Teu Kapik Sibajak, left, and Aman Aqwi Sakkukuret, members of the Mentawai tribe, on the island of Siberut in Indonesia. The men wear just a loincloth, revealing taut muscles and leathery skin from decades of living deep in the rain forest. They are covered head to toe in tattoos. The 2 are among the last of the Mentawai people living traditional lives deep in the forest on the remote island. For decades, they’ve resisted Indonesian government policies that pressured the forest-bound indigenous groups to abandon their old customs, accept a government-approved religion and move to government villages. As a result, the Mentawai tribe — now about 60,000 people — is a rare #Indonesian culture that was not influenced by Hindu, Buddhist or Muslim currents over the last 2 millenniums. Teu Kapik Sibajak is of a special class known as Sikkerei, who are shamans, forest healers and keepers of the Mentawai’s animist faith. He and his wife insist they aren’t going anywhere. “I would never move from here,” she said.
