The rich and unique culture of the different tribes makes a remarkable contribution to the formation of the colourful cultural identity in Assam. The richness of the cultural heritage of Assam is mostly compiled from the contributions of the unique cultures of different ethnic/tribal groups. The Mising tribe is one of those tribal groups with a distinct and rich cultural heritage, which elevates Assam's cultural heritage. "Apong" is a Mising community's culture that is commonly used in all Mising tribe ceremonies. It is generally known as "Rice Beer" and is prepared at home, mostly by the female members of the family. The sustainability of "Apong" depends on the Mising women, because without their contribution, "Apong" would not be able to sustain itself and produce properly. Concerning the significance of the women's role in producing "Apong", this study seeks to evaluate the women's lived experience, visibility, and the issues of ecological security in the Mising society.
