Who they are
The Roon are a coastal community who inhabit Roon Island and the shores of Cenderawasih Bay in West Papua. With strong ties to the sea and local forests, they preserve ancestral customs of community cooperation and navigation. Their identity is shaped by a simple way of life centered on small-scale fishing and family farming.
