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 Chakhesangs are divided into two groups known as Chokri and Kuzhami. The name "Chakhesang" was created as an acronym from the names of three ethnic groups: the Chakrü (Chokri), Khezha (Kuzhami) and Southern Sangtam (now Pochury).[3]
Most of the villages fall within Phek DistrictofNagaland.[4] Two Chakhesang villages (Jessami and Soraphung/Krowemi) are located in the Ukhrul District of Manipur.
The following is a list of prominent people belonging to the Chakhesang community.
