Sebyar's Animism

Image

The Sirus house has two staircases that can be customized to suit individual needs. This means they can be located at the front and back, or on either side of the house, one as an ascending staircase and one as a descending staircase. Before the arrival of Christianity in the Arfak Mountains, the community adhered to animist beliefs, which believe that objects possess supernatural powers.

Moskona's Animism

This could happen anywhere, and it was exactly what happened in Timor-Leste recently during their struggle for independence. Like the ancient human groups that settled in the interior of Seram, the Alune tribe traditionally subsisted on forest products. Meanwhile, the tifa (traditional drum), with its dynamic rhythms amidst distinctive cries, adds a distinctive touch to this dance, which originates from the Asmat region. The Dani people of the Baliem Valley sometimes wore trousers but retained their koteka (penis koteka). Given the location and geography of Minyambouw village, its unique thermal conditions are evident. There are 13 mountains, the highest being Mount Umsini and Mount Mamofcu, at 2,950 and 2,985 meters respectively.

The alliance of five coastal kingdoms is believed to have had close ties with one another; their kings even claimed to share a common ancestor. Many of the Majapahit soldiers eventually settled in Munaseli, so it's no surprise that many Munaseli residents today appear Javanese. They also had trade ties, even blood ties, with similar alliances stretching from Solor to Lembata. The trade routes established not only among them but also reached Sulawesi. Some even say that small islands in northern Australia were part of this trade route.
