Therefore , the Jew is also referred to as Single Houses .

Not just anyone should touch the camshaft that is stored in the Asmat typical home . Jew is a place considered sacred for Asmat . There are a number of customary rules in it that must be studied and understood by the Asmat people themselves , including the requirement to build Jew .

Know Jew .

Some of the things of the typical home Asmat :

Asmat typical house made ​​of wood is always set up facing the river .
The length of a typical home can Asmat tens of meters . There is even a Jew whose length can be up to fifty feet with a dozen meters in width .

Amount equal to the amount of jew door open hearth and sculpture bis ( sculpture overview of the Asmat ancestor ) . Number of doors is also considered to reflect the number of clumps Asmat who dwell around the typical home Asmat .
After the construction of a typical house Asmat is completed , they will do a party during the night .

Jew or the servant of the house is a proper name for the typical home Asmat . Asmat tribe is one of the ethnic groups living in Papua . A bird 's head shaped island , located in the eastern part of Indonesia.

Regional Cultural Preservation Effort .

If now we ask the majority of teenagers or young people about the many cultures of our region in Indonesia of course most of the answers that they will spend is ignorance about it .
Because it is a lot of our youth away from a desire to know and understand different customs and cultures that exist in Indonesia . They seemed to be educated in an environment that not many know the culture or customs .
And if they and their parents prefer foreign cultures that exist and apply abroad . Because they assume that what is there in the foreign culture and have better quality and higher quality than what is available in the country .
That phenomenon. But today has been a growing awareness of conservation efforts to re-run the existing culture and customs . Although not up to the level of love that culture , at least teenagers and our generation began to be introduced and invited to know the culture .
And finally , gradually, from a feeling that can be inserted already know the feeling to want to love and take care, as long as it is still in the permitted corridor.
We know at this time , on this effort is supported by many television programs that broadcast the show know better the culture that exists. We can find a lot of ways like this .
Most of these events are outings . They adventure into remote areas on the other side of the Indonesian region. Seeing how the civilization built by the people there.
With a look and find out how the lives of the people there and all that they preserve the culture , it can open our eyes to the existence of life elsewhere in our lives .
Perhaps some of us live and grew up in a big city environment that provides all the luxury and ease . But when we look at the television , we can see that there are some other people who do not have life as we have .
Most of the tribes in the interior of living with what is. They took a taste of what exists in nature . So they are so giving appreciation to nature .
Their efforts to respect and protect nature will always be in their mind . Because if nature is a friend who always accompany their lives .
This is a good thing to be worthy to be preserved and maintained . Feeling to appreciate nature . Because it is mostly human now so do not have a great appreciation for nature . They perform a variety of destruction .
This action will certainly have a negative effect for the life of their own . There will be many natural disasters that hit . This not only will give a bad impact to themselves alone . Another person who did not actually know about what they have done also received bad consequences of what they do .
This is what should be avoided . Although human nature has always wanted the best for her life , but all the efforts made to achieve it must be adapted to the conditions and circumstances around him .
This is to keep the other person adversely affected by actions that would have been done . There should also be awareness to want to keep the existing culture . Keep it as long as it is still the case in accordance with the norms and values ​​prevailing in society . That is precisely what we should do about Asmat tribal house full of philosophy .

Asmat tradition.

Asmat so far only known as one of the tribes in Indonesia, which has a sculpture or carving awesome. Asmat sculpture to not only craft but an integral part of the elements of belief.
Therefore, all people have the ability Asmat art sculpture because they are part of the worship is done to ancestors or ancestors who are believed to have supernatural powers beyond their earthly powers.
Such belief is then able to generate confidence and trust of them to be able to carve or sculpt wood is good and the power of high art, even without the help of a sketch once.
Native tribes of Irian Jaya or Papua has two living areas , the areas along the coast with a wide area around the inland lowland swampy and muddy . Latter area is an area that is covered by tropical jungle and mangrove trees that dominate the forest sago .
Therefore, the tribe known for its wood carving distinctiveness is divided into two groups, ie, groups of people living in coastal regions and groups of people living in rural areas.
Both the residence differences also affect the community creations, especially in cultural values. Both of these groups have differences in terms of structure soisal, the language used, lifestyle and way of thinking, religious activities or rituals performed, and so forth.
In addition, people living in coastal areas are also subdivided into two groups, namely ethnic and tribal Bisman Shimei.

Origins Asmat.

The origin of the Asmat tribe the same as the original in New Zealand and Papua New Guinea which is derived from the clump Polonesia with the physical characteristics of skin color and black hair, round eyelids, high nose and boned strapping.
As part of the ethnic groups in Indonesia, Asmat in his daily life takes place with two leadership, the formal leader of the government and tribal leaders from the community.
Like the other tribes in Papua, such as Yohukimo tribes, and tribal Jayawijaya Mappi, customary chief or chiefs play a pivotal role in the governance of everyday life.
In carrying out programs authorized formal government, the cooperation with indigenous chiefs or heads is absolutely necessary. Without cooperation with tribal leaders, government programs could run aground in the middle of the road.
In the selection of chiefs or heads of tribes indigenous to the Asmat, not a hereditary position as most other traditional tribes. Also the selection of chiefs is not familiar with the succession of leadership as known in the royal tradition.
Chiefs could come from the oldest tribes, clans are considered old or even can be removed from a man who is credited, as it managed to win the war for example. So, after a chieftain died, of the elements that originated a new sachem.

Public confidence Asmat.

Issues of trust, in Asmat before entering the missionaries who brought Christianity Catholic and Protestant, even later Islam, Asmat belief is animism. Typical Asmat woodcarving was not apart of this animism problem at first.
However, after entering the influence of religion, belief itself is starting to fade, but not so with the wood carving handicraft. The things that are magical and supernatural, become an integral part.
To sustain daily life, Asmat know how to grow crops especially good farming. Some commodities such as matoa, citrus, corn, carrots, taro has been well recognized. Similarly, in terms of how to raise chickens and pigs, the Asmat is not something that is considered new.
Asmat tradition is preserved in addition to the art of wood carving is a tradition of fighting. Inter-tribal wars were common in Asmat life, as well as other tribes in Papua. Even the tradition of clan warfare is arguably a terrible tradition.
Just imagine, when the enemy had been killed, his corpse usually it will be brought to the village, then cut and distributed to the entire village to eat.
Even more sadistic , tens of years back , after a war between tribes and the enemy were killed , then his brain is built with sago leaves , then baked and eaten together .
According to a recent survey by the Indonesian government, in a village inhabited by 100 to 1000 people. Traditionally each village had one house flunky. The house is a house flunky venue for religious ceremonies and customs.

Community Livelihood Asmat.

In general, people who live in the interior is very closely related to the livelihood of hunting. Likewise with the Asmat people who live in the interior, they also perform a variety of hunting wild animals to meet their needs in terms of food and clothing. Some animals are often the object of poaching so they include wild boar, birds, snakes, dragons, and other animals that live in the forest.
Meanwhile, the Asmat people who live in coastal areas have the same livelihood with different media. This coastal community groups usually seek game that is in the sea, or more often called by the fishermen.
However, although there are methods and different game objects, both groups have the same peculiarities, which are both made of sago as a staple food that must be consumed everyday.

Asmat Traditional House.

Once we know the origin of the Asmat , their beliefs , and livelihoods that are used to meet the needs of their lives , now we will get acquainted with the place they live or what we call as a custom home .
All the traditional tribe in this world has a traditional house that serves as a community shelter, or even a place to perform various ritual activities associated with the custom. therefore, each custom home has a different characteristic of the concept of philosophy is not the same.
Likewise with the Asmat people who have a custom home with the philosophy of the values ​​of decency and the desire to avoid outside interference tribal society in terms of making the custom house.
Asmat society is still holding firm stance and their primordial belief that their lives are protected by ancestors who always gives the values ​​of the culture.
Here is a custom home Asmat which has the function and role of each in terms of maintaining the culture.
The traditional house is the home of the first Jew, the custom house built for the sake of special interests while doing activities that are traditional or customary under the terms, such as customary meeting activities, activities to make various crafts, make a variety of wood carvings, as well as a residence for men flunky. Thus, the Jew is often also referred to as the footman by the local indigenous people.
The second is a custom home Tsyem home, custom home that is occupied by the entire family. Family members who inhabit this custom home is usually numbered two or three families.
This custom home Tsyem placed around the custom house Jew because of its small size. However, both of these custom homes have in common in terms of manufacture, ie not using building materials such as nails because the ingredients used are natural substances found in nature.
