Sarmi is named from an acronym of the five main tribes, which are Sobey, Armati, Rumbuai, Manirem, and Isirawa. The five tribes do not represent the overall tribal diversity in this regency which has 87 tribes, each with their own language.[5]


Demographics


The majority of Sarmi residents are native Papuans, with significant numbers of transmigrants from Java, Bali, Madura.


Religion


The majority religion adopted by the Sarmi community is Christianity, with a significant presence of Islam brought by transmigrants from Java and Madura, as well as a small minority of Hindus and Buddhists from Bali.


Ethnic


Sarmi is inhabited by Sobey, Armati, Rumbuai, Manirem, and Isirawa who are native Papuans and migrants from other parts of Indonesia, especially Javanese, Madurese, Batak, Minangkabau, Bugis etc.


Culture


Long before European explorers landed on the northern coast of Papua, since prehistoric times the region had been in contact with various foreign cultures. About 3,000 years ago, Austronesian speakers migrated to the northern coast of Papua.

They made and used boats adapted for sea voyages, they were the ones who managed to find an outrigger system (balance on the left and right of the boat) to deal with the fierce waves of the ocean.[6]


Administrative Districts


At the 2010 Census, Sarmi Regency comprised ten districts (distrik), but subsequently nine additional districts (Sungai Biri, Veen, Bonggo Barat, Ismari, Sobey, Muara Toy, Verkam, Apawer Hilir and Apawer Tengah) have been created by splitting existing districts. These nineteen districts are tabulated below with their areas and their populations at the 2010 Census[7] and the 2020 Census,[8] together with the official estimates as at mid 2021.[9] The table also includes the locations of the district administrative centres, the number of villages (rural desa and urban kelurahan) in each village, and (for the districts established before 2010) the post codes.
