Salone or Moken, Sea Gypsies of
the Myanmar Andaman Sea
Salone of the Andaman Sea
presents accounts of the nomads who
live in the Myeik (Mergui)
Archipelago of southern Myanmar. The
minority groups of the Northern
branch of the Austronesian people
have a very distinctive and peculiar
culture: Most of the year they live
on their boats. During the rainy
season they live on land, grow some
plants, but are not avid cultivators
and make little use of their
agricultural produce. They have
developed a strong cultural
identity, but are nevertheless
adapting to a changing environment.
They still practice the same fishing
and boat building techniques use for
generations. They are skillful in
diving and swimming. Their main
livelihood is diving for pearl,
collecting shells and other valuable
resources in the sea.
