Kedayan's Animism


In the Sipitang region of Sabah, the Sabahan Lun Bawang and Lundayeh tribes celebrate their harvest festival every two years during the GATA festival. Traditional dances and costumes are exhibited together with people from other Indigenous tribes in the region, such as the Kedayan tribe. The Kedayan / Kadayan tribe is one of the 7 original ethnic groups of Brunei. The Kedayan tribe is one of the nations that live in Miri.

The Kedayans in Labuan are not coastal and tend to live in inland areas. Initially, the ancestors of this traditional community came from a village called Pinapalan. The traditional clothing worn by the Kedayan people is black with red edges. This color is a strong influence from the traditional clothing vendors of Ponorogo, who are the ancestors of the Kedayan tribe.

Small Java is what is most likely the island of Java today. In fact, some people say that the Kedayan tribe comes from Kutai. Based on the language theory where there are many diverse languages ​​is likely to be the land of origin of the language used in the Nusantara region, meaning that Kalimantan / Borneo is the ancestral land of the people on this Nusantara island.

Those who are said to help the Johor army search for the daughter of the Pingai Bird who was run away by Awang Semaun to be made the wife of Alak Betatar. The belief system of the Dayak Okolod Pa Lemumut people before they knew religion was animism. The Dayak Okolod Pa Lemumut people believe in 2 mythologies.

The arrival of the Dutch aimed to conduct research & missionary work. Animism beliefs were slowly abandoned along with the entry of evangelism around 1940. This religion first entered through Tarakan and became increasingly popular due to exogamy.

Although they have embraced Christianity, the Dayak Okolod Pa Lemumut people still establish ulung in Libang village as a representative of their ties to ancestral culture. Ulung Sumadat is an area containing an inscription in the form of a crocodile statue & there is a tomb of an ancestor named Sumadat which is located at the mouth of the Sungayan. Ulung Sipai Malinau is a land containing an inscription in the form of a crocodile statue & there is an ancestral tomb named Sipai Malinau located in Batang Siang Lemumut.

Ulung Rawas is a land containing an inscription in the form of a crocodile statue & there is an ancestral tomb located on Mount Rawas. Bayai mangila is a place for rituals in the form of ancestral graves located at the mouth of Siang Mamas. Indonesian independence was also spread by soldiers upstream carrying radios.

In the development of the state of Sarawak, Malaysia, for example, the Kedayan tribe stands on its own behalf and is not part of the Malay, Kedayan is the same as several other Muslim tribes of Sarawak who continue to use their respective identities, such as the Melanau tribe.

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.

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.
