The Garo live in the East and West Garo Hills District of the state of Meghalaya in India. The Garo are a major aboriginal group in the region and are divided into nine subtribes. The Garos practice a slash-and-burn cultivation. Land for shifting cultivation is owned by the clan. The household is the primary production and consumption unit. The Garos reckon their kinship through the mother and inherit property in the female line. The Garos follow either Christianity or a traditional faith known as Songsarek.
