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

- 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?

@7:36 If wearing headphones beware loud static will wake you up. 7:36 loud sound. Very interesting video other wise.
Thanks for this, not on the original so TY glitch I think. I will snip it out.

Wonderful Indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
Lots more Indonesia coming soon ...
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.
i remembering the same documentary! it was pretty good from memory
I recall one as well, possibly the same.
The fish smell and moisture was my lasting impression.
That is bad enough in this Delta Region down the Mississippi River.
I couldn't manage it further South in Mississippi and Louisiana where it invariably goes from Delta to Swamp.
It can be a prehistoric beauty, and it can be toxic with reptiles, vicious critters, and "Ole Boogers" (Squasches) that dwell in/around these areas. These are commonly known in some areas, unintelligently assumed nonexistent by those not local and city dwellers.
Amazes me how little some know, how much they think they do, with Mainstream Educations and Degrees.
Mainstream is a produced story for keeping the masses manageable. Unfair but true.

@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.
Thank you, Robert. I looked into Sulu and heard that there is a lot of piracy in the region and it is unsafe. But maybe it has calmed down now. Palawan I did not know about so will investigate.
@@NomadArchitecture you're welcome.
Uhh majority of them are in Indonesia's territory.
Plus, South Philippines is not safe.
@@DBT1007dude do you really need to be arrogant about this? The OP doesn't even said how many Badjaos living there only that there are also communities living in Palawan and Sulu...
im just thrilled about these new videos from nomad architecture...
Thanks, more to come but never enough time to edit them.
Real Waterworld... Simple and happy life, from Argentina greetings!
Love your videos!! Done so respectfully and beautifully.. it's so nice not to have to listen to a patronizing narrator..
Thanks Emma, I tried being a patronizing narrator on one or two. I don't think it is for me.
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.
❤🎉Beautiful and Lovely
Super good job dear
Saya dari Indonesia, suku bajo ada juga di Lombok dan Sumbawa, tepatnya di pulau bungin sumbawa
Di mana video ini direkam? Di provinsi mana atau laut yang mana
Ohh.....nusa tenggara

Wow what a beautiful house 😍
Alright this just completely blew my mind. I mean how fragile are these settlements? Does an abnormal tide from storm weather trash their livelihood? I mean I know reefs are basically breakwaters but still.
It is a beautiful life
thanks for visit to my country 😍
I can totally relate to your journey. Our organization engages with a community of traditional hunters. But much of their incredible tangible heritage is difficult to find. Though in this case the vanishing heritage is not just a result of transition as a result of the changing world around them, but also because hunting was made illegal in India and so they needed to do away with assets that were sourced from wild animals.
Thats from my country. Indonesia, the beautifull place in the world
People were amazing, oceans were amazing, but too much plastic!
@@NomadArchitecture yea that true Im from Indonesia
@@NomadArchitecture that plastic is from western country.. they send to us in container.. western country has little plastic because they send to Asia👍
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
Yes me from indonesia jakrta
last time i saw at Bajo Gorontalo, Tomini Bay, Sulawesi. i think today they still do
Thanks, we started out there before going to the islands. Kept arriving at places where people said ' if only you had been here two years ago..' I think I need to go to the Philippines, but it does not seem to be safe there for a european at the moment.
Execelente material!!!
É incrível essas construções. Parabéns ao canal. ❤
Labuan bajo indonesia 🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨🇲🇨
awesome job team...
Good sharing video, thank you
my country :)
Great houses I love to see other lifestyles..., just don't drop your change in these homes.
Welcome to Indonesia, Labuan Bajo u can visits Komodo too for the fivestar hotel u can visits ayana hotel.. Heaven in here
Beautiful Indonesia
In Nigeria a place called Makoko slum are flooting houses, and i think worri in the South south of Nigeria has flooting houses aswell. Nigeria is very diverse.
Wonderful video and photography
And what happens during a storm?
EXACTLY what you would THINK could happen in a storm.
Wow
So beautiful place!
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...
7:35 Headphone users, beware. Also this is a very nice video.
These videos are a treat! I would only ask that the captions stay on longer rather than flashing by. 😳
Sorry, too late to change them now, but we are putting fewer captions up for longer on new ones we are editing now.
@@NomadArchitecture Better would be a voice, bc I had to choose either read or watch the footage.
Go to semporna sabah...
Awesome 💯
Thanks
Hello, here is an American Patriot also. God Bless.
@@jessicasmith6470 Well hey there! Nice to know there's more of us out there! True American Patriots are hard to find nowadays
Bajau laut community is sparsly distributed thier are also in vizayan region in cebu and bohol
Wahh ternyata ada video indo
some groups of romani/nomads use the term g-psy, but for many groups, especially in more connected areas and 'modern' countries, the word is considered a slur with a long history of hate behind it
i know nothing of this group so that may be what they call themselves, but im commenting so that others will know to keep that in mind in other contexts
That was awesome

@Nomad Architecture. You can find almost the same sea gypsies in Riau Archipelago Province in Indonesia, especially in Lingga Regency and Karimun Regency territory. They still live nomadic in that area and moving from one place to another using "lepa" or "sampan". They are pagan and live in sampan, raise their child there, do their wedding and birth in the sampan as well. Usually people of Riau Arhipelago Regency call them Orang Mantang, Orang Tambus, or Orang Sampan.
Thank you, that is an area I have not looked at so will go and do some more research. If you know anyone in the region who would like to take me on a tour do ask them to get in touch.
I was thinking Hungry Hippos= Hi people poles !
Wow amazing
great
This must have been similar to life in the stilt lake houses they have been finding that date to Europe's Bronze age.
Mungkin ada di Banjarmasin, Kalimantan Selatan.
Espetacular
What about storms and I guess tides are taken into account? In a tsunami the whole house would go
👍👍
This seems like a beautiful and peaceful existence.... until a large storm comes rolling through. With little warning and nowhere to go for shelter whole villages could potentially be wiped out and no one would even know. 😕
Indonesia barely experiences typhoons. All of it is shielded by The Philippines.
Beautiful
the one and only question is , where they get an acces for clean water ? do they use rain water ?
Yes, but also go off in boats to the islands where there are springs.
Interesting video, what is the name of that village? In which island is it? Is Tambacan village? Thank you
Same thing in Bajao Philippines
Imagine coming home drunk one day and fall into the river 😂
Awesome
You can try searching here in Tawi-Tawi Province, Philippines...we have a large segment of Sama Dilaut/Bajo Laut...
Thank you, is it safe to visit this region? Are you based there?
In the waters off Sitangkai Island, you will see plenty of houses on stilts. Also, there are still plenty of Sama Luwaan or Bajaos in Southern Philippines who live on boats. You can even sea these boathouses as far north as Zamboanga City.
@@perotsky2000 Thanks. Next question is how to find a guide who can safely take me to this area.
Recall a documentary, some years back, about this lifestyle.
The fish smell and moisture were my lasting impression.
That is bad enough in this Delta Region of the USA, down the Mississippi River.
Can imagine the living in fish waters and so much moisture with that mildew smell.
I couldn't even manage it further South, down in Mississippi and Louisiana, where it invariably goes from Delta to Swamp.
It can be a prehistoric beauty, and it can be toxic with reptiles, vicious critters, and "Ole Boogers" (Squasches) that dwell in/around these areas.
These are commonly known in some areas, unintelligently assumed nonexistent by those not local and city dwellers.
Amazes me how little some know, how much they think they do, with Mainstream Educations and Degrees.
Mainstream is a produced story for keeping the masses manageable. Unfair but true.
That's funny that they refer to them as "Ole Boogers". Yeah those beings are something else, not something I would ever want to encounter.

Email me please we are looking to visit next year. contact is on our web site www.nomads.org. p.s. love bees we can help each other maybe?
@@NomadArchitecture my email: leo_dewata@yahoo.com
@@AgungDewataidesederhana I sent you an email did you get it?
Nice
💖😃🌹
Come to papua - indonesia when the tribe live in the tree
Yes. I have been trying to set this up for years. Can you help???
in Sabah, Malaysia, bajo still live in boat
I really really want to visit Borneo, have wanted to come there for 30 years! is Sabah safe? I hear pirates in this area.
@@NomadArchitecture safe. now however we all facing covid-19. check u tube on sabah vlogs.
Imagino que os dejetos são despejados direto no mar
how long does it take to build a large stilt house?
Harta mereka cuma perahu,boat besar dan rumah atas air..bajau laut disulu atau suluk..
3:32 it'll be funny if someone is taking a dump and drops in the divers head hahahaha.. Peace great video
How do they make or collect fresh water?
To collect the water from the rain that they stock with water container, and most of the bajo they live not far from island with soft water that they dig from the land we call it well. Th tribe of bajo in indonesia you can find in flores island not far from maumere, in padar and komodo island, in kalimantan near by derawan and kakaban, in sulawesi north, central sulawesi, south sulawesi and south-east sulawesi.
They collect it from nearby islands. Once per week maybe. Or whenever they want.
And they also trade to the island people when they visit nearby islands. They mainly sell fresh or dried fish
And they don't bath everyday. Some even only bath once per week or more. It's more healthy than the medieval Europe btw.
Medieval Europeans only bath like.. 2 times in their lifetime.
Didn,t the stilts rot after so much time in water
Koh Lanta, Krabi Thailand on beginning??
I wonder. Where are the washrooms?
Duct to remove the washroom flush. !
What do they do with human waste?
kardeşim yaşıyosun şu hayatı yak yak yak

Anybody know how do they get fresh water for drinking and cooking food? It seems like it would be very difficult to bring haul water from the shore if they're so far out. Do they have a technique for converting salt water into fresh water?
They bring it from the islands. These days lots of motorised canoes around.
Do not swim around where the stilt homes are at. The waters are not clean. They shit thru a whole and it goes straight to the waters below. A lot of e-coli’s swimming, backstrokes.
Yes, good advice, though we were on the clean side of a tidal current.
Dumb comment actually.
You know that they live on the ocean, right?
That means the water always move.
The waves on the ocean are so quick n strong even if it is shallow ocean. The deep ocean is even more stronger.
Edit: and also remember that ocean is a place where sperm, eggs, fish poo, blood, carcass are all mixed together. Soo it's already "dirty" since the start.
And btw, ocean is salty. Salt is antibacterial thing.
@@DBT1007 aslo a thousands cruise ship passenger also throw their pup into the ocean and become a fish feed.
I am Filipino by birth, i now live in the UK. Badjaos or Sama Dilauts are in great danger of losing their culture. although they spend their lives in the sea, most of them do not live on stilt houses. they live in boathouses and can travel whereever they are welcome. some of them are forced to live in cities where they can become mendicants. sad to say, as they lose their culture, they also lost their means to survive. sea piracy is quite rampant in the sulu archipelago . when these sea gangsters started recruiting them to sell their loots, they also began to wonder if the government or authorities will be able to help them. they are nice people but they are living in abject poverty. these are the real sea gypsies that do not belong to any country because the sea is their home. if anybody can give them a bit of education to live normal lives, they will somehow get the chance of better lives and be introduce to society without leaving the sea.
Message me if you want to help out. We are also in the UK and could do with someone who can go a bit deeper into all this.
Where do they toilet? Into the water..floating around
Err, basically, but there is a current that drifts across so it is taken away.
Why they choose to live in the sea one day God going clean the sea up
You tont seen the Toi toi and the Robidog 😈😈😈
@@nolafrancis6598 Uhh it's the reverse. One day with the climate change become worse, God will clean up the land.

At 8.55 or real nice "burnt" fish dinner being prepared.
Sorry must move as that coral reef is no more as we have destroyed it by being here.
