Promote cultural tourism: Encourage people to visit the Apatani region i.e. Ziro valley where we are originated and learn about our culture. This can help create awareness and generate income for the community.
Support local artisans: The Apatani people have a rich tradition of handicrafts, such as bamboo and cane work, weaving, and pottery. Buy their products and support their livelihoods. Perhaps you also can learn to weave.
Encourage the younger generation to save our unique culture: Many young Apatani people are moving away from their traditional way of life. we must encourage them to learn about their culture and take pride in their heritage.
