The Buton Tribe, Also Known As The Blue Eye Tribe Of Indonesia

There are still so many things that have not been discovered in this whole wild world. Things that are so precious and also so unique from the others indeed. For example is the Buton Tribe that has just been recently discovered and people cannot stop from talking about them since then. They absolutely stand out with the special features they have.

Based on the observations, majority of people in Asia only have brown to black eyes, with a small amount of people that obtained grey and also hazel eyes here and there. The condition is very different for all the people in this one and only Buton Tribe that have been widely known to have vibrant blue eyes for generations. This special Buton Tribe can only be found in the province of Southeast Sulawesi that is on the island of Buton. From the big tribe itself, there are several groups of people who have this uniqueness of blue-colored eyes.

Their fascinating bright blue eyes really stand out so gorgeously against the brown of their skin that they have. This trait is so mesmerizing for everyone and can hardly be found among other people on the island. According to some researches that have been done, their blue eyes are actually caused by a very rare genetic disorder that they have experienced called the Waardenburg Syndrome, which may be evident at birth and its range and severity may vary.
