Minungo

Minungo is a name associated with communities of the Lunda-Chokwe cultural world in northeastern Angola. Their country lies among the rivers and uplands west of the Kasai. From the seventeenth century, Lunda rulers built a network of political relationships extending across much of the upper Kasai basin. By the end of that century, Lunda outposts in eastern Angola were involved in the regional copper trade, linking communities of the interior to wider exchange networks.
