Padam tribe
The Padam are one of the sub-groups of the Adi people of Arunachal Pradesh. Rich in both cultural and oral tradition, the Padams are known for fiercely guarding their Democratic Society.
The Padam reside in the hills and the valleys of East Siang, Upper Siang and Lower Dibang Valley Districts. Famous for their community strength and feared for their war tactics.
Damro is one of the most important ancestral places of the Padams. Its importance is passed down in oral recitation and daily beliefs and because many of the generations remember it as the place from where their forefathers migrated. Damro in true Adi Style(which is typical of Adi linguistic practises) Stands or is made out of two basic words, Padam and Aro. Padam is the name of the group. Aro means real or original. Dambuk, Silluk, Kiyit, Ngopok, Ayeng and Bolung are some well known Padam villages with interesting ancestry.
Each village has a village Head under whom all the proceedings of the Kebangs (meetings) are held. These Kebangs are held to settle sny disputes among local villagers
