The Moi people (Moi: Mosana) are an indigenous ethnic group in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. They live in Sorong City (Maladum, literally translated as "a vast plain where dum (Hornstedtia alliacea) grows"), Sorong Regency, South Sorong Regency, Raja Ampat, and western part of Tambrauw Regency. Moi is divided into several sub-tribes: Moi Kelin, Moi Klabra, Moi Karon, Moi Lamas, Moi Legin, Moi Maya, Moi Moraid, Moi Salkma, and Moi Segin. Their main livelihoods are gardening and forestry. In gardening and forestry, they observe yegek (a customary resource management) to avoid excessive exploitation of natural resources, which leads to traditional conservation. Customary education is taught to the youth in a traditional house called Kambik.
