Quoting form Julian Jacobs', THE NAGAS, "The morung, or youth's dormitory, is typically a huge building which physically dominates a Naga village. The morung fulfills various functions. It is a sleeping place for the young unmarried men and in former raiding days it served as a guard-house for the warriors. It is in some senses a school, since young people learn about social practices and belief from their elders (there)." (page 27)
