'''Onaeme Hill''', also called '''Oinam''', is a [[Poumai Naga people|Poumai Naga]] village situated about 40 km from the [[Senapati district]] headquarters.

== History ==
The village is known for its folk art of pouli pottery, which is traditionally made by women. Historically, the village served as an economic hub due to its pottery industry, and it sold pottery to other nearby villages. The importance of the pottery industry lessened as industrialization made metal utensils more commonly available.<ref>{{cite web |title=The 25th Anniv.

On 9 July 1987, an [[Assam Rifles]] outpost at Onaeme Hill was attacked by the [[National Socialist Council of Nagaland]]. A counter-mission called Operation Bluebird was launched ostensibly to capture the attackers and retrieve the weapons that they had stolen. However, the Assam Rifles instead attacked surrounding villages and killed many innocent civilians.<ref>{{cite web |date=5 November 2014 |title=Manipur’s horror: When Operation Bluebird struck terror |url=http://www.hindustantimes.com/india/manipur-s-horror-when-operation-bluebird-struck-terror/story-0FTWgabR6PJesb9dd9xMUL.html |website=hindustantimes.com}}</ref>
