The Sümis are a major Naga ethnic group native to the northeast Indian state of Nagaland. They are found in the central and southern regions of Nagaland, primarily in the Zünheboto district and also in various parts of the state. Anthropological study of the Sümis is documented in the book The Sema Nagas by J. H. Hutton, who was a Professor of Social Anthropology in the University of Cambridge. The Sümi people are recognised as a Scheduled Tribe (ST's) by India.
