Who they are
The Banda Malay inhabit the Banda Islands and neighboring areas in Maluku Province, Indonesia. Their identity was shaped by the historic spice trade and the sea, expressed in a unique variant of the Malay language. Practicing Sunni Islam, they maintain strong community bonds and remain almost entirely without contact with the good news.
