  • Thanks. Javanese "coolies" in the rubber plantation North Sumatra 

  • those definitelt are not sumatra culture,,,obviously those are javanese people's with their wayang puppet's and dance!

  • Sumatra was not part of the Dutch WEST Indies (Aruba, Curacao, Bonaire, Surinam, Saba, St Martin, St. Eustatius) but part of the Dutch EAST Indies (Indonesia)
