoot is prepared in multiple ways, including fermentation, grinding and drying. A common chutney is made from dried chili, roasted sesame, bamboo shoot, and dried fish.[citation needed]
The Galo usually eat three meals each day. Frequently, breakfast and lunch are rice, boiled potatoes, and boiled greens. Dinner also may add boiled fish.[citation needed]
In Galo folklore, Turi or eri is the common ancestor of Tani (the first human-being and the ancestor of human-beings), Taki (the ancestor of spirits) and Tanyo [the ancestor of cat families which include Nyote (tiger), Nyopak-takar (leopard), Nyoke (Panther), Nyoli, Nyomuk, Nyoji (various species of wild cats)]. This folkloric relation signifies the harmonious relationship that the Galo society shares with other living and non-living forms.
One saying goes:
"tumsi nyomara lo, hottum elam go hore lelam go doma rem yobe nyine hage ha rem. Tumsi nyomra irga kama, isi opo kama rem mopin e irga kama. Sile boso gobo golak go goka kichin gatugo ao go kama rem nyiram re."
