Sumatra est une île de l'Ouest indonésien située sur l'équateur. Son nom vient de , la capitale du sultanat de Pasai dans le nord de l'île (en langue malaise, samudera signifie « océan »). Avec ses 473 481 km2, elle a la septième superficie du monde, tout en étant légèrement supérieure à la Papouasie-Nouvelle-Guinée et à la Suède. Le dernier recensement comptait 50 365 538 habitants. Les principales langues parlées sont : aceh, batak, malais, minangkabau. La majorité des habitants sont musulmans, mais Sumatra compte aussi des protestants, catholiques, bouddhistes, hindouistes. Sur un territoire qui s'étend des marais de la côte est de l'île jusqu'au piémont de la chaîne des Bukit Barisan vivent des populations dispersées en petits groupes qui se désignent elles-mêmes sous le nom d'Orang Darat, c'est-à-dire "peuples de la terre". chasseurs-cueilleurs semi-nomades, ces populations cultivent le sagou et troquent des produits de la forêt contre du sel et des métaux fournis par leurs voisins paysans sédentaires, Batak, Minangkabau et Malais.
