Dani's Animism

Image
I'm not an anthropology student myself, but my childhood love of watching Indiana Jones movies made me determined to one day meet a tribe in the Amazon interior. While trekking in Kurima, I encountered a group of Yali people. Much exploration has been done in the remote highlands of Papua. Then, an American investigator named Richard Archbold, a member of his team, was the first foreigner to make contact with the indigenous people, who had never had contact with another country before. This tribe, who live at the peak of the Jayawijaya mountains, is indeed very closed to new civilizations. The materials used include ironwood for the central support pillars of the Honai house, jagat, rope, reeds, peeled planks, baseboards, and so on. Before the corpse freezes for three hours, they tie it in a squatting position to a prepared piece of wood. This ceremony doesn't take place every year, but every four or five years, so it's no surprise that the Hubula tribe performs it with suc...

Imekko's Animism

Image
Indonesia is an archipelago comprising 17,508 islands, dominated by sea waters, which cover 62% of Indonesia's land area, spanning 81,000 km. There are approximately 9,261 coastal villages with a population of 22%. Of the many sea and land settlements, one of them is the Maybrat, Imian, and Sawiat tribes in South Sorong and Maybrat regencies, Papua. The Imian Sawiat tribe lives in the Sawiat and Teminabuan districts, which have a humid tropical climate and are dominated by farmers, fishermen, and hunters. According to local residents, this language is also spoken by the Birau tribe, who inhabit several villages north of Mate, including Sibae, Wadoi, Solta Baru, and Serkos. According to informants, in the past, their ancestors did not know the name Inanwatan. Before religion, the ancestors of the Inanwatan people believed in supernatural powers that controlled the natural world. Another tribe is the Imekko. The Governor stated that starting next year, the local government will ensur...

Maybrat's Animism

Image
In Papua, the people are better known as swanggi. This is evident in the use of the term bobot, meaning someone who owns a lot of oriental cloth is called bobot, and a bobot usually holds the position of clan/village head. In Indonesia, in particular, and Southeast Asia, people generally did not experience the Copper Age but instead entered the Bronze and Iron Ages. This is evident from the discovery of carved drinking cups in Sauf village, depicting stars, boats, and depicting elements of life considered important. Two famous epics from ancient India, the theory of Atlantis and Lemuria, is now further strengthened by written evidence such as Plato's dialogues with Solon and ancient Egyptian priests about Atlantis, ancient Hindu manuscripts on the Ramayana and Bharatayudha concerning the ancient Rama dynasty, and archaeological evidence of the Monhenjo Daroo civilization, Easter Island, and the pyramids of Egypt and South America. As we passed through the Ayamaru district, the cool...

Moru's Animism

This regency is an archipelago and crossed by international trade routes to the Pacific Ocean. It is located in the northeastern region of East Nusa Tenggara province. Legend has it that the skull of King Abui, who led the war, is still preserved in a cave in Mataru. 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. They were returning to Europe after sailing around the world, and after Magellan, the leader of the Victorian fleet, was killed in the Philippines. The largest population is in Teluk Muti...

Borai's Animism

The tribe is the Borai. The Boria dance is a foreign dance that has become one of the modern dances for the people of Pinang Island. Apart from that, in Malaysia there are many types of dance in each region in West & East Malaysia. The Shiites commemorate Hussein's death by holding a death event on the 10th of Muharram. This Boria dance is also associated with the dance of the Yazids from Persia to commemorate their victory in the war with Hussein. Therefore, its patterns & shapes are colored by various cultural elements such as animism, dynamism, Hinduism, Buddhism & Islam.

Inanwatan's Animism

Jauh sebelum Ibn Arabi pada awal abad ke - 3 H Abu Yazid al Bustami membawa konseptentang al wali al kamil. Ekonomi dunia pulih pada akhir 1890an & kemakmuran kembali. Penyelundupan, biaya perang, korupsi & kesalahan manajemen yang terus berlanjut menyebabkan kebangkrutan pada akhir abad ke - 18. M Nasroen adalah orang pertama yang memelopori kajian falsafat etnik pada dekade 60an melalu bukunya Falsafah Minangkabau. Hal ini telah mengkonsolidasikan pemerintahan modern ke negara bagian Melaka di Malaysia. Ibu kota di dirikan di Batavia, yang jadi pusat jaringan perdagangan VOC di Asia. Keluarga Kerajaan melarikan diri dalam pengasingan di Inggris. Kebijakan & strategi kolonial jadi tanggung jawab kementrian koloni yang berbasis di Den Haag. Di penjara Sawahlunto di Sumatra para tahanan harus melakukan kerja kasar di tambang batu bara.

Kokoda's Animism

Image
In this ritual, the Ndembu people attribute bad luck in hunting, reproductive irregularities in women, and other issues to the actions of the spirits of the deceased. This land became the origin of the Warmon village, which is separate from the migrant villages. This village is home to nomads who were displaced by the Domine Eduard Osok airport construction project. Tourists flock to Raja Ampat through this airport. The Muhammadiyah campus is located in a forest area. Syamsuddin was chosen by acclamation because he had studied in Java and was considered capable of leading the community forward. In the 40-hectare Arar village in the middle of the sea, there are only four schools. Sorong Regency serves as a comparison. In 2004, the population increased. Bambang Irawan, a former IMM activist and now the principal of Unimuda Labschool Elementary School, recounted his struggle since 2013. On December 12, 2015, the village was definitively established, and Syamsuddin was inaugurated as villa...

The 2016 Ristoja survey was conducted in 11 provinces. Hattra served as 102 informants: 20 were over 61 years old, 67 were aged 41-60, and 15 were under 40. 85.3% of the Hattra had more than 10 years of knowledge. This situation is closely related to Hattra's efforts to find and develop malaria remedies. The herbal remedies data can also be further utilized to support the sustainable development goal of ending the malaria epidemic by 2030. Some medicinal plants, such as tinang bark and pasak bumi (early pasak bumi), are difficult to find and are even imported from Kalimantan. In 2011, the Edera district was divided into three: Edera, Syahcame, and Bamgi. The seven villages and sub-districts mentioned above are Bade, Geturki, Mememu, Gimikiya, Banamepe, Yodom, and Isyaman. Tab means sun, and fatjich means shade, calm, prosperity, and peace. Youtefa Bay is also called Fatjich, meaning calm bay. The area is a mountainous valley flanked by hills with generally steep cliffs. Several pea...

Merauje's Animism

Image
Such as the 1945 Constitution, regional regulations, and other written laws. 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. In his preamble, he stated that when examining cases, judges m...
