The 'Onge' (also 'Önge', 'Ongee') are one of the Andamanese indigenous peoples of the Andaman Islands, located in the Bay of Bengal. They are sometimes described as Negritos. They were formerly distributed across Little Andaman Island and the nearby islets, with some territory and camps established on Rutland Island and the southern tip of South Andaman Island. This semi-nomadic tribe used to be fully dependent on hunting and gathering for food. However, with their numbers now substantially reduced in the aftermath of colonisation and settlement (from 672 in 1901 to barely 100), the 97 surviving members are confined to two reserve camps on Little Andaman.
