Garo Tribes prefer to be called "A"chik" or "Mande". The Garos regard themselves as the descendants of a common ancestress, but scholars believe that Garos came from Tibet. The Garos are of the Mongoloid stock. By nature, the Garos are cheerful, peace loving and hospitable. Food, music and dance are the integral part of their lifestyle. This tribe is mostly found in the hilly regions of northeast India but does anyone know what is the origin of this tribe? Is the community native to India or ancient migrants?

A matrilocal and matrilineal society is prevalent among the Garo tribes. Decent and inheritance are reckoned through the mother. The woman enjoys a higher status in the society. Community ownership of property prevails in the Garo society. The Garo tribe is sub-divided into different linguistic and cultural groups such as Aure, Chisak, Matchi-Dual, Metabeng, Ateng, Chibok, Ruga, Gara-Ganching, Megham, Dussani and Cheani. Monogamy is the general rule though Polygamy is allowed.
Can anyone tell me more interesting facts about the culture of this tribal community?
