SEA NOMADS

Many sea nomads known as Bajau people, live in PESISIR's project area. These Bajau built their houses on stilts in the sea. In the past they were sailing around in their leppa's (boats) and did not have houses. The Bajau culture is slowly disappearing.

 

   
If the North star stands above the South star the sea will be calm. If three stars are seen close together in the western part of the sky, the wind will come from the east. If the morning star arises it is 4.00 a.m.
