Who they are
The South Lembata people live in the southern part of the island of Lembata in eastern Indonesia. They are an Indigenous community who preserve the Painara language and ancestral customs connected to the land and the sea. Their identity is shaped by the geographical isolation of their island region and by communal traditions passed down through generations.
