In this paper, I will describe the Ao tribe of Nagaland, surveying their past and present from a socio-cultural-religious perspective. The intention is to help readers understand the socio-cultural and religious transitions that have taken place, as well as to get a clear picture so that there are no negative impressions. It is important that readers understand the paradigm shift that followed the arrival of Christianity. Unlike other communities or cultures, the Nagas turned fully towards Christianity. Today, there are no tribes among the Nagas that continue to practise what they had been practising before the arrival of Christianity. The advent of Christianity marks a very important shift in Naga history. Hence, in this paper, I will survey the ethnography of the Ao-Nagas before and after the coming of Christianity - and with it, modernity. I will deal primarily, however, with the past, and the transformation and transition from the past to the modern era. It appears that culture and traditions of the Ao-Nagas are in the process of transition as the world changes. Therefore, it is important to understand the socio-cultural and religious roots of the Nagas in general, and of the Aos in particular.
