The Anang ethnic group inhabit the Nigerian province of Calabar situated to the south of the Cross River, in the region of tropical forest. They have the Ibibio, the Efik, the Eket and the Oron as nearest neighbors. The main resource of the Anang is farming maize and yam. They live in villages led by a chief elected from the most honorable heads of the important families and the Anang social life is regulated by three secret societies, which incorporate masks into their annual ceremonies. A council of elders assists the influential man who assumes the functions of chief of the group. Road and river provided the primary routes for commerce, and was the way by which techniques and know-how were also conveyed.
