Research and responses: During a visit of Naga elders and tribal leaders in June 2025, members of the delegation identified misspellings of village names and incorrect tribal affiliations for objects or ancestors associated with certain villages. In consultations with Mr Ngongba Tange Thamlong Phom, Vice President of the Phom Peoples’ Organization, 'Yanching' was identified as 'Yangching' a Phom Naga village in Longleng District, Nagaland. For all objects listed as from ‘Yanching’ the correct spelling 'Yangching' has been used and ‘Phom Naga’ has been added to the cultural group field. [EW 19/08/2025]
