This book explores the complex aftermath and socio-demographic effects of COVID-19 on indigenous people in Indonesia. As a vulnerable group facing multiple problems relating to marginalization, poverty, and lack of access to public facilities, Indigenous communities have been shown to fare worse off than other groups during the pandemic. This book reveals Indonesian indigenous people's socio-economic vulnerability and adaptation strategies. Using qualitative approaches and drawing from recent statistical data, this book includes geographical representation of communities include Orang Rimba (Jambi), Tengger (East Java), Bali Age (Bali), Marapu (East Nusa Tenggara), Nuaulu (Central Maluku), Togutil (North Maluku), and Orang Asli Papua (Papua). The book shows that in times of crisis, Indigenous peoples can provide lessons to the broader public. Relevant to policymakers.
