Who they are
The Chang are a Naga people of Nagaland in northeastern India. Christianity reached them in the late nineteenth century, and most embraced it, but their faith has weakened even though they continue to identify as Christians; some harvest rituals give thanks to spirits rather than to God. Society is organized into clans, each with its own duties, and villages have councils led by chiefs. The Naknyu Lüm festival takes place from July 31 to August 1.
