I shall recall my memories of nagaland when I was working as a maths teacher in Loyola school in 1985and1986.Iwas working as a maths teacher in mokokchung govt high school in 1987and1988also I worked in Changi govt high school in 1989and1990 I am very happy to hear you nagas are in USA in such a sound position .arul
I'm from Mokokchung😍
Thank you for your service sir!
@@visakachishi3480 thank you for your wishes
Changki is my village sir ☺️, thank you for your services.
Thank you Sir for your services for the betterment of our naga brothers and sisters... Sending Lots of love from Dimapur- Nagaland..
its lovely to see North-Eastern-Indian to be in America...... You 'Naga' people are doing great, preserving your culture and tradition at a very far land..... GOD BLESS YOU ALL......
Yeri Tazu do naga people follow Christianity?
yes. As a matter of fact, all nagas are Christians(few rare exceptions where they may not be christian).
Do u preserve ur headhunting and python hunting there😅😅😅
@@gawadlangur8043 haha... I find your joke funny 😂but others may find offensive
Gawad langur we don't even do here anymore 😂😂
I was really surprised how we are all really really really similar in all traditions, features, and everything, even being so religious. I tried to listen to ur naga dialects and I kinda pick-up some syllables and words though I am not sure of their meaning but I believed that we belong to the same family.
I am a Filipino and we really look alike...and I also believed that we Filipinos are of Hebrew lineage, and maybe u r too. We are the only Christian nation in Asia by the way. And we have thousands of dialects in the Philippines but now we are one as a Nation.
Rexie P. Magdugo Spanish ruler converted Christianity all filipino people
I know what you mean bro you have brought up a very interesting point I always felt there was some connections between us the culture the traditions traditional dress traditional games language our old practices of head hunting I have done so much research at an individual level the kalingas the igorots the tattoos and a whole lot lol it always fascinated me and not to mention nagacity but I found out that the name was given by the European still it was interesting
SuperHuman MOBILE LEGENDS hindi ko alam bro😁😁
Yes, Nagas are very similar to Philippines and even the games which we usually used to play in childhood days are exactly the same but Nagas are still not a nation still struggling for it hopefully Christ will help us one day
Well the naga people came to the present location of habitation at different times from different places, we have different tribes and all these different tribes Chae from different places , we do believe some tribes are from phillipines such as the konyak naga.
Altho different tribes are from different places such as China, Indonesia, Malaysia, Taiwan, laos, Vietnam, mongolia etc
I just love the North east and its people.May the lord bless them abundantly.Loads of love from Kerala. !!
@samyajyoti de: That's true, also both the governments (Kerala are Tripura) are ruled by the left/Communist government. We have many similarities friend.

Love from Assam .
Love from Mumbai to all my NAGA brothers and sisters.Love you all.I shall visit Nagaland soon hopefully during Hornbill festival and Assam also most beautiful part of India
Roshan Angelo lots of love to you too from the hills!
Roshan Angelo love from Assam...bro
Nice film.
Keep on filming.
Love from India.
(Part Naga here)
what's the other part?
Tibetan.
You are half head hunting warrior and half peaceful buddhist monk :-) Could there be a more extreme combination of genes.....
Lol.
Perhaps you?
Your name is Freddy Krueger, but you're complimenting me. Clearly some opposites of the gene spectrum is in you.
:D!
so much positivity
My dad showed me your TH-cam channel years ago and I remember watching this video in particular. It's only recently, in the last couple of years, that I've started to accept the Naga part of my identity. Growing up in America and never having traveled to India at all until age 22 I did not understand the Naga people and my own tribe. It's comforting to know that there are people who have had similar experiences living in the U.S. This video brought tears to my eyes for that reason. I feel incredibly privileged, yet honored to call myself a Naga-American and a Uipo girl. Thank you so much for sharing.
Lots of love from Nagaland 💜
Cool
Being from Nagaland living in Singapore I experience the same strange looks on people's faces when I tell them I am Indian.
bcos people do not know about diversity of our country
+Bhavya Verma
It's not their fault rather it's our inability that we could not express our nation's diversity properly. Because sometimes our own people become negligent with each other.
that really sucks !
even sometimes when you tell this to north Indians they are surprised to, cause people know nothing about NE India like ahom dynasty , or the world war in kohima , imphal & etc
+Vishal Yadav You sucks in General Knowledge thats it.
"You sucks"
Auto-correct:- You suck
I'm Naga,work like naga,eat like naga,strong like naga,wrestle like naga,smart like naga,respect my cultural..
I am from dimapur nagaland it is my homeland I am not naga but that dosnt matter coz I love my homeland Nagaland and all my naga people all of you.I miss my homeland gonna visit this year after 3years
DWAIPAYAN DEY stay safe wherever you are bro❤️

Very true
I'm proud of all Naga people,I'm from Meghalaya,Garo Hill.
Hello Naga brothers and sisters in the US ,, we're happy to inform that we,the Nagas(Konyak tribe ), India, succeded in an attemp(Guiness world record ) for the largest traditional Konyak show with over 4680 women this year during the Aoleang mini Hornbill festival this month ,the April 5th.
Nagas are straightforward people no hanky spanky, it will be difficult for them to survive in a crooked World.
My wife is a Naga, Rengma, we are wondering if there are any Nagas in the Atlanta area?
How amazing you have a Naga wife as Naga women are most beautiful on Earth! I have close Naga friends in India even as I from Orissa and I have visited Dimapur, Mokukchung and Kohima in Nagaland so far and love Nagaland especially Mokukchung!
I curious if there are some nagas in ATL as I live in Alabama.
Hope you find it someday
@D M Lol...Nagas no longer hunt heads.
@D M are you still in that primitive age?
@@zacksinoyee3082 yes he is in uncivilised world.
He is death for modern people.
Even if he text back ...he is not human .. it's just his ghost😜😂

Loved this video... My best video I ever watched in TH-cam. Thank you!
It's heartwarming to see my Naga brothers and sisters in America getting along. God bless you all... American Nagas.
Nagaland should take the leadership in uplifting northeast from its humble state.
If I were in America and I being a Nyishi from west Arunachal,I would make my mission to uplift my Nyishi bros and sisters to respected among Indians with my knowledge and connections.
Don't worry brother 🙏 I will support our abotani brothers 🙏🙏
Good job, nice watching this as I was unable to join the conference last year. But glad my brother Wungram and cousin Zing could join.
the introductory part was awesome..n yea love the kind of unity that was portrayed. God bless the Naga Americans

Nagaland 4 Christ
I feel emotional watching this video. I hope you're all safe over there. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Great job brother Kirs.
The fact is Indian by force,Naga by blood,custom and tradition..we shall overcome someday,victory will be ours.Kuknalim
Bruh
Why Indian by force?
Really good documentary...happy to see all the Naga brethren in US. It would be really nice if you invite Nagas from other regions not just from Nagaland state. Keep the spirit of Naga alive. God bless you all.
Asian looking people in India! Dude, India is in Asia. You guys need to learn a lot about India.the Northeast of India has 7 states, known as seven sisters. And the people of these states look a lot like Chinese, Korean, Thai and Japanese people . But, we are Indians. By the way, Iam from arunachal pradesh which is one of the seven sisters.
Nm hge i agree! That was the mistake he made. Thanks for pointing that out.
Or may be he could have just added East Asian 😊 ✌️ Shillong.
Assam😘
Nm hge
what about uttarkhand .
Uttarkhand also look like korean and thai..
Forgot about Sikkim? 7 Sisters one Brother.

Naga community in the states is so easy to find ....I mean in TH-cam ...but just wondering if thrs any Naga community in Toronto Canada ...??? cuz I haven't found one in Toronto ...m not Naga but I've connection with them ...Chris n camera did a great job ..but I was just wondering if thr's any Naga living in Toronto
llotus may be I l be there for Toronto Raptors game. Hope you will meet me there. Just joking😀. Canada beautiful country. Lucky you
I watched ur video because I was curious and thought that this NAGA is the same Naga which is a City in the Philippines mostly inhabited by Bicolano tribes.
I really believed that we belong to the same family and maybe languages too.
Magdugo ,half nagas live in India and other half in Myanmar's.. We were divided by cruel politics. .philipino and naga may have similar culture..
Love Filipino brothers from Nagaland, some years ago, my uncle was studying in Philippines and he said we're very similar. He went to Taiwan to some tribal areas and they could understand a bit of what they we're saying. So who knows we might all be one big family
Wat is naga main language
@@teihwangkonyak987 your comment is dumb in so many levels 😅
Rexie P. Magdugo @rexie This is really interesting!
Good job guys....Proud to c u all...ve great fun....all miss u
Dear all Nagas living in America your introduction is appreciated in addition to this , it is my request to all of you that whenever you get together please clearly mentioned your name and your tribe so those who view your video channel will satisfied. Anyway it is very good. Thanks. I am from Nagaland.🙏
Great Video!!!
Chugli TV u R here? Go make some more videos... Waiting for ur next 😂

I luv naga people So proud to be an indian #northeastern#Arunachalpradesh
They don't consider indian
I love them all,,but I am Mizo,from Mizoram,,you all are very nice people😍😘
Sailo candy jiminie army but u look like a bihari ppl
this is soo awesome seeing naga people coming together as a #Family😊 ..
take care guys.. & be safe
God_bless😊😊😊
Really really loves it. Awesome.
Defining a 'naga identity' is very difficult. For example, tomorrow if someone meets a mizo, he says he's indian, people would say, o you are naga! No. U r SE Asian! No. WTF these confusing identities! There are some tribes in Arunachal and Manipur who are still confused as to whether they r naga or not. Naga is a term loosely connecting tribes of eastern India which were hostile to British initially but later gave away after fierce battles. Today they are connected together by Christianity and Nagamese language. Surprisingly in this video nobody recognizes himself/herself as Ao, Angami, Sema, Lotha, etc. but just Naga.
anuj budhkar yes we are Nagas so it's just Naga..
anuj budhkar yeah. That's what we all should have be.
the nagas in manipur and arunachal are not confused! they know they are nagas living in their own land But under jurisdiction of another state (due to improper division of states)!
Some Juan like Dimasas of Dimapur
I’m from Arunachal and no no ones confused
just out of curiosity, why don't you guys try to collaborate with indian american community and make a collaboration vlog ?
this will help you all in reducing local american people confusion about you're asian rather than indian. It will make our indian american community more diverse then it is now.
we 've same civilisation, we fought together for india independence.
nagaland was to part of Ashoka empire.
our roots goes back to 300 bce. i don't think what type of commonality you searching for.
it's like saying south india (dravidian) have nothing common with north indian people.
Private Ming has got a point there and that's what the separatist movement in Nagaland's all about. Lost it's steam now though
I like your integration concept but the facts need to be presented as facts...and not as a fantasy. Ashoka barely managed to reach Assam and Nagaland was never a part of Ashoka's Empire. Please do some research before you let loose of your tirade of emotions
Even if they are ready to collab with the Indian community over there would the Indian community of USA be able to accept them? That's a big question. & I'll not talk about the race but India is also a part of Asia itself though we Indians are not Asians.
Tialem Jamir tell me how old naga and many hill tribes are and their population at the time of ashoka empire.
tell me just some history about nagas of 3rd century bce. i know nothing about northeast of ashoka period but as far as south india concern they used to pay tributes(tax) to ashoka and had made treaty with them and in modern time you can say that those areas were semi autonomous part of empire.
And my whole point was collabration with indian community and make them more diverse after all nagas people are indian and that don't seems to be changing anytime soon and i hope they feel proud to be indian.
samyajyoti de listen after indian independence there was same difference between bengali and punjabi on the basis of lifestyle and south indian(Dravidian) and north indian(Aryan) on the basis of race. but look today they all are happily living together in everywhere all around the world and also in america.
same will happen with northeast guys.
It's an honour to see my chieftain morung has been use as the logo for the Naga American Foundation Conference 2016 (9.09). Thank you
Just awesome to see you guys , "Home" far away from home. Love from New Delhi.
Love from Shillong 💕
hey guys m really proud of u guys proud to be a naga too probably i am from manipur inda rongmei tribe
Nice! Quite a lot of us, Im sure there are more. I live in Bellingham, Washington. would love to attend programs like that.:)
Great.
Keep preserving our culture. Love you all guys.... God bless.
when you say 16 tribes that may be true for the tribes residing in Nagaland State.. if you talk about Naga it comprises of more than 66 tribes spanning across India and Myanmar.
I did not get you... May you repeat that again??? 66????
@@debrickwotsa4583 ya search in Google for more knowledge...not only in Nagaland but there are different Naga tribes outside Nagaland state
True!!! Sad, some Nagas still believe in the artificial boundaries made by outsiders. Naga ancestral land has been divided and put in some parts of Arunachal, Assam, Manipur and Myanmar. There are only 16 tribes living in present Nagaland. But they are not the only Nagas. There are more than 60 Naga tribes. Learn to learn our own history and facts.
I'm from manipur, n m Naga.... Nice to see you guys....
@@debrickwotsa4583 and yet you call yourself a naga.? Uneducated maybe.? Just like most of the NAGA'S. ? EVERYWHERE, not just in nagaland, but everywhere. It's very funny, and people without knowing their history yet claiming that they're Naga's. No wonder many so called Central service aspirants from Nagaland fails in the test especially when it comes to their own history and traditions, even after clearing their mains exams. In UPSC exams I mean. Because you know what.? Those so called educated Naga's don't even fckng know their own history like you. And yet, the funny fact is that, they call themselves as Naga's. Lol what an irony. Just because someone tells you to eat shit just don't eat shit. People like you are a disgrace to the nation, Not just the nagas.
