The Woisika of Indonesia

The Woisika of Indonesia, numbering approximately 22,000 people, are No Longer Unreached. They are a Papuan-language people of Alor Island's mountainous interior in Indonesia, forcibly resettled to the coast by Indonesian administrators in the 1970s, a name mistakenly generalized from a village called Woisika meaning stone stack. They mostly adhere to Protestantism and Kamang is their primary language.
