The legacy of the sea aborigines whom the invaders plundered at will

The Sea Aborigines, a minority group 'under attack' from all sides, are severely exploited by various parties more powerful than them. The most unfortunate thing is that the government, which is obliged to provide them shelter, is also accused of robbing them of their heritage. It is the duty of civilized society to immediately intervene in this situation. The Sea Adivasis or 'Muhudhu Veddan' are another unique group of people living in this country that has not been noticed by many people. Sea aborigines also believe that they are descended from the two children of Kuveniya mentioned in the legend about Akmul in our country's civilization.

In his opinion, these tribes may have come to Lakdi through India from the Mediterranean area in the distant past.According to the research done by Professor Nandadeva Wijesekera, the 'Sea Veddans' living along the east coast show different characteristics from the Veddans of other areas, and it has not been confirmed at what time they came to the east coast.Regarding the immigration of sea aborigines to the east coast, the current aboriginal leader Vannialattan says that the sea aborigines are a part of the aborigines themselves. It is said that in the past, when they came down the country in search of food along the Mahaweli River as groups, they must have settled on the east coast, and due to spending time in the company of the Tamil people who mostly live in those areas, they forgot the Vedi language and the Vedi culture and adapted to the Tamil language and Tamil culture.
