The present paper explores the theme of women, land, cultural memory, spirituality and identity of Northeast Indian literature through the eyes of Indigenous feminists, especially the authors of Mamang Dai and Easterine Kire. Using Indigenous feminist theory as a lens, the research explores how both writers decentered the conventional representation of Indigenous communities, showing the land as a living cultural space that is tied to ancestors, community, spirituality and collective memory. The Black Hill, The Legends of Pensam, and River Poems by Dai are explored as works that are representative of ecological belonging, the female voice, oral traditions, and the female body to Indigenous territory. Kire's A Terrible Matriarchy, When the River Sleeps, and Sky Is My Father: A Naga Village Remembered are examined to discuss the gendered expectations, Indigenous spirituality, oral history, colonial dispossession, and cultural resistance. The study shows that both writers present women as significant agents of knowledge and knowledge transmission and also give a glimpse of conflict in the traditional social system. While Kire explores the re-awakening of Naga historical consciousness and gendered power dynamics, Dai's writing is more concerned with the ecological and poetic relationship with landscape and memory. The comparative analysis shows that Indigenous women's sense of self is constructed through the connection with land, community, ancestral knowledge, and memory. Thus, in their literature, they represent a cultural form of preservation and resistance to the erasure of patriarchy and colonialism.
