After combing the forest , the group finally reached the banks of the Saber . Because Saber River is considered to be the source of life in the region , they concluded that the area around the river is worthy of a new settlement .

Meaning, they are children who live in the land around the river and make a living from the wealth that is in the form of river fish . This reflects the patterns of their lives in the village , on the edges of the forest , in the upstream tributaries , the many fish and enough for drinking and bathing . However , for most of the attributes of Malays around human settlements Sakai connotes degrading and insulting because the lives of Sakai was considered far from progress .
Sakai is a primitive tribal designations , aloof , children who live in the land around the river and make a living from the wealth that is in the form of river fish , are now beginning to protests by Sakai tribal communities that have been developed , because it connotes the things that are not old-fashioned and stupid , and not to follow the progress of time .

They do not speak Bahasa Indonesia and Ternate . They still use the language Tobelo and Galela , which is the language used decades ago .
In the daily lives of people in North Maluku , which until now has also entered the digital age as the people on the island of Java , but there are still brothers and sisters in the interior of the island of Halmahera whose life is still primitive and backward and away from the touch of modernization . Though the country has been independent for more than six decades .

The discussion focused on the existence of a community of people Togutil remaining parts are lagging behind in the development of socio - cultural because they are isolated or isolate themselves from interaction with other human environments .

Tribes Mentawai , Mentawai Islands , West Sumatra .
Mentawai tribe are the original inhabitants of the Mentawai Islands . As Nias tribes and tribal Enggano , they are supporters of the Proto - Malay culture that settled in the archipelago west . Mentawai residents residential area , in addition to the Mentawai also in North Pagai and South Pagai . This tribe is known as gatherers and when first studied are not familiar with farming . Distinctive traditions is the use of tattoos all over his body , which is associated with its role and social status . In the past , tattoos are popular among both men and women who have grown Mentawai . Today , only a small part of Mentawai tribe are still tattooed . Most of them can be found in the interior of the island of Siberut .
Tattoos are made by a sipatiti ( tattoo ) . Tattooing process takes a long time , especially at the stage of preparation that can be up to many months . There are a number of ceremonies and taboos ( punen ) which must be passed by people who want to be tattooed . Not everyone is able to pass through this stage . Before sipatiti start making tattoos , there is a ritual ceremony led by sikerei ( shaman Mentawai culture ) . The hosts then had a party with the slaughtering of pigs and chickens. The pork and chicken as well as the remuneration given to sikerei. Tutulu tell that to hold the party making the tattoo alone can cost about five million dollars .
The needle used is made from animal bone or wood karai sharpened. By tapping the tap, creates lines that are the main motive Mentawai tribe tattoo. The dyes used are from charcoal that sticks in the cauldron. Sikerei which is Tutulu brother said that usually begins tattooing of the hands, arms, legs and body. For several days, the newly tattooed skin will swell and bleed. Just imagine my horror.
That said , Mentawai tattoo art tattoo including the oldest in the world , even older than the Egyptian tattoo . Unfortunately , now only a small part of Mentawai tribe which still maintain it . This is due to the government ban on the development of the doctrine of animism in the past . Tattoos are one of the cultural products then slowly disappeared . Hundreds of tattoo motif that once adorned a native Mentawai could not even undocumented . Even Tutulu which we know anything , adorn her with flowers and anchor tattoo image which is obviously not the original motive tattoo
Gentlemans wear Kambi ( bark loincloth ) , disposable ladies ' skirts woven fiber banana tree ' . And Tatto not mean Emo or Gothic , but tradition . Along era , this characteristic began to fade .

Half a century ago, before the entry of foreign cultures , Mentawai live in Neolithic civilization . Mysterious natural history and the origins of the Mentawai people , some experts suspect they include old Malay / Proto Malays , others suspect they include Polynesian nation . There is also the opinion , the Mentawai is Proto - Malayan who migrated from nearby areas , given the similarity with Nias ( cosmology and physical anthropology ) .
Her mysterious again , why they are not found in residential civilization large stones ( menhirs , dolmen and stone grave ) ? It could be because of the new location of their house, or because the small units of the migrant population to less energy to build stone artifacts ?
Some hunting and household appliances from stone , have long replaced the metal imported from Sumatra .
While that , Mentawai people themselves believe tradition says that they came from Nias Island ( South ? ) Were dropped into the area on the west coast of Siberut Simatalu . island - village set on the banks of the river dusunya - as a means of traffic, splitting the dense forest that partially flooded swamp .
The hamlet ( usually inhabited tens / hundreds ) consists of several uma ( home together for some families ) as the center , while the lalep ( individually for single-family homes ) and the ribs ( temporary home for young couples ) simple surrounding .
Hunting is the main income in addition to gathering sago . Using an ax and a stone pickaxe obtained from outside vendors who stopped buying forest products . After many merchants came , then they got the iron equipment . Siberut particular , gardening and farming livelihoods in forest edge swampy .
Skull boar , monkeys and sea Ibat skin ( the turtle ) uma & hung on a wall rack , a sign of how many times the party was held at the uma . Not because of lack of work .
In the event " gets hunted " Social ties seem real . Once hunted to arrive at uma , wooden musical instruments and bolobok obbuk was rung ; gather fellow tribesmen . Bush meat should be divided according to the rules , the violation is considered to bring disaster, so damned crocodile and the epitome of greed.
Thus, there is very limited number of prey as needed . They have to divide ethical bush meat in parts neighbor , if the distribution of prey in the environment results that a tribe known tribal neighbors . Their consumption patterns indirectly while maintaining the balance of nature .
Arrivals outside ( si toi ) must pay tribute to the indigenous population ( sibakkat laggai ) , if you want to manage the forest around the village unspoiled . Traditionally , the land around the village is owned sibakkat laggai .
Their primary food is sago and taro . But then consume rice , fish , various species of birds and wild boar . There are quite a staple in their forest swampy .
Tobacco , iron equipment , clothing , fuel , rice , salt , etc. , are usually brought in by traders from Padang ( West Sumatra ) as the nearby area , which they barter with the results of lush forests and rich (rattan, manau, wood, clove, copra, etc.).
Nothing strata , social level , there is no leader or group for their slaves . Live in groups in the settlement which they called ' UMA ' ( a term for a group of settlers and the settlements themselves ) . Uma , usually in the form of traditional houses are quite large and can be occupied by some patrilineal -based nuclear family ( patrilineal ) . Around uma established some ' lalep ' ( marriage family home they have not officially ) . Each man took a wife from uma neighbors . If the husband dies later , his widow returned to his native uma .
Each uma led a RIMATA . Usually men are wise and experienced , but there are also chosen based on ancestry . Rimata actually indigenous leader uma itself. If anyone usually are considered pioneers of the person skilled in the art , and should not be parents experienced . Uma relationship with one another is maintained by the bonds of marriage .
Clear leadership , reflected in the religious system . all ceremonies - their diverse traditional ceremony , led by a Kerei or sikere ( shaman , spiritual leader ) .
Original religion of the Mentawai , Sabulungan , believe that everything has a spirit each entirely separate from the body and freely roam widely in nature .
Strength shrouded in an object that can disrupt human , they call ' bajao ' . Therefore should be held ceremonies ' pulaijat ' ( cleaning uma ) at a specific time ( for 1 week , even more ) . During that time they were exposed to the rules punen ( ritual prohibition of work -related taboo pulaijat ) . Sikerei ( master of ceremonies ) are not bound to the origin uma group , he may be called to give treatment in another uma . Return for treatment that will be shared on a fellow member uma origin.
