About

Kai Besar (Great Kai Island, also Nuhu Yuut or Nusteen) is one of the Kai Islands which are part of the Maluku Islands, Indonesia. Its area is 550 km2 (210 mi2). The other main island in the Kai Islands group is Kai Kecil (Little Kai Island). The northern tip is called Tanjung Borang, and southern tip called Tanjung Weduar.

Approximately 10% of the population is Wandan, descendants of residents of the Banda Islands who fled the Dutch genocide, and who still speak the original language.
