ABSTRACT: Taboos form an important component of tribal society. In the Apatani society too taboo is known
as Anyo-Nii and it is essential in their religious life. The member of family, lineage and sub-clan
observes Anyo-Nii according to the prescription and advice of the Nyibu (priest). This is done
according to the nature of ritual and sacrifices. There is a version regarding the origin of food
crops and restrictions of having some foods during observation of the taboos. According to the
priestly version of the myth the Apatani, eatable items came from two Gods- Hintii and Arii.
