Who they are

The Amahei are a small Indigenous group who live on the coast of Seram Island in the Moluccas archipelago, Indonesia. Historically connected to coastal life and traditional farming, they preserve their community identity while making extensive use of Ambonese Malay in everyday life. In their villages, kinship ties and local customs remain the foundation of social life.
