• The “Batak” people are a loose collection of various tribes living around Lake Toba, they each have different customs and traditions amongst them

• The Javanese along with others like Sundanese, Balinese, etc. historically came through Transmigration programs

• These programs transferred people from densely populated islands like Java and Bali to less dense ones like Sumatra

•

They mostly live in Urban areas & rural transmigrant settlements

• The Chinese have been in Indonesia since the 1500s with subsequent waves of later migration as well

• They mostly live in urban/coastal areas as traders and businessmen
