Mbaham's Animism
The tribe is the Mbaham Matta. The Mbaham Matta are an ethnic group living on the Bomberai Peninsula, Fakfak Regency, West Papua, Indonesia. Furthermore, several ancestral sites serve as primary places for understanding nature and social dynamics, as well as a means of daily interaction with their ancestors. Although some people still hold onto their ancestral beliefs, the majority are Muslim, Protestant, and Catholic. The rhythm played is the tifa qasidah, although it can also be played by Protestant and Catholic Christians, for Christmas and New Year celebrations, priest ordinations, welcoming guests, and other events.
