Population

-Due to the highly dispersed number of individuals within the tribe, an exact population is not known for sure. Although, the approximate population off all Sama peoples around the Sulu Sea is said to be around 116,000.

-They are currently the second largest group of Indigenous people in Sabah, the region they are believed to have first come from.

-Because of there nomadic lifestyle, many of the Bajau people are spread across the Indonesian archipelago and have even reached areas of neighboring countries including Thailand and The Philippines.

Our Philosophy

Mission: The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project is a cultural anthropology course-based project meant to raise critical consciousness about the rich cultural diversity in our indigenous world (in our planet). Being totally aware of the limitations of being outsiders, we are a group of multidisciplinary undergraduate students who believe in cross-cultural sensitivity and participatory agency aimed at disseminating information about indigenous realities as accurately as possible.

Vision: The iCross-Cultural Citizen Project’s vision is to create an online cross-cultural space for students, professionals, and youth to learn and exchange cross-culturally sensitive information about contemporary indigenous experiences. From that outsider student’s perspective, we will try to theoretically explore possible collaborative solutions to problems that affect the indigenous populations of our planet. Finally, we hope for the future creation of a space where indigenous youth can share their experiences and their realities with us for real mutual collaboration to take place.

Values:
- We value the maximization of benefits to indigenous peoples and vulnerable populations in the world.
- We value the respect for persons all over the world.
- We value the equal treatment of people, and we are against the exploitation of vulnerable groups around the world.
- We value collaborative cross-cultural learning and critical thinking.
