Meranjat's Animism


Other tribes from South Sumatra include all tribes from South Sumatra such as the Meranjat tribe. Based on sources obtained by the author from interviews with Pedamaran village officials. Originally the place where they lived was called Talang Lindung Bunyian.

At that time, the population concerned adhered to animist beliefs & some others were Buddhists. In Sekampung, Kholik Hamirullah was married to Rio Minak Usang Sekampung's son & appointed Rio with the title Ario Damar, based in a place called Desa Baru. His arrival was due to the religious living conditions of the community which were still influenced by the beliefs of their ancestors and the influence of Hindu-Buddhist teachings.

According to sources obtained, during the reign of Queen Sinuhun Ning Sakti, the Islamic religion developed rapidly, spreading from Palembang to Jambi, Bengkulu, Riau, and mainland to the Malay peninsula. The Muhammadiyah organization is one of the largest Islamic social organizations in Indonesia. This Muhammadiyah organization / Muhammadiyah association was founded by KH Ahmad Dahlan in Yogyakarta on 18 - 11 - 1912 Miladiyah in Kauman Village, Yogyakarta, coinciding with 18 Zulhijjah in 1330 H.

The background to the establishment of the Muhammadiyah branch in Tanjung Laut Village, Tanjung Batu District, Ogan Ilir Regency in 1981 was due to the conditions of religious life in the community which were still influenced by the beliefs of their ancestors and the influence of Hindu-Buddhist teachings. Dutch colonialism has involved the decline of Muslims, especially in the social, political & educational fields. On the one hand, the founders of the West are increasingly advanced, while on the other hand, Islamic education in Islamic boarding schools is increasingly declining due to inadequate facilities and infrastructure.

From the opinion above, it can be concluded that the background to the entry of Muhammadiyah in Tanjung Laut Village, Tanjung Batu District is due to the religious living conditions of the community which are still influenced by ancestral beliefs and the influence of Hindu-Buddhist teachings.

Indonesia is a large country with an area of ​​5,193,250 km2 consisting of many islands, including Sumatra, Java, Kalimantan, Maluku & many more. Batak is a tribal group that inhabits most of North Sumatra. Batak Toba is one of the Batak ethnic groups originating from this province. Batak Toba does not have to live in the Toba geographical area, even though their origins are Toba. For example, the majority of the indigenous population of Silindung are the Hutabarat, Panggabean, Simorangkir, Hutagalung, Hutapea & Lumbantobing clans. Likewise, the Nasution clan, which mostly lives in the Padangsidimpuan area, is related to the Siahaan clan in Balige, of course these two clans are descended from the same ancestor. Ugamo Sipelebegu is the religion of this tribe before the arrival of Islam & Christianity to Batak land. The belief in the spirits of the dead which is also called Sipelebegu , means people who worship & give offerings to spirits. Pele is giving food/honoring, b

Pesisir's Animism

Image
Islam is thought to have entered through the east coast area, although there are assumptions from the west coast, especially in the Pariaman area, the Arcat and Inderagiri areas on the east coast have also become Minangkabau port areas & the Kampar River and Batang Kuantan have their origins in the Minangkabau inland area. The arrival of the Pesisir Tribe to Barus caused the ousting of Tamil traders who had traded in the city for hundreds of years before. The next wave was a group led by Sultan Ibrahimsyah who came from the South Coast. The Dutch East Indies government employed many of them to fill teaching and government positions. Pesisir / Pasisi means the area on the edge of the ocean. The name Pesisir Tribe for this group was never known until the 20th century. In the 2000 population census, the Pesisir people were classified as a separate ethnicity that was different from the Batak. In its development, the term Pesisir Tribe was used more to emphasize the political interests

Many studies have been carried out on the Minang tribe, both looking at the traditional arts, customs, and folklore that developed in Minangkabau. Like the Nias & Enggano tribes, the Mentawai tribe are supporters of the Proto-Malay culture who settled in the western archipelago. The new concrete road built this year may only be around 3 - 5 km long. It is not uncommon for a household to get fish, it will be processed into bamboo and can be heated for consumption over the next 10 days. They usually get other daily needs through trade relations with outsiders, especially from the city of Padang. Meanwhile, Sipora Island has gardens and rice fields managed by indigenous residents and people from other tribes who have transmigrant status. Furthermore, Pagai Island has more of a wood industry environment & service civilizations that work in the wood industry.
