The Aos are a major Naga ethnic group native to Mokokchung District of Nagaland in Northeast India.[2] Their main territory is from Tsüla (Dikhu) Valley in the east to Tsürang (Disai) Valley in the west in Mokokchung District.
The Ao Nagas refer to themselves as Aoer, which means "those who came" from across the Dikhu river.[3]
They were the first Nagas to embrace Christianity, and by virtue of this development, the Aos availed themselves of the Western education that came along with Christianity.[citation needed] In the process the Aos pioneered among the Nagas in many fields.[citation needed] Christianity first entered into the Ao territory when an American Baptist missionary, Edward Winter Clark, reached an Ao village called Molungkimong in 1872.[citation needed]
