Moi people

Moi is one of the indigenous tribes in Southwest Papua. They live in Sorong (Maladum, literally translated as "a vast plain where dum (Hornstedtia alliacea) grows"), South Sorong Regency, and Raja Ampat. Moi is divided into eight sub-tribes: Moi Kelin, Moi Klabra, Moi Karon, Moi Lamas, Moi Legin, Moi Maya, Moi Moraid, and Moi Segin. Their main livelihoods are gardening and forestry. In gardening and forestry, they observe yegek (a customary resource management) to avoid excessive exploitation of natural resources, which leads to traditional conservation. Customary education is taught to the youth in a traditional house called Kambik.
