Indonesia - Lembata - Lamalera - Whale Hunters

Add to Cart Download

Whale meat is hanging to dry. Most will keep their share. But others might exchange it at the market to food from the mountains. Like potatoes or other vegtables.

The clans inhabiting the tiny village of Lamalera, on the sunbaked Lembata island (Nusa Tenggara Timur Province) have been spearing and landing sperm whales by hand for at least six centuries. Despite the ongoing economic and religous transition, the society of this tiny village has not lost a single bit of their pride nor their identity.
