Summary
Buru Island is the second largest island in Maluku Province with an area of 12,655 km. During the New Order era, the island was used as a place of disposal of political prisoners, including the author named Pramoedya Ananta Toer. Buru Island was a part of the Central Maluku District. As autonomy progressed, Buru Island was divided into two districts, namely Buru District with Namlea as its central government and South Buru District with Namrole as its central government. The native inhabitants of Buru Island are known as Geba Fuka Bupolo which literally means “Buru Island People”. Geba Fuka Bupolo inhabits most inland areas consisting of mountains, hills, and valleys, while the residents in the villages on the coast have mingled with immigrant communities from Ambon, Kei (Southeast Maluku), Sanana, Buton, Bugis, and Java
