Bugis people

The Bugis are an ethnic group indigenous to South Sulawesi in Indonesia, known for their maritime skills and seafaring heritage. Traditionally, they are skilled sailors, traders, and explorers, often navigating the waters of Southeast Asia and beyond. The Bugis society is organized into distinct communities with strong cultural practices, including unique art, dance, and weaving traditions. They also have a notable history of creating seafaring kingdoms and maintaining a reputation as resilient and adaptable navigators.
