Sea Gypsies: the Samah, who live in the Sulawesi Sea off Malaysia's
state of Sabah.
The Samah are an indigenous ethnic group from Malaysia and the
Philippines who live a sea-based lifestyle in the Sulawesi Sea off
Malaysia's state of Sabah .
The Sabah are one of a number of groups collectively known as Bajau,
or sea gypsies.
Each group has its own language, culture and traditions.
Although sea gypsies are Muslims, they also revere the gods of the sea
and make offerings when a large catch is brought in.
Many only come onto dry land to bury their dead
