Mima is one of the Southern Angami villages in Kohima, Nagaland. An Angami native popularly known for its rare and distinct traditional underground Apiculture and declared as “The Honey Village” producing one of the best quality honey in the country. Mima village is nestled in the bosom of Mt. Japfu, located about 16kms south of Kohima. Mima has produced many brave sons of the Naga nation making it known for setting up the first “Safeguard” camp and being one of the first martyrs in the Naga freedom movement, for which it has also suffered and endured many untold miseries. The village was burnt down to ashes on l7 April 1957 and raided several times scattering its people over and over again. Yet it stood the test of time and chose to rise again as its people were determined to live as one, with integrity and uphold the truth given to them through the Gospel.
Like any other Naga village, it fought with many surrounding villages in the old head-hunting days. Since time immemorial, it was known for its brave and fearless warriors and the many tales associated with them. The rich tradition of feast of merit, stone pulling ceremonies, countless Spirit Stones/monoliths and their tales which are still preserved in and around the village have been passed down from generation to generation.
