Who they are

Os Waima’a são uma comunidade indígena que habita a costa nordeste de Timor-Leste, concentrada principalmente no município de Baucau. Eles preservam uma língua austronésia singular com fortes influências papuas, refletindo uma rica herança cultural. Embora a maioria da população professe a fé cristã histórica, muitas tradições animistas ancestrais ainda moldam o cotidiano e a cosmovisão das famílias locais.
