Description:		In this session, Russon Dususow from the village of Buragaon in the West Kameng district of Arunachal Pradesh is narrating the story of Rani Lumum, a legendary figure in the Hrusso Aka community who is revered to this day. It is a story about how Rani Lumum conducted village meetings as The Queen of the Shañi-gübzü village of Gohaitan during the post-Independence era. As the video unfolds, Russon also narrates about her life as the daughter-in-law of Rani Lumum. She was married to Trombu Dususow, son of Rani Lumum and Drulyuw Dususow. The aim of the video is to capture and preserve the rich oral traditional art of story telling of the Hrusso Aka tribe. This art serves as an important means of passing down of knowledge from one generation to another, which is unfortunately a dying art.

Hrusso Aka is an interesting language because of its dissimilarities with other languages in the region. It is highly endangered due to the ongoing rapid language shift to Hindi. This collection contains various genre of natural and elicited language forms such as stories, mythology, conversations, songs, dances, word lists etc, and has been made possible by an IGS scholarship by ELDP and a long-standing collaboration between the researcher and members of the Hrusso Aka community.
