本报告描述了刚果西北部桑加地区狩猎采集者的分布、人口和居住模式。作者确定了狩猎采集者的五个语言群体：巴卡人（Bangombe）、米卡亚人、巴鲁马人、班本杰勒人和巴科拉人。研究地区的几乎所有这些群体都沿着道路或河岸建造了定居点并耕种自己的田地。他们仍然从事狩猎活动，并被他们自己和邻近的农民视为猎人。在该地区西部的苏安克区，有 664 名巴卡人居住在 15 个定居点。出生地资料表明，该地区的巴卡人原本与喀麦隆的巴卡人有着密切的关系。一些巴卡消息人士称，该地区中部的森贝区共有22个巴卡定居点。在东部莫凯科区，提交人确认有25个定居点，当地举报人统计了另外11个定居点。这些定居点的居民包括所有五个语言群体。巴卡定居点与苏安克农民村庄的裂变和融合的几个案例展示了两个群体之间的社会经济关系。
This report describes the distribution, population, and residential pattern of hunter-gatherers in the Sangha Region, of northwestern Congo. The author identified five linguistic groups of hunter-gatherers: the Baka (Bangombe), Mikaya, Baluma, Bambenjele, and Bakola. Almost all these groups in the study area built sedentary settlements along roads or on the banks of a river and tended their own fields. They still engaged in hunting, and considered to be hunters by themselves and by the neighboring farmers. In the Souanke District in the western part of the Region, 664 Baka lived in 15 settlements. The data on birth place suggest that the Baka in the area originally had a close relationship with the Baka in Cameroon. Some Baka informants said that there were a total of 22 Baka settlements in the Sembe District in the center of the Region. In the Mokeko District in the eastern part, the author confirmed 25 settlements, and another 11 settlements were counted by the local informants. The inhabitants of these settlements included all five linguistic groups. Several cases of fission and fusion of Baka settlements with farmer villages in Souanke demonstrate the socio-economic relationships between the two groups.
