Getting to know Nias

Nias Island belongs to the Province of Nort-Sumatera, Indonesia. But culturally Nias doesn't show strong affinity to other cultures in Indonesia. The language, the megalith culture, the concept about ancestor, to mention some of the main differences. I wrote a short introduction into Nias culture for a German audience a few years ago.
