          The number of tribal population is estimated Noaulu Thousands. Old country only has 78 families roomates is equivalent to 271 people.The weaknesses Indonesian language makes them also isolated from a variety of information development. They also growing niche to be exclusive in order to maintain the traditions existing leluhur.Suku Noaulu Sepa Because they more open growing niche to unite settlements with other villagers. Their dwellings are also located not far from the road linking the Trans-Ceram-Tehoru Masohi. Residents also have known television and better educated than their brothers in Nuanea.

          Pataheri tradition, the ceremony for the men who had grown up, where men must wear cidaku (shorts) and a headband, but this tribal headband red / angry.
