Here in Rote Island as in Sabu, the versatile Lontar Palm plays a vital part in their life, as well as drinking the energy rich sap; they convert the surplus into palm sugar. The timber is used to build houses and the leaves are used as roofing material, for making the distinctive Rotenesse hat and in their traditional musical instrument, the Sasando. Both Rote and Sabu Islanders derive most of their daily nutritional requirements from the drought resistant Lontar Palm.
