セラム島はモルッカ諸島でハルマヘラ島に次ぐ大きさの島で、その面積17,100㎢は日本の四国よりやや小さい。東西に長い島は、海岸ちかくまでせまる熱帯雨林の山地がつらなり(最高峰は3027mのBinaiya山)、陸上交通を困難にしてきた。そうした山間部を拠点に、Wemale、Alune、Manusela / Wahai、Naulu / Nuaulu などの小集団の民族が比較的近年まで焼畑や狩猟採集に従う半定住・移動生活を送っていた。
セラム島の名がひろく知られるようになったのは、ドイツの民族学者アドルフ・イェンゼン(Adolf Ellegard Jensen 1899-1965)が食物起源神話の一類型をハイヌウェレ型(日本ではオオゲツヒメ神話がこれにあたる)と命名したことにある。ハイヌウェレは Wemale族の女神の名である。
モルッカ諸島中部ではセラム島からの来歴を伝える民族が多く、セラム島は Nunu Ina(母の島)の名で呼ばれる。いっぽうでセラム島の島民は Nunusaku(Patasiwa、Patalima、Patasela の三つの領域の交わる地点)に彼らの故地(王国)があったと考えている。この故地にある村 Sekenima の住人はフアウル Huaulu である。
Hua は2、Ulu は川の源のことで、Huaulu は Salawai川と Sapalewa川の上流の人びとを意味する。わずか数百人の民族集団のため、地理的に Manusela の一部と理解されていたり、南の Nuaulu と同一視されることもあるが、セラム島の古い文化をいまも維持する民族として独自に取り上げられることが多い。

The tiny tribe of Huaula people live in Indonesia on the island of Seram. This people group lives a very simple life, without regular running water or electricity. They are known for "selling" women into a marriage, though it is debatable whether they are sold or given away, or perhaps something in between. Either way, Huaula women are given low status in their communities. Joshuaproject

Alune : They number about 21,300 and live in 27 villages of the western-central area of the island. Like the Wemale, they originated in a common group called Patasiwa. The Alune speak a language of Malayo-Polynesian origin. It is also known as Sapalewa or Patasiwa Alfoeren and, despite the small number of speakers, it has a few dialects. The most prestigious dialect is the Rambatu speech variety. Wikipedia
Wemale : They number over 7,500 and live in 39 villages of the central area of the island. Like the Alune people in the west, the Wemale people originate from a common ancestral group called the Patasiwa. The Wemale language is of Malayo-Polynesian origin and it is divided into a northern and a southern variety, having dialects known as Horale, Kasieh, Uwenpantai, Honitetu and Kawe. Wikipedia
Manusela : The Manusela or Wahai people has a population of over 10,100 centered in the Manusela mountains of North Seram, Maluku, Indonesia. They are also found along Teluti Bay in south Seram, which suggests their name of their tribe. The Manusela follows the syncretic faith of Naurus, which might have come from the Aluk' To Dolo faith. The Naurus faith is a combination of Hinduism and Animism, but in recent years they also have adopted certain Protestant principles. Wikipedia
Nuaulu : The tribe name 'Nuaulu' means head[waters] of the Nua River, which is the ancestral homeland of the Nuaulu people. In the late 19th century or early 20th century, the Nuaulu people were moved down to the coast by the Dutch for purposes of pacification. The Nuaulu are divided into two groups, namely the northern and the southern groups. Numbering at a total of 2500 people, they live in the Amahai district of Central Seram. The Northern Nuaulu inhabit two villages on the north coast of central Seram Island, whilst the Southern group inhabit five villages on the south coast and interior of Amahai District. These two languages are not mutually intelligible. Wikipedia
