Hawu
The Hawu, who call themselves Dou Hawu, are the Austronesian people of the arid Savu and Raijua islands between Sumba and Rote, speaking a language closest to Dhao and the Sumbanese tongues. Their island was long divided into six domains, each led by a council of priests of the polytheistic Jingi Tiu faith, honouring gods of earth, sea and sky.
