suku baduy

The Baduy (also spelled "Badui") are an indigenous community living in the western part of the Indonesian province of Banten, on the island of Java. They are known for their traditional way of life and their resistance to outside influences.

The Baduy people are divided into two main groups: the Inner Baduy (Baduy Dalam) and the Outer Baduy (Baduy Luar). The Inner Baduy are more isolated and traditional, with strict rules about dress, behavior, and contact with the outside world. The Outer Baduy are more open to the outside world, but still maintain many aspects of their traditional way of life.

The Baduy people are known for their unique clothing, which is made from handwoven fabric and is often dyed with natural materials. They also have their own language, which is closely related to the Sundanese language spoken in the surrounding area.

The Baduy people rely on agriculture and natural resources for their livelihood, and they place a strong emphasis on communal living and sharing. They also have their own spiritual beliefs, which are a blend of animism, Hinduism, and Islam.

Despite their isolation and resistance to outside influence, the Baduy people have become a popular tourist attraction in recent years, with visitors coming to observe their unique way of life and purchase their traditional handicrafts. However, it is important for visitors to respect the Baduy people's cultural norms and to seek permission before entering their territory.
