| Summary: | In this paper, I explore approaches in establishing cross-cultural relations between indigenous people and internal migrants in the district of West Seram (Maluku, Indonesia). According to current data, the number of people from other islands exceeds the local population but the district government neglects the ethnic issues. Emerging inequalities are becoming a challenge for internal migrants, especially in the areas of leadership and land tenure. I argue that the sense of exclusion among ‘outsiders’ impacts on growing social tensions and creates immobility within the social structures, giving less room for negotiations and dialogue. |
