The Mataks are a tribal group of people of Assam, belonging to Tai Mongoloid origin that lived independently in a territory of their own known as ‘Saumar’ region of Upper Assam before the advent of Sukapha and his team in the early part of 13th century into Assam. This tribal group is agrarian based consisting of agriculture as their main occupation. Although some of the people resort to other source of livelihood like tea plantation, business or government and private jobs but their number is very limited. They retain agriculture as their main source of livelihood generally by sticking with the traditional modes of cultivation.
