21st Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest People
SIBICA
The Bajau are indigenous seafaring people living connected to the sea, in small houses built on stilts over the water or in houseboats. They are distanced from the mainland and their society, earning their living mostly from fishing and going ashore to trade their catch. Bajau people have a mastery of the ocean that's hard to match: children like Sibica learn to swim and start fishing at an early age.
