Nduga is an indigenous tribe in the Central Highlands region of southern Papua, particularly in the Nduga Regency and surrounding areas. The territory of the Nduga people borders the Dani and Lani to the north, the Asmat to the south, the Damal to the west, and the Ngalik [id] to the east.[3][4]

The Nduga tribe is divided into two groups: the Nduga tribe in the hot areas (lowlands), such as in Mapenduma [id], Central Mbua [id] up to Kora [id]-Lower, Wosak [id]-Lower, Kenyam, Geselma [id], Wandud [id], and Alama [id]. The second group consists of the Nduga tribe living in cold areas (highlands), such as in Yigi [id], Upper Mbuwa [id], Iniye [id], Upper Wosak [id], and Upper Kora [id].[3][4]
