Toraja

The people of Tana Toraja, or "the land of Toraja", are mostly Christian, but adhere to old traditions whose roots trace back to animistic beliefs. This is common in Indonesia, a predominantly Muslim country of 250 million people that is also home to minority groups which espouse Hinduism, Buddhism, and traditional beliefs
