Anga are a people who live in a rugged mountain area of Papua New Guinea between the Huon Gulf and the Gulf of Papua. They are also known as Kukukuku, but many Anga consider that name insulting. Anga are nomadic, moving from one area to another, growing crops for their own use. At one time, the Anga people had a reputation for being among the fiercest warriors on the island of New Guinea. They were feared by Papuan coastal tribes, whom they frequently raided. However, their lands today are not agriculturally productive, and the people are poor. Some of the Anga have left their land in the mountains to work in towns near the coast.
