ンガダ Ngada はフローレス島中部の民族で、1986年当時は東のエンデ Ende 県と西のマンガライ Manggarai 県にはさまれたンガダ Ngada 県を構成していた。2007年以降、東のナゲケオ Nagekeo (本来 Nage と Keo は異なる慣習をもつ社会)は独立の県とされたものの、集落や家屋の形式はこの地域全体で非常によく似ている。ただし、ンガダ県でも北部の Riung 地方はンガダ文化の圏外にある。
ンガダはもともと民族的なアイデンティティーをもった集団にあたえられた名前ではなかった。Bajawa 地方を中心とする大クラン(Woe という) "Ngadha" の通婚範囲(現在の5市にまたがる)にみられる特有の文化をンガダと呼ぶ。その文化の特徴は、祖先祭祀 Reba をおこない、そのための施設である Ngadhu や Bhaga を集落内にもつことにある。
ンガダの社会を特徴づけるのは、系譜も相続も女性をもとにした母系社会であることだろう。

The name (Ngada) was taken from one of the seven big clans which, according to a myth, once undertook a long journey from mainland Southeast Asia and came to settle on this particular stretch of coast. However, the Ngada people did not use this name for themselves.
Each sub-clan consists of three lineages related hierarchically, each of which possesses particular ritual titles. Each of these lineages is comprised of a female and a male half, thus forming six different lineages. The highestranking title is called saka and is divided into saka pu’u, the female component, and saka lobo, the male component. Pu’u means trunk or source, and refers to the idea that women are the source of everything and that human life originates from the female body. Lobo is the tip, the offspring, the younger one. The lower titles are kaka and dai, split into a binary pair: kaka pu’u and kaka lobo and dai pu’u and dai lobo. Kaka and dai are classified as followers or younger siblings of saka.
Membership in a clan, a lineage, or a house is always determined through the uterine (maternal) line. Genealogical continuity is transmitted only through women. [Schröter 2005]
