Remove ads
The Chakhesangs are a major Naga ethnic group inhabiting the Northeast Indian state of Nagaland.[2] Chakhesangs were previously known as the former Eastern Angami, now recognized as a separate ethnic group. The name "Chakhesang" was created as an acronym from the names of three ethnic groups: the Chakrü (Chokri), Khezha (Kuzhami) and Southern Sangtam (now separately known as Pochury).[3]
Most of the villages fall within Phek District of Nagaland.[4] Two Chakhesang villages (Jessami and Soraphung/Krowemi) are located in the Ukhrul District of Manipur.
