Who they are

The Ternate people inhabit the volcanic island of Ternate and neighboring areas in North Maluku, Indonesia. Historically known for the spice trade such as cloves and for their influential sultanate, they proudly preserve their Papuan-rooted language and their maritime and agricultural traditions. Their community identity is deeply linked to the Islamic faith, which shapes customs, family structure, and the rhythm of life on the island.
