Notes: (a) Palu'e is an island district, situated off the north coast of Flores.
(b) includes the offshore islands of Pulau Pemana Besar and Pulau Pemana Kecil (with a combined population of 4,268 in mid 2021) and, further north, Pulau Sukun or Samparong (with a population of 1,532 in mid 2021).
(c) comprises 4 kelurahan and 3 desa.
(d) all kelurahan.
(e) includes the offshore islands of Pulau Koja or Pulau Besar (with 2,960 inhabitants in mid 2021), Pulau Parumaan (with 1,816 inhabitants in mid 2021 - including Pulau Pangabatan, Pulau Mermaan and Pulau Damhila), and nearby Pulau Babi.

A small Sikka region (non administrative) called Iwangeté or Iwang Geté encompasses the villages of Watublapi (Hewokloang district),[5] Héwokloang, Kloangpopot (Doreng district),[6][7] Hale (Mapitara district), and Hebingare (and quite a few others in between). Krowe is another name for this area, although neither names are quite accurate. People of this area produce a very distinctive ikat cloth: the widest bands (called ina geté) bear such motifs as lizard (teké), a circular motif seen on some antique plates (pigan uben), spinning wheel (jata selér) and pineapple flower (petan puhun).[8]

Politics

[edit]

Paulus Moa was Regent of Sikka for a few years between 2002 and 2006.
