The '''Chakhesangs''' are a major [[Naga people|Naga]] [[ethnic group]] found in the Indian state of [[Nagaland]]. Chakhesangs were previously known as the former Eastern [[Angami Naga|Angamis]], now recognized as a separate tribe. The tribe is divided into two groups known as [[Chokri]] and [[Kheza language|Khezha]]. The name "Chakhesang" was created as an [[acronym]] from the names of three tribes: the Chokri, Khezha and [[Sangtam Naga|Sangtam]] (now [[Pochury]]).<ref>{{cite book|last1=Das|first1=Nava Kishor|title=Ethnic identity, ethnicity, and social stratification in north-east India|date=1989|publisher=Inter-India Publications|isbn=9788121002189|page=210|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=gKUiAAAAMAAJ|language=en}}</ref><br />
