Could it be this one

The Bajao: Seagoing Nomads
1983 VHS 18 minutes
by Wayne Mitchell
New York, Phoenix/BFA Films  Video

"Describes the life-style of Bajao nomads of Southeast Asia, who spend 
most of their lives on outrigger canoes traveling from the coral reefs 
and uninhabited islands between the Philippines, Indonesia, and 
Malaysia. Shows a family as they fish, hunt for food and water on an 
uninhabited island, and gather with other Bajaos to repair canoes, 
gossip, and participate in special ceremonies."
