Overview

The Mentawai culture, based on a deep connection with nature, revolves around a semi-nomadic lifestyle where the tribe primarily lives off the land and sea through hunting, fishing, and foraging, residing in communal longhouses called “uma” which serve as a central gathering place for the community; their daily life is deeply intertwined with traditional rituals and beliefs, often marked by intricate body tattoos and a strong emphasis on maintaining harmony with the natural world.
