People of the Wakatobi
Labels: Beach at Sulawesi 0 commentsThe Wakatobi contains two major ethnic groups, the Pulau (Islanders, ethnic Indonesian) and the Bajau . The Pulau are generally considered to be ethnically Indonesian and speak a series of dialects and languages, many associated to Bahasa. People are mostly a mix of farmers, fishermen and businessmen.
The Bajau are an indigenous ethnic group residing in Sabah , eastern Malaysia , Brunei , Indonesia , the Philippines and parts of Sarawak . They are sometimes referred to as the Sea Gypsies , although the term has been used to encompass a number of non-related ethnic groups with similar traditional lifestyles. The Bajau of Indonesia live primarily on the islands and in the coastal districts of Sulawesi . The outward spread of the Bajau seems to have been associated with the development of sea trade in trepang . For Wakatobi social, economic and anthropological research reports click here |
