This year, each month, we will focus on a different set of five themes, place, space,
thought leader, tool, event, and geographic oddity.
So each episode will feature a place, a thought leader, a tool, an event, and a geographic oddity.
Thanks for joining me.
This episode's place will feature Pulau Papan, Indonesia.
P-U-L-A-U-P-A-P-A-N, Indonesia.
Pulau Papan, Indonesia.
Now, culture is an important part of geography.
Some cultural groups around the world are small in number and are in remote places.
One example is the Sama Bajau, S-A-M-A-B-A-J-A-U, or Bajo people, a nomadic sea-living tribe known in popular culture as the Sea Gypsies or Sea Nomads.
The Sama Bajau have been a seafaring people living in Southeast Asia in the oceans surrounding the Philippines,
Indonesia and Malaysia for hundreds of years.
Even though Indonesia is one of the world's most populous countries, some of those islands are very remote and sparsely populated.
Get a sense of this cultural group from the account by Agni and Amrita.
Quote, I was very privileged to spend a couple of days in a Bajo settlement in Indonesia.
The country Indonesia is made up of more than 17,000 islands.
some of them tiny.
The Bajo settlement I stayed at was located at the small island Palau Papan, one of the Togian, T-O-G-E-N, islands, with the closest large island being Sulawesi.
For years, this tribe had been living off the sea by trading and subsistence fishing.
The Bajo are known to be boat-dwelling, and traditionally many of them spent their entire life at sea.
