Who they are
The West Damar people inhabit the volcanic island of Damar, located in the southern Maluku archipelago of Indonesia. Living in small coastal communities, they rely on subsistence agriculture and fishing for their daily livelihood. Their cultural identity is deeply tied to their own distinct language and oral traditions preserved in a remote and welcoming island environment.
