The Arrow Chang is a traditional collection of three bamboo arrows utilized by the Chang Naga Tribe of Nagaland, India. The Chang Nagas have a very deep-rooted hunting culture, and these arrows were made to catch birds using natural materials and indigenous techniques passed down through generations. The Arrow Chang is generally made from lightweight flexible, easy to handle bamboo selected from among fine grades of bamboo longer and straighter for a no-wobble flight. Sharp bamboo or small metal tips mark arrowheads for precision rather than penetration since the objects of hunt are frail. There exists a very slight variation among the three arrows in size or shape, enough for hunters to select according to range and bird.
The Arrow Chang is like a glorified testament to this culture and relationship between the Chang Naga and nature. Hunting birds has not only been food at the end of this activity but also a test of patience, skill, and marksmanship. These arrows were shot with traditional bamboo bows and most likely used for hunting in groups, but in some cases alone in the forest. Owing to legal constraints and modernization, many of such practices have decreased today, but artifacts like the Arrow Chang remain as significant cultural artifacts which at times find their places in museums, and at times preserved in communities as examples of ethnic identity and craftsmanship.
