The ancestors of the Pitap Dayak people originally lived in the Tanah Hidup area, which is the border area between the Balangan and Kotabaru districts. Tanah Hidup is a sacred land area believed to be the area of ​​origin of their ancestors. Furthermore, based on the 1993 sub-district decree, Ajung village was merged into Iyam. The mythology of the Meratus Dayak tribe / Bukit Dayak tribe states that the Banjar & Bukit tribes are descendants of 2 brothers, namely Si Ayuh alias Datung Ayuh alias Dayuhan alias Sandayuhan who gave birth to the Bukit tribe and Bambang Siwara alias Bambang Basiwara who gave birth to the Banjar tribe.

The Dayak Bulusu tribe is one of the Dayak sub-tribes in North Kalimantan. According to oral literature passed down from generation to generation, the Dayak Bulusu tribe originates from Dagas Sebengawang, a place upstream in Malinau Regency, precisely in Gong Solok. This tribe is one of the minority tribes living on the island of Kalimantan, precisely in North Kalimantan.  According to oral tradition, this tribe is the Maalau Sesat people, who fled to the jungle around Air Hitam, Bukit 12 National Park. By the end of the 18th century, most of the local population identified themselves not based on their ancestral ethnicity, but as a separate group of people, whose name was adopted from the name of the bay and the largest settlement established on the coast. Since the mid-20th century, the population of the ethnic group has experienced a rapid population decline & remained around 800 people at the beginning of the 21st century.  This is done by mixing people from different ethnic gr

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.

M Nasroen was the first person to pioneer the study of ethnic philosophy in the 60s through his book Falsafah Minangkabau. Then Sunoto conducted a survey of Javanese ethnic philosophy. The main sources of ethnic philosophy are mythology, legends, folklore, the way an ethnic group builds its houses & holds its ceremonies, the literature they produce, and the epics they write, all of which underlie the building of the ethnic philosophy. Talking about human philosophy in the context of the Archipelago also means talking about the ethnic philosophy embraced by all members of a tribe. However, not all ancestors of tribes in Indonesia passed down their philosophy in the form of books or writing because they did not yet have a script / written language/writing system. The Berawa tribe passed down its philosophy through spoken media, stories, and mythology, which was told to its tribe members. This study aims to obtain answers to the formulation of the problem proposed above, with the hope

The Paser / Dayak Paser tribe is an ethnic group whose ancestral homeland is along the southeast of the island of Kalimantan / Borneo / located in the southern part of East Kalimantan, Indonesia. The Paser tribe has an ancient civilization, even in the mythological story the Paser tribe is one of the oldest ethnic groups on the island of Kalimantan / Borneo & they call the bansu tatau datai danum civilization which means humans who live on the coast, rivers and lakes from the bansu tatau datai danum civilization.

Experts divide the form of primitive beliefs into several parts, namely, dynamism, animism, fetishism, and totemism. Animism is a belief that assumes that everything in nature has a soul. Animism is a belief system based on various spirits/souls and spirits around human habitation. The term animism means the belief that everything that exists must be alive. For example, trees, valleys, mountains, rivers, hills, the moon, and animals all have inhabitants. In the above case regarding animism, animism is a belief in spirits that are not visible to humans with the naked eye. Awareness and belief of society in the existence of supernatural powers/spirits that exist in objects, so that these objects are used as a

This tribe originated from bamboo and eggs, which turned into two humans, who were then named Jau Iru and Lemlaisuri. When they grew up, the two of them married and had a child named Jau Anyi. Paran Anyi did not have a son but had a daughter named Lahai Bara, who later married a man named Wan Paren, who succeeded him in his position. From the marriage of Lahai Bara & Wan Paren, a son named Si Barau and a daughter named Simun Luwan were born. It was in the upper reaches of Long Peleban village that Lahai Bara's coffin was buried. Simun Luwan's departure was caused by a dispute with her own brother, at that time it was the beginning of the movement of the Kayan tribe, leaving their ancestral place of origin on the Payang River to the Kayan River & settling not far from the city of Tanjung Selor, the current capital of Bulungan district. Simun Luwan married Sadang, and a daughter, Asung Luwan, was born from their marriage. During Sadang's rule, the Kenyah tribe from Sa

The journey to the village can be done using 4-wheeled or 2-wheeled land transportation, and it takes approximately 30 minutes. Not only that, when we arrived at the village square of Sapi Island, we were also greeted by a fairly large crocodile statue. One of the Dayak Lundayeh cultural activists, Samarinda, East Kalimantan, Steven explained, that the crocodile is one of the identities of Lundayeh. While telu is meat/fish that is marinated with salt & stored in bamboo for over a month. Bandar and suburban students differ in terms of socio-economic and ethnic cultural diversity. Before the 1920s, the Lun Bawang tribe was mostly animist. Before religion entered the Mentarang and Krayan areas in North Kalimantan, the Dayak Lundayeh people were animists. As with other ethnic groups, Dayak Lundayeh also has traditio

Based on the map of the Dutch East Indies in 1878, the border position was much further north than the North Kalimantan—Sabah border today because it included all the villages of the Tidung tribe in the Tawau region. Tidung speakers, especially Tarakan Tidung, are bilingual. They speak Tidung but can also speak Indonesian. This language can also be interacted with throughout the archipelago. The Malinaw subdialect is generally found in the upstream area of ​​the Sesayap River, including the Malinau & Tideng Pale districts. For writing purposes, they used Malay Arabic letters before they knew Latin letters like they do now. The Tidung tribe adheres to animist beliefs and lives by farming and fishing in the sea. The Tidung people adopted Islam around the 18th century. It is said that the Sultan of Sulu, Sultan Salahuddin Karamat / Pangiran Bakhtiar, married a Chinese girl from the Tirun area. So from the blood descendants of this Tidung princess, there was a son named Datu Bantilan &

Timor Leste does not have an official culture. The culture of the Timorese people depends on the culture of East Timor, which is a mixture of tribes from Indonesia, one of which is the Marobo tribe. A French anthropologist named Brigitte Clamagirand once settled in the Marobo tribe settlement. In 1990, it was discovered that the population was around 3000 people. The reproduction process is the process of repeating and reproducing everything that is accepted as cultural heritage from our previous ancestors. Animism is a form of religion based on the belief that various kinds of spirits live in nature around humans. This belief gives birth to religious activities in the form of spirit worship. William A Haviland defines animism as a belief in spiritual beings who are considered to animate nature. Animism developed in a society that saw itself as part of nature, not the ruler of nature. For them, Gods & Goddesses are not important, but the forest is full of all kinds of spirits. Reli

The concentration of settlements of the Rongga tribe, generally living in East Flores & East Manggarai districts. The belief system during the Perundagian period still continued the previous period, namely animism & dynamism. The discovery of prehistoric sites proves that the ancestors of Indonesian people have long believed in animist beliefs, namely the worship of spirits in certain objects other than living creatures. In the archipelago, before the arrival of religion from the outside, the people still adhered to old beliefs, namely animism & dynamism. Animism is the belief that everything on earth, both living and dead, has a spirit and must be respected so that it does not disturb humans. Evidence of animism & dynamism beliefs can be seen from the remains of local cultural beliefs of people who believe in the worship of ancestral spirits and supernatural objects. Buildings left by adherents of animism & dynamism are often referred to as original buildings of pa

In November 2007, there were 11 sub-districts where food needs had to be supplied by international aid. A French anthropologist named Brigitte Clamagirand once lived in a Marobo tribe settlement. Most Timorese also retain some traditional animist beliefs & customs from pre-colonial times. Timor Leste's traditional beliefs have certain elements of animism. Usually, they say that maromak comes first & then matebian, spirits of ancestors and relatives who have died / klamar. The souls of the ancest

In a discussion about Lamaholot culture held by the Lamaholot community in Kupang recently, there was an answer from the resource person to a question from the discussion participants that made a deep impression on us. The story is about a boy who catches bass in a lake in a New Hampshire town. The 11-year-old boy managed to catch a large bass at exactly 10pm, 2 hours before the bass fishing season started. This province consists of several islands, including Solor Island. Lamaholot is an ethnic group that inhabits the East Flores & Lembata districts in East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. They also live side by side with other ethnic groups, such as the Kedang & Sikka tribes, as well as migrant communities such as the Bugis, Makassar, Buton & Bajo. About the origin of the Lamaholot people, there is an oral history that says that they came from Keroko Pukeng / Lepan Batang, a small island to the north of Pantar Island which is now included in the Alor district. Meanwhile, the ori

Like people in other areas, some Sumbawa people still adhere to animism & some adhere to Hinduism. Before Islam came to Sumbawa, the people on the island first adhered to an animism & dynamism belief system, namely belief in the spirits of ancestors who had died. However, after Islamic teachings entered Sumbawa, the animist belief system & Hindu-Buddhist beliefs slowly began to disappear. Apart from Sunan Prapen, Sunan Giri also sent one of his students named Sheikh Zainal Abidin, son of Kolono Marhum, the first King of Ternate to convert to Islam. After Kolono Marhum died in 1486, his position was replaced by his son, Sultan Zainal Abidin. It was only during the reign of the last King of the Awan Kuning dynasty, namely Dewa Maja Purwa, that records were found about the activities of the Kingdom's government, including that Dewa Maja Purwa had signed an agreement with the Kingdom of Gowa in Sulawesi. 1637 Mas Goa was succeeded by his sister's son, Mas Bantan. After

This group lives in the western part of the bay, spread across mountains and valleys. In Bima, the belief in animism - dynamism is often referred to as makakamba makakimbi which developed during the Naka, Ncuhi, and Kingdom times & even today there are still some who believe in the supernatural powers of certain objects. Meanwhile, ancestral spirits are referred to as marafu & ncuhi which developed during the proto-historical / pre-Islamic period. This reality has encouraged Sufi scholars when spreading Islam in the archipelago to use a compromise method with a haqiqah approach so that the Islamic teachings conveyed tend to be more collaborative with the local traditions where the spread of Islam was carried out.

Most of the inhabitants of the island of Lombok come from the Sasak tribe. Most of the population inhabiting the province of West Nusa Tenggara are local indigenous tribes, namely 93.33%, including the Sasak tribe 67.57%. The word sak is also used by some Dayak tribes on the island of Kalimantan to say one. Sasak, Sumbawa & Mbojo are the languages ​​spoken by the residents of the two main islands. However, judging from the pronunciation of the Sasak language, it is similar to Balinese. With the capital of the Kawi language he mastered, the Sasak script & language, many poets composed, adapted/copied ancient Javanese people into Sasak lontar. As a nation with a lot of diversity, Indonesia is always interesting to discuss. The village community there still preserves animist & spiritual culture which is believed to be the guardian of Mount Rinjani. The followers of this order also believe in the existence of the spirits of ancestors and supernatural powers in objects. Respect
