Amazing Stilt Houses of the Bajo Sea Gypsies - Rumah-rumah panggung dan perahu Gipsi Laut Bajo

Показать описание

We went in search of the Sea Gypsies of the Indonesian Archipelago, the Bajo Laut, having heard stories of their incredible diving and fishing skills and their lives spent living as whole families aboard tiny boats, the 'lepa' . We found a world in transition as fishing for subsistence becomes an economy, we found amazing stilt houses build in the middle of the ocean many miles from the nearest settled islands. But did we find any sea gypsies?

I hope these people continue to make their house boats; as sea levels rise they will be very useful and they can teach the land dwellers

@Nomad Architecture. In the southern Philippines there are Sea Gypsies living. The Bajaw.
I met them on Palawan at the shores of Puerto Princesa City. Also outside of Roxas in the north of the same island. They live in houses on stilts. They do their fishing sometimes for extended periods of time on the ocean.
You can find them also in the Sulu Archipelago, Philippines, adjacent to Borneo. And also on the shores of Malaysian Borneo.

I wish you a successful journey to the best fishing grounds together with the last true Sea Gypsies.
Waiting to watch your video of that tour.

is this in the togean islands of sulawesi? because I've seen a place like this in my area.. my parents are Bajo tribe but our life is a bit modern, but I still have many family and colleagues who live above the sea in the Togean islands.. thank you for bringing up stories from my tribe, I'm very grateful... because in my area our tribe is seen as trash because some of us didn't go to university... happy to see this content...

I remember a documentary from the early 2000s. A young blonde woman in a major Asian ciry with a large population of boat dwellers and a floating market. She stayed with a family on their houseboat. I don't know why the word sampang is popping into my head, and maybe they were from vietnam or tiawan. The boat was a plaform on a hull and quite big inside as a result. The hull was not more tha 30 ft. The house had a lot of hanging cloths and fabric everywhere to make it pretty. They had satellite TV and Internet and lived full time with five children in the harbour. Market boats would float by to sell things and father worked on a fishing boat seasonally I think.

There's plenty of them where I came from in the Philippines. They are nice people who keep things to themselves. They just mind their own business. They doesn't create any trouble. They are hardworkers and VERY skilled divers as well! They are called Badjao.

Love your videos!! Done so respectfully and beautifully.. it's so nice not to have to listen to a patronizing narrator..

Interesting you said the boathouse is rare. Seen a few in East Sabah during my time in the navy. They usually wanna sell coconuts and shells to earn some money but we can only afford them rice and sweets for their kids.

Great video and important archiving of these ways. I am indigenous from California we still make our old "Awps" traditional willow and tule' reed houses great grandparents used to make some two stories tall. I live in Arizona now at Hopi.
