2. The Apatanis live in very closely constructed houses in the villages. Apart from the advantages of living close by, this
arrangement has a great disadvantage during fire accidents.

3. A traditional Apatani house is identified by its use of tall vertical wooden stilts, tight weave of the walls and the floors, and
bamboo roofing. Different parts of the house use bamboos of different sizes and preparations.

4. The Apatanis employ unique fencing techniques for land demarcation involving fences made of elaborate structures and
living shrubs. Their plot demarcation system is remarkably different from the other tribes in terms of height and density - the
Apatanis have very tall and tight fences while their neighboring tribes have short and sparse fences.

5. The Apatanis practice wet rice cultivation with an intricate irrigation and channel system in the field as well as across the
network of fields.

7. The Apatanis used to practice facial tattooing and modification until the 1970s. The females used to have two sets of tattoos: one running
from the forehead to the tip of the nose, and another set on the chin. The males used to have a less elaborate tattoo on the chin in the shape
of a "T". The females were the only one practicing facial modification with the use of nose plugs, called yaping hurlo in the local language.
