Adi is one of the major tribes of Arunachal Pradesh, a state of India. Adis have two main divisions - Bogum and Bomi. These two divisions have also many sub-tribes. One group of tribes is comprised of Minyonfs, Karkos, Shimongs, Bomdo, Janbos, Panggis, Palibos, Bogums, Padams, Milangs and so on. The other is comprised of Gallong and seven other sub-tribes. The Adis by nature are democratic and have an unique sense of history. They have well organised village council called 'Kebang'. Adi villages are situated generally on the spurs of hills. Polyandry is unknown among them, but polygamy is practised. Adi women are very good weavers and weave cloth with highly artistic designs. Their traditional dance is called 'Ponung'.
