The Zeme Nagas, one of the three kindred tribes of the Zeliangrong community and one of the major tribe of Nagaland, have a rich cultural heritage rooted in oral tradition, folklore, and unique institutions such as the Morung system. This paper explores the historical and cultural significance of the Morung culture of the Zeliangrong Nagas. Every Zeme Naga community maintained Morungs, a youth dormitories for both boys and girls in the village. It is an essential part of the village institution and serves as a vital indigenous educational institution. Emphasizing on experiential learning and community values, the Morungs served as a platform for vocational training, cultural education and moral development of the young boys and girls. With the advent of Christianity, formal education, and modernization, this institution has lost its importance and much of its functional relevance. However, its cultural legacy continues to inspire values of discipline, cooperation, and community service. This paper argues for a reevaluation of its traditional systems like the Morung and their integration into contemporary cultural and educational paradigms for their preservation.
