Island Group
The
south-eastern peninsula and Buton group of islands
are inhabited by descendents of the Torajans and
Bugis peoples, and due to the strong influence
of the Islamic Bone kingdom most of the people
in this part of Sulawesi are Muslim. There are
five diverse cultural groups the Tolaki, Morunene,
Buton, Muna (locally called the Wuna), and the
Bajo. Most of the land area of Southeast Sulawesi
is covered by natural jungle, with extensive plantations
of teak and ironwood, which are used for local
handicrafts and contribute to the local economy.
The warmth of the Sulawesi people, the local flora,
fauna and untouched beaches are the highlights
of this unique locale. Up to the present day it
has avoided inundation by tourists, and is waiting
to several its natural beauty and the spirit of
the people who live in it.
