Moire's Animism

The tribe is called the Moire. Several local oral sources reveal that the Moile tribe originates from two young men named Ndin and Ndifan, natives of the Anggi region, also home to the Sougb tribe. Ndfan married a woman from Minyambouw named Mogot and gave birth to a son named Mbrdin. The Ullo originate from one of the small upstream rivers, the Wariori River. The Moile tribe's customs remain strong, dating back to the time their ancestors inhabited Papua. In other words, forest utilization practices have been passed down from generation to generation.

Hatam's Animism

The Hatam tribe. Their villages are also located in the north and along the coast, with Tinam in the upper reaches of the Ransiki River to Sower in the south, and Urwam in the coastal area north of Oransbari. Furthermore, in their area, there is now a palm oil plantation, some of whose workers are transmigrants from Java. The Hatam people still practice shifting cultivation, with a year-long rotation. However, before modernization and the establishment of rural areas in Papua, the Hatam people lived in small communities of 15-20 people from the same ancestors.
