Akka

Akka, a wandering tribe of dwarfs in Central Africa, made known by Schweinfurth in 1874, and visited in 1882 by Junker. They are also called Tiki-tiki by their neighbours the Nyam-nyam. Their territory lies some two days' journey south of the Monbuttu, west of Lake Albert Nyanza. Their average height does not exceed 4 feet 10 inches, and their projecting jaw and protruding lips give them a painfully ape-like appearance. They are timid and difficult of approach, and shun communication with strangers. They live entirely by hunting, keeping no domestic animals but poultry.
