Origin of Angami:
Every society has its origin and significance. There are several theories which attempt to characterize the origin and society of Naga Tribes. One of the well accepted is that the Naga Tribes are one of the most powerful society who have inhabited the Naga Hills for several centuries. Though there is real no proof to identify the real origin of this society, there are beliefs and theories. J.H Hutton, who served as an administrator from 1917-1935 in Naga Hills, recorded that the Angami people are the first tribal society to have settled in Northeast India. To clarify the real origin of this society, a study case was conducted with the head and local people of the villages. While conducting the survey, it was found that the society has its own folk tales, legends, proverbs and poems. According to one legend, the ancestors of the tribes were brothers who lived together with their parents in Khezhakenoma village. When the three brothers spread out, the Angamis came to the present Kohima area. In another legend it is believed that Maikel Stone was the place where ancestors of the Angamis emerged from the earth. Many festivals are also observed by the community according to their culture and tradition. Tendydie, Gnamei, Angami and Tsoghami are mother tongue of Angami Tribes. Tendydie is the one most commonly used.
