Lotha Nagas
Wokha is the traditional home of the Lotha tribe. Lothas are renowned for their colorful dances and folk songs. Like many Nagas, the Lothas practiced headhunting in the older days. After the arrival of Christianity, they gave up this practice. Though the majority of the Lothas are Baptist, there exist a moderate amount of other forms of Christianity like the Catholics. Catholics are concentrated more in Wokha than in other parts of Nagaland.
