| Video Discription | On the Indonesian island of Lembata, the Lamalera villagers wait all year for a special hunt. Beginning in May, the men grab harpoons and push their boats, called paledangs, into the waters of the Savu Sea. Their island is rocky, and almost no food can be grown on its soil, so the few hundred villagers there depend almost entirely on what the sea provides, especially the migrating sperm whale, manta rays and sometimes dolphins to provide food and a living for the entire village. which they undertake on simple sailboats and following ancient beliefs, taboos and tradition. Annually, whales migrate between the Indian Ocean and the Pacific during May through October, when these giant sea animals pass the Savu sea right at the doorstep of the island of Lembata. For Lembata, therefore, whale hunting starts on 1 May reaching its peak in July. ImWJJoX9CcU |
