The Mang rear pigs and poultry to provide food and offerings for rites and ceremonies. They also rear some cattle and horses. In the past, each Mang lineage had their own area. The chief of the village, together with the council of the oldest men, takes full responsibility for the group's affairs. The Mang live in houses on stilts.
Male garments comprise a short vest open at the front and trousers.
Women wear a long skirt, short vest open at the front and a piece of white cloth decorated with various motifs. Young Mang men and women are free to choose their own partners. The man's family proposes marriage. According to customs, a mock battle between the two families is organised to seize the bride on the day when the bride is brought from her family. In the Mang religion, heaven is the Creator who reigns supreme.
