Orango is the largest island in Guinea-Bissau's Bijagós Archipelago, covering 272.5 km² and located about 60 km off the mainland. It is part of Orango National Park, which includes several nearby islands and is known for its population of saltwater hippopotamuses. The island has around 1,250 residents (2009 census), with Eticoga as its main village. Orango has a unique matriarchal tradition in which women propose marriage by offering a special fish dish. Historically, it was the seat of Queen Okinka Pampa until her death in 1930. In recent years, traditional customs have faced changes due to external cultural and economic influences.
