They are a clan subgroup of the Austronesian Sula people on Mangole Island in Indonesia's Sula archipelago, once a vassal of the Tidore and Ternate sultanates, sustained by fishing, sago gathering, and the customary sasi harvest system. They mostly adhere to Sunni Islam and Mangole is their primary language.
