In Nagaland’s evolving socio-economic environment, where government jobs continue to be the preferred choice for many, one artisan is encouraging the youth to look within themselves and unlock the true potential of their own skills and creativity.

Tali Imdonger

Tali Imdonger, a 47-year-old craftsman and sculptor from Longsa village in Mokokchung, believes Naga youths are brimming with talent but often fall short of using it to its full potential.

“Craftsmanship is one of the best God-given talents bestowed upon Nagas,” he says, “but they often fail to embrace it in their quest for government jobs.”

For more than two decades, Tali has quietly built a reputation as a master sculptor in wood and stone, completing several notable works that now stand as cultural landmarks.

His creations include the statue of Semsalepzüng, the first Christian missionary from Longsa village, the Longsa Eagle Club Monument, and intricate woodwork at the Ao Naga Morung in Kisama Heritage Village.

His craftsmanship also adorns the solid-wood door at Mokokchung’s New DC Office and numerous village gates and community halls.

Now, Tali has turned a new page in his career – launching a specialized venture in sculpting customized tombstones. Operating from his workshop near the cemetery at Marepkong ward, Mokokchung, he aims to offer bereaved families personalized headstones crafted with care and sensitivity. Many people want something more meaningful than the usual granite or marble slabs, but there are no services available to meet that demand, and he aims to fill the gap.

Since beginning his venture last month, he has already completed several orders and expressed satisfaction in receiving positive feedback from his clients.

Tali hopes his journey inspires other skilled Naga youths to pursue their passions with diligence. “There are plenty of avenues for those willing to toil,” he says.
