Answer:

The Nagaland spirit stories consist of three important figures Okhe, Orah, Omei which were based on common folklore of the past.

Explanation:

The first spirit stories narrative was shared by Angamis and many other tribes, all of whom can trace their roots back to Makhel in Manipur. The spirit stories of Dziilimosiiro/Dziilimosila (meaning crystal-clear water) and her three sons are told in Ememei or Mao mythology. She was sleeping under a banyan tree when the clouds engulfed her and pregnant her with three sons, according to the account. Tiger (Okhe, representing the animal realm), God/Spirit (Orah, representing the supernatural world), and Man (Omei, representing mankind) were the three children, in that order. The sons took turns caring for Dziilimosiiro as she grew older. Okhe tormented her, Orah was a poor babysitter, but Omei was kind to her. The earth was called the mother's "navel" because it was in the middle ground, and the brothers fought over its inheritance.
