District in Southwest Papua, Indonesia

Inanwatan is a district in Southwest Papua, Indonesia. The district is located on the southern coast of the Bird’s Head Peninsula.[1]

The area was named by the colonists from Patipi Bay, Fakfak, who were impressed by the extent of the sago swamps here. The word inanwatan originates in a Patipi-language expression meaning “it is all sago” (from inan ‘sago’ and sewatan ‘one’).[2]
