Community solidarity perhaps defines best the concept of land-man relationship in Naga society. Traditionally land is considered, a gift from God/Nature and its resources a blessing. There is no monetary value attached to land as land was beyond the material value and land with its resources belonged to the community; where individual land ownership was temporary and usage based. Every village among the existing tribes practiced sovereignty; as such, there exist variation even in their relationship to the land as a resource and their management as well as development. However, a new emerging trend of monetisation has infiltrated his community solidarity and created individualism in their relationship to land. Though this is transitional and not pre-determined, yet it creates a scenario where accumulation of resources is observed in the hands of a few elite groups. It also tends to breach the harmonious relationship of man as stewards of the land
