Viswema

Viswema is an Angami village in the southern Naga hills, among ridges overlooking the routes towards the Manipur valley. Its oral history begins with the founding of Kipizwü by an ancestor named Viswe. The village belongs to a network of Angami communities linked by kinship and marriage: genealogies recorded at Viswema trace ties to neighbouring Momi and Kezama as well as to Khonoma. Terraced fields and wooded slopes form the setting of these hill settlements.
