== History == Dutch colonisation came relatively late to the Mentawai Islands. As Dutch officials had little interest in them, they called upon the Rhenish Missionary Society to begin the "civilisation" process. To that end, a German missionary, A. Lett, was appointed at Sikakap in 1901. His missionaries established a school nearby. From this initial settlement, the Dutch expanded into the other Mentawai Islands.
