Angale

Numbering around 60,000 people, the Angale live in the dry northern regions of Tanyaka and Basu Khosari near and around Lake Mbujando, where they herd cattle and catch fish from the lake. Fishermen ply the large lake using dugout canoes constructed either from the trunks of palm trees, or from woven reeds. The Angale practice circumcision in both sexes. Traditional dress of the Angale men is unusual-they cover part of their hair with mud which is then painted blue and decorated with ostrich feathers. Women cover themselves in red ochre and goat fat for decoration, and braid or shave their hair. Men and women often sport large plugs in their lower lips. Tattooing is common, and on the shoulders of men tattoos represent those they have killed. Tattooing is also used by medicine men to cast out evil spirits. Because of their distance from colonial settlement, few Angale have yet been affected by colonialism, although Barlovian excursions from Fort Roberts have begun to intrude on Angale territory.
