    • found: Wikipedia, viewed on February 6, 2023(Cataloger translation: The Abun, previously also known as Wen and Karon, are an ethnic group of New Guinea, residing in the Sausapor district of the Tambrauw Regency in the Province of Southwest Papua. They speak the Abun language. They live in Sausapor, Jokte, Emaos and Uigwem villages of Sausapor and are of the clans Yekwam, Yenjau, Yeblo, Yesnath, Yenbra, Yenggrem, Yesomkor, Yerin, Yeror, Yewen, Yemam and Yesian. The Abun were originally the Wen from the Tambrauw Mountains (locally called the Ndokdar Mountains). After having socialized with the Biak people near the coastline, they were then called the Karon (meaning: the people from within), while the ones who continued to stay in the mountains were called Karondori. However, this eventually had negative connotations and they finally renamed themselves Abun)
