ca. 1900 | Johann Schild

The west coast of Sumatra is the homeland of the Minangkabau, an economically and politically very successful group; during the colonial era they were able to develop a flourishing school system on their own initiative, and therefore played a significant role in the cultural and political modernisation of Indonesia. The province was also successful economically.
