The Bugis is one of the high-spirited, status-conscious nomadic tribes of Sulawesi, the fertile rice-belt of Indonesia.  They capture the imagination of storytellers and travelers all of whom described the exploits of these peoples with admiration, awe, and more than a touch of fear and misgiving. The Bugis dominate the southwestern 'leg' of Sulawesi, one of Indonesia's major islands. Although many of the Bugis live in large port cities, the majority are located in small villages scattered along the coastline and along the rivers and major highways. The Bugis speak a distinct language called Basa Ugi. They are known by others as being very fierce, war-like, and industrious. Honor, status, and rank are of great importance to the Bugis. They are a very self-sufficient people who have a positive self image and are very confident of their own abilities - an excerpt                  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bugis
