The Nage are an indigenous people living on the eastern Indonesian islands of Flores (chiefly in the eponymous Nagekeo Regency), and Timor.

Houses are piled up in rectangular position and connected by an open gallery into a single complex, which is intended for joint residence of several large families.

The diet is dominated by plant based foods (cooked groats and tubers with spicy seasoning), while meat is eaten only on holidays.

Commissioned as an investigation of indigenous land tenure and leadership, the study was the only comprehensive description of Nage society and culture produced during the colonial period.

[6] Forth has also hypothesized a possible connection between the local stories of the Ebu Gogo, a creature in Nage mythology,[7] and the discovery of Homo floresiensis, a possible species of extinct hominid, hence a renewed interest in the tribe.
