Chaldeans (Chaldean Catholics) are ethnic Assyrians who adhere to the Chaldean Catholic Church. The name Chaldean was applied to our church by Rome in the Schism of 1552. We are not Arabs. We have our own history, language, culture, traditions, cuisine, folk music, etc. We mostly come from Iraq’s towns/villages of Tel Keppe, Alqosh, Batnaya, Tesqopa, Karamlesh, Bartella, Baqopa, Bakhdida, Shaqlawa, Ankawa, Zakho, Nohadra, etc. We are indigenous to Assyria, which is modern day northern Iraq, northeastern Syria, southeastern Turkey, and northwestern Iran. The majority of us today live in Michigan, California, and Australia.
