- Ethnic youth dormitories are a traditional institution among several ethnic societies of the world including the various ethnic groups of India, the ethnic groups of South-East Asia, and the native Americans. Among many ethics groups, the youth dormitory is a now declining or defunct institution. For example, among several ethnic groups of Northeast India, the traditional dormitories (called Morung) became dysfunctional in the 20th century, with the advent of modern educational institutions and Christianity. However, among some ethnic groups, such as the Nagas, it has continued to exist as a socio-cultural institution. (en)
