Indigenous Peoples of Indonesia
The Indigenous Peoples of Indonesia comprise over 300 distinct ethnic groups, each with its own unique culture, language, and traditions. Major groups include the Javanese, Sundanese, and Balinese, while many others inhabit remote islands and regions, preserving their ancestral ways of life.
These communities often rely on traditional practices for agriculture, fishing, and crafts, maintaining a deep connection to their land and environment. Indigenous Peoples face challenges such as land rights issues and cultural preservation, as modernization and development continue to impact their lifestyles and heritage.
