Customary law expert Van Vollenhoven stated that customary law is indigenous law and is not based on legislation enacted by the Dutch East Indies government. Then, with the arrival of Buddhism, Islam, Christianity, Catholicism, and Confucianism, cultural and religious upheaval was inevitable. Such as the Jambi UU book, Simbur Cahaya, which contains land regulations in the Palembang highlands, UU nan 20, which contains customary crimes in Minangkabau, Ruhur Parsaoran, which contains regulations on social life for the Batak people in Tapanuli, and several other regulations. Customary law, in the sense of custom, has existed since the reign of Sultan Iskandar Muda in Aceh Darussalam from 1607 to 1636. This law was written by Jalaluddin bin Syeh Muhammad Kamaluddin, son of Kadhi Baginda Katib Negri Tyrussan, on the orders of Sultan Alaiddin Jihan Syah.

He oversees several clan/tribal chiefs, such as Hanasbey. There are several versions of the formation of the Enggros village and its mythology. This myth undoubtedly holds intrinsic value for the local people, as it relates to their ancestral history. The eagle was ordered to pick up the roof of the Kariwari and fly east. However, halfway down the Holtekamp coast, the eagle felt the weight and released its burden. So, it dropped the roof into the sea, where it miraculously transformed into a rock, later named Hefufuk Seahar. A village was then formed next to Tabati. However, residents with important tools were placed in the Skouw area. This myth is similar to the biblical story of the creation of the first humans in the Garden of Eden. He was elected on November 28, 2015, and has served for approximately one year.

Itaar's Animism

The 1965 tragedy was the greatest tragedy in this nation's dark history. The Dayak-Madurese conflict in West Kalimantan in mid-February 2001, for example, illustrates the potential for this disintegration. Rahmawati stated that the struggle for religious ideology within the Katingan Dayak family in Tewang Tampang village had implications for traditional practices, serving as an arena for prestige contestation.

Furthermore, the area manages Hamadi Beach as a natural tourist destination, offering rest huts and selling snacks. The riv...

Hamadi's Animism

Meanwhile, according to other sources, the name of Tanjung Hamadi comes from a descendant of the Sultan of Jailolo named Ahmadi who fled the war in Maluku to the Jayapura region and married a local woman, so that his name, which was later gradually called Hamadi, became a surname by his descendants. Because Jantewai died, his son named Hamadi was adopted as ondoafi. Before the arrival of Christianity and Islam in Jayapura, the Tobati tribe still adhered to animism / belief in ancestors.

Indonesia, a pluralistic nation, is situated among islands, stretching from Sabang to Merauke. The Wondama Bay Regency has had its capital in Raisiei since April 12, 2003. Given its diverse geographic characteristics, it is not surprising that the Malay Archipelago boasts a diverse array of ethnicities, flora, and fauna, as identified by Wallace. Many of its flora are closer to those found in Australia than in Asia. From Suabey to the Anggris River, there are the Arimiusore and Wiay clans, whose traditional plains stretch up to Mount Topai. Several tributaries flow and hydrate the land, providing fertility and a haven for the tribe from prehistoric times to the present day. The Kurudu tribe inhabits Kurudu Island and the Pamai Erar coastline on the north coast of Papua. The Wamesa tribe, also known as the Windesi, resides on the eastern coast of the Bird's Head region.
