Abstract

This article examines the historical and cultural relationship between the Sea People and the Land People in the Bangka Belitung Islands during the 19th–20th centuries. As a maritime region with a long history of trade and migration, Bangka Belitung served as a meeting ground between coastal communities (Sea People) and agrarian communities (Land People). This study employs a historical and anthropological approach by examining colonial sources, local archives, and ethnographic records. The findings reveal that interactions between these two groups gave rise to processes of cultural acculturation, socioeconomic change, and the formation of a distinctive local identity. The roles of both groups in the region’s historical trajectory also reveal the dynamics of adaptation to colonialism and modernity in the maritime regions of the Indonesian archipelago.
