最后的海上游猎民族

Last of the Sea Nomads

By James Morgan（英国 / United Kingdom）

Time: February 9, 2010-March 20, 2013

Place: Indonesia

Nationality: Bajau

The Bajau people are some of the last true marine nomads. As an ethnic group of Malay origin, they have for centuries lived their lives almost entirely at sea, plying a tract of ocean between Malaysia, the Philippines and Indonesia. In the last few decades, many have been forced to settle permanently on land, but a dwindling number still call the ocean home, living on long boats known as lepa lepa.
