I am interested in why you call the group pictured the Sama tribe. They are not a subgroup of the Sama we are familiar with from Sulu. We run a website, http://sinama.org about this group. I understand that Samal island gets its name from these highly mobile Sulu Sama groups. I have also heard that other Dabawenyos call their language isama. I would be interested in learning more on this. Thanks/Magsukul
Seems like that, a cultural footprint spread through migration, please see below summary:
"The Sama tribe, also known as the Sama-Bajau, traditionally migrated north into Mindanao from the Sulu Archipelago in the southwestern Philippines, primarily due to expanding maritime trade, particularly during the rise of the Sulu Sultanate, which encouraged southward movement and dispersal throughout the first millennium AD;. This migration pattern often involved a nomadic lifestyle, living primarily on boats and relying heavily on fishing for sustenance."
Please share if you have any resources, very interesting topic.
