So, in Twilight Princess Link is only called a divine beast by Midna and other twili/dark world beings during his era. In the light world, he is called cursed and a monster. The exact farthest thing from "divine". However. I love that the divine beasts in Botw/Tolk are inspired by Twi. I think that little chuckle from Twi is him laughing that it took until Botw to get the divine beast title by fellow light dwellers.

I have to wonder if the ones who made the divine beast ever knew that Twi's "divine" form was a wolf. I can see them going into catalogs of history to look up ancient beasts/animals to guess which one the hero could have been. Understandingly each tribe had its own biases on what a divine beast was. Goron did a Dodongo, Rito did a Helmaroc, Zora did Elephant, and the Gerudo did a lama. (just possible thoughts) None even thought a "Devine Beast" being a wolf, since wolves are considered enemies/monsters in both games and are commonly found. This has brought my attention to one thought that has never left my mind since. "They just can't get my beast form right!"

"I have been kept away from my family and only seen them a few times over the past 47 years. It is more than hard, especially when the kids write to me and tell me they want to see me and I cannot afford the cost of travel. If I was free I would build me a home on my tribal land, help build the economy of our nations and give a home to our homeless children,” Peltier said in an interview conducted over email via one of his approved contacts.

Peltier, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribe and of Lakota and Dakota descent, was convicted of murdering two FBI agents during a shootout on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in June 1975. Peltier was a leader of the American Indian Movement (Aim), an Indigenous civil rights movement founded in Minneapolis that was infiltrated and repressed by the FBI.

The 1977 murder trial – and subsequent parole hearings – were rife with irregularities and due process violations including evidence that the FBI had coerced witnesses, withheld and falsified evidence. Amnesty International, UN experts, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and the Rev Jesse Jackson are among those to have condemned his prolonged detention as arbitrary and politically motivated and called for his release.

Tuva

Name: Aydyn Kuular

Tuva/the territory of what is now Tuva has been ruled by other major empires throughout his lifetime, ever since the Xiongnu era. (209BC - 93AD) After the Xiongnu, it was the Xianbei, the Rouran Khaganate, the Gokturks, the Tang Dynasty, the Uyghur Empire, the Mongol Empire, the Yuan dynasty, the Northern Yuan, the Khogtoid Khanate and Zunghar Khanate, then the Qing. However during the Qing, Tuva was administered by Mongolia.

Some facts

"Dubo" first appears in Chinese records.

Tuvans then were known as "Dubo" (later pronounced as Tuva but also in other forms they were called Toba/Tuba/Tyva/Dyva/Tofalar). They lived in isolated groups in grass tents, ate lily roots, fish, birds, and animals, and wore clothing made of sable and deerskin. Some of the wealthier individuals had horses, but herding was not common. When someone passed away, they would perform a "sky burial" by placing the deceased in trees.

Ruled by Turkic Empires, the Tang, the Uighur Empire, the Mongols

Reappearance of "Tuba" in the Secret History of the Mongols (The Mongols called Tuvans forest people/put them in the forest people category): 13th and 14th centuries

Conquered by the Khotoghoi Kalkha in the 16th and 17th centuries

Passed into the hands of the Zunghars (Mongolic people but not Chinggisid/Khalkha Mongols) in the 1660s (so Mongolia and Tuva would mald about the Zhungars/Oirats together)

Fall of the Zunghars to the Manchu Qing Dynasty in 1755

Tannu Uriyangkhai organised as an aimag (province) in the 18th century under Mongolian rule

Tuva's adoption of Buddhism in the 18th century

Tuva had 5,000 lamas in 30 monasteries and 1,000 shamans in the 1920s

I think that the Tuva we see today was born during the Tang Dynasty era, and the previous personification of "Tuva" or Tuva's ancestor fell during this time. This is because emperor Taizong of Tang sent troops to get rid of the ethnic minorities of Xue Yanto. Now, Xue Yanto used to be an ancient Khaganate in Northeast Asia who used to be the allies of the Gokturks. The Xue Yantuo was a member of the Tile tribe which belonged to the Turks until 583 when it broke into Western and Eastern branches. However they then allied with the Tang against the Eastern Turks. It was vast and it included (what is now) Tuva in it.

The Xue Yantuo and Tang were friendly for a bit, however it changed in 639 with emperor Taizong's actions, and this is when their relationship began to worsen. Ashina Duobi of the Eastern Turkic Khaganate was captured, and Emperor Taizong placed the surrendered Eastern Turks within the borders of the Tang without appointing a new Khan to manage them. However after Ashina's nephew conspired to rebel against the emperor, he then changed his mind and gave the title of Ashina Simo (Eastern Turkic aristoricrat) to the Tang Dynasty, appointing him as the new Eastern Turkic emperor.

Ashina Simo settled in Dinxiang (now Hohhot, Inner Mongolia) in 641. Yinan, who was the Khan of the Xue Yantuo, saw this as an opportunity to launch an attack on the Eastern Turks before the Tang could assist them. Ashina then asked for urgent assistance from the Tang, and they provided. Afterwards, funnily enough, Yinan sent an envoy to tell emperor Taizong that he was willing to live peacefully with the Eastern Turks (lol trying to save face much?). Emperor Taizong sent an envoy back to criticise Yinan but didn't take any further action against the Xue Yantuo.

Sensing that the relationship between Xue Yantuo and the Tang was turning sour, Yinan tried to amend relationships through tribute and intermarriage, however even then there was issues (Emperor Taizong making excuse after excuse to cancel or postpone Yinans marriage to Princess Xinxing, his daughter). Since then, relationship could not be repaired.

After Yinan died, the Xueyantuo descended into chaos. Two of his sons ruled the Xue Yantuo, Bazhuo ruled the West, and Ye Mang, the East. Bazhuo killed Yemang, and ascended fully to the throne, deciding to attack the Tang. He suspected that the Tang border would be unguarded at the Tang were invading Goguryeo, however Emperor Taizong predicted that this would happen. In 646, Emperor Taizong stationed more troops against Bazhuo's attacks. Bazhuo was defeated in the same year.

Bazhuo was a pretty bad leader, and instead of appointing his father's ministers to assist him, he replaced them with his own cronies, causing disarrest among the nobles and eventually causing a rebellion against him. Huihe, he was a vassal of the Xue Yantuo, was a main rebel against Bazhuo.

Seeing all of this chaos take place, emperor Taizong launched an attack on the Xue Yantuo, and the people of the Xue Yantuo panicked, including Bazhuo, who then fled to the Ashide tribe. Huihe, upon hearing this, killed Bazhuo and the remaining royal family members of the Xue Yantuo. After Huihe took most of Xue Yantuo's territory, most of the people of the Xue Yantuo surrendered to the Tang. However some still did try to hold on, and saw Yinan's nephew Tumozhi as the new Khan of the Xueyantuo. However of course, the Tang did not recognise this, and emperor Taizong sent troops to attack the Xue Yantuo, and Tumozhi surrendered. The Xueyantuo then collapsed. Now, the Tuvans paid tribute to the Tang, and they established a monarch-subject relationship. I don't think Tuva was born as soon as the Xueyantuo collapsed but he was young when he experienced the downfall. He's a similar age to Mongolia.

So, that was my long drawn out explanation of when I think the we see now Tuva was "born".

TL;DR, during the Zhenguan period of the Tang Dynasty (Emperor Taizong period) when the Xue Yantuo confederation was destroyed and when the the territory of Tuva/Tuva paid tribute to the Tang, was an approximate date of when Tuva was "born." I think he most likely emerged a century or so before this as of course he wasn't born as soon as the Xue Yantuo collapsed or something, but he was young when he witnessed it's downfall.

Random fact, but in the Tang Dynasty era book "Tongdian", the Tuvans were described as "skiing hunters", and during the Yuan, the Mongols called them the "forest people"/ put them under the "forest people" category.

Tuva, as I have said before, was conquered pretty easily throughout his lifetime. Skipping to the Mongol Empire era, it was conquered by the Mongols in 1207 by Jochi, Chinggis' eldest son. The Mongols then established suzerainty over them. It was ruled by Khalkha Mongols until the 17th century, when they then were ruled over by the Oirats Mongols and were a part of the Dzungarian state. So, for a long time, Tuva was ruled over by Mongols/Mongolic people. For this reason and because of the many cultural similarities between the two, he feels pretty relaxed around Mongolia. Furthermore, during the Qing, although Tuva was a part of China, it was administered by Outer Mongolia. Tuva used to be a part of Mongolia.

In 1911, Mongolia regained its independence back from the Qing. Some regions of Tuva like Tozhu, Salchak, and Khöwsgöl banners wanted to be part of Mongolia, while only the Tannu banner leader appealed to Russia. In 1914, what is now Tuva became part of Russia due to Russian settlers moving in.

However, in 1914, the Russian empire made Tuva its protectorate and allowed Russians to settle there. However even before then, Russians were already settling down in Tuva in the 19the century. In 1860, the Qing signed a treaty with Russia that Russians were allowed to live in Tuva, as long as it was in boats or tents, however by 1881 they were already living in permanent homes. This was the beginning of the Russian colonisation of Tuva, however 1885 was the year of official colonisation of Tuva when the Governor-General of Irkutsk gave permission to a merchant to farm at present-day Turan. From this, more settlements formed. There were around 2000 merchants and colonists by the first 1910's.

This greatly offended the Tuvans and there would be fights between them and the Russians from time to time.

The Qing weren't oblivious to this and were concerned at first, but eventually, internal problems with the Qing meant they didn't have enough time to focus of Russia creeping in on Tuva.

In the 20th century, Tuva was broke asf, their economy was in shambles and there was an increase of poverty in the region, thanks to Russia. The Qing established a rule that Han traders were not to trade in Tuva, and this rule was actually applied, unlike what happened in outer Mongolia. However, Han traders were then allowed into Tuva to compete against the monopoly the Russians had over there, and eventually, like what happened in outer Mongolia, the Chinese dominated commerce there. Many Tuvans found themselves indebted to Han merchants.

I don't think Tuva is some sort of peeping violet, yes, Tuva was ruled by many empires during his life but he is still a proud person who values freedom, and isn't one to completely just bow down. He is moreso someone who just wants to mind his own business, and if (begrudgingly) paying tribute means he'll be left alone for the most part, he'll take it.

Furthermore during the end of the Qing reign of Tuva, when the Wuchang uprising of October 10th 1911 led to a full scale revolution. Mongolia declared its independence from the Qing in early December, and during the second half of December, the Tuvans plundered many Han owned businesses, calling back before to when I mentioned how Tuvans would fight Russians who settled down in Tuva lol. Tuva definitely isn't one to go down without a fight and is quite fierce-willed despite his quiet exterior and history.

In 1921, pro-Soviet Russians took control during the Russian Civil War, and Tuva became a people's republic. By 1926, it had a population of around 58,117 Tuvans and 12,000 Russian settlers. Initially, Mongolian was the official language, and Tuva wanted union with Mongolia, but Mongolia, under pressure, recognised Tuvan independence in 1926.

Explaining Tuvan independence further, jumping back to when I said the Russians declared Tuva as its protectorate in 1914, the new communist Russian government of 1921 declared that this was invalid, so technically, Tuva was an independent state (under very heavy Russian influence/was essentially a puppet state.)

From 1930-31, Tuva underwent changes, including the introduction of a new Latin script for Tuvan. However, attempts at collectivization failed, and pro-Mongolian Tuvan politicians faced execution.

During World War II, Tuvans were conscripted into the Soviet Red Army, and in 1944, the Soviet Union annexed Tuva as an autonomous region within the Russian Soviet Federated Socialist Republic, .allowing Russians to enter Tuva to work in mines and factories. A Cyrillic script for Tuvan was introduced in 1943, and collectivization continued until 1954.

In 1961, Tuva became an Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic within the RSFSR. The percentage of ethnic Tuvans increased over the years. After the Soviet Union's dissolution, Tuva became a constituent republic of the Russian Federation. In 1989, there were 198,448 ethnic Tuvans, making up 64 percent of the republic's population, and border transit points with Mongolia were opened, though issues like livestock theft and unauthorised pasturing persisted.

Because of Russian colonisation, the identity of the Tuvan people was hurt greatly. Before, they were able to freely live as nomads, hunt, practice shamanism, use their traditional medicines. But after Russian colonisation, forced assimilation, forced settlements, the Tuvan identity was scarred. Despite this, Tuvans resisted full Russification.

Russia kept Tuva closed off from the outside world for nearly 50 years. Even now, Tuva is remote and difficult to access, and is one of Russia's poorest regions. This is why Tuva comes off as closed off/aloof.

Tuva does feel a bit on edge when interacting with other nations who he doesn't feel close to, primarily because of the period of isolation he was put through under the Russians, and he can come off as a bit aloof. He's quite friendly really and he does want to make more friends, he just finds it hard to trust people. For this reason he's lucky he has a cute face to make up for the moody exterior.

He also talks to Yakutia/Sakha about whatever, their conversations are not usually that deep though.

Tuva is trying hard to reclaim his national identity, for example, after the fall of the soviet Union, ethnic Tuvans living in Tuva went up from two-thirds to three-quarters of the population. He's extremely keen on having the lowest amount of contact with Russia possible outside of what's necessary lol.

He probably blasts Huun-Huur Tu and Sainkho Namtchylak.

He and Mongolia, despite their familiarity with one another, do have a bit of a... Rivalry going on about where throat singing originated and who's better haha.

Anyways that's my Tuva. His name is Aydyn Kuular and overall personality wise he is:

Seemingly quiet/aloof

On the inside, quite fierce willed

Very much "I mind my own business, you mind yours."

Is actually quite warm once you get to know him but it's hard for people to get to that point

Avid music lover and is always composing something new!

Tries to reach out to others the best he can

Not a fan of Russia or China

Has his own little projects, doesn't tell a lot of people about them though

do you know what a skull cup is?

it's what it sounds like. the top part of the skull, turned into a cup.

i saw one in a shop once. the skull cup in question belonged to a tibetan high lama.

many cultures had them, and they were typically used by the very high status. many kings and warlords, in japan and most appealingly to me, rulers of nomadic tribes of the steppe, had them. these skulls were often of defeated enemies. in buddhism some high lamas and rinpoches had them. the owner of the skull wasn't important. it was a statement on mortality; that everyone has it and it is before all of us.

i won't include a photo here

fandom and personal stuff under the cut

imagine michael schumacher as a king. surely he'd have a skull cup, perhaps lacquered in gold. it doesn't make much sense because in europe skull cups were used by steppe tribes and celts, but not teutons. but it would be perfect and go with all the feathered collars he liked to wear, and the dragon imagery.

mick gave lewis one of his helmets when lewis broke one of msc's records. almost like the son of a defeated king handing the crown over, or perhaps his head.

right now i'm looking through the available scholarships. there aren't that many which apply to me, out of hundreds. though there are some really interesting ones, such as funding for phds to study a kind of snake, phd funding for machine vision.

i'm also applying for part time jobs for next year in case i stay. i would like to write my thesis, but i have no idea what it should be on. i'm afraid it might just blow up in my face.

Essential Tips for Traveling to Tibet

Tibet's history is a rich tapestry woven with threads of spirituality, lifestyle, politics, and resilience. Situated on the high-altitude Tibetan Plateau, Tibet is one of the world's most unique and captivating regions, boasting a history spanning thousands of years. From ancient kingdoms and empires to its complex relationship with neighboring powers, Tibet's history is as fascinating as it is complex.

Ancient Tibet: Nomadic tribes likely populated Tibet around 4,000 years ago, roaming the vast grasslands of the plateau. These tribes eventually formed a unified Tibetan identity, with the emergence of the Yarlung Dynasty in the fifth century CE marking the beginning of recorded Tibetan history.

Under the rule of King Songtsen Gampo in the 7th century, Tibet expanded its territory, established diplomatic ties with neighboring kingdoms, and adopted Buddhism as the state religion.

Tibetan Buddhism: Tibet's history is deeply influenced by Buddhism, introduced by Padmasambhava in the 8th century. Over time, Tibetan Buddhism became intertwined with Tibetan identity, shaping art, architecture, governance, and daily life.

The Rise of Lamas and Monastic Institutions: Tibetan Buddhism's rise saw the emergence of powerful religious leaders known as lamas, who exerted influence over religious and secular affairs. Monastic institutions, like Samye and Jokhang, became centers of learning, art, and governance, shaping Tibetan society and culture.

The Mongol and Yuan Dynasties: In the 13th century, Tibet fell under the influence of the Mongol Empire, forging alliances with Tibetan lamas. This period also saw the establishment of the Yuan Dynasty in China, further shaping Tibet's political landscape.

The Dalai Lama and the Ganden Phodrang Government: The 17th century saw the rise of the Dalai Lama as a spiritual and political leader. The Great Fifth Dalai Lama unified Tibet under the Ganden Phodrang government, bringing relative stability and prosperity.

Chinese Influence and Occupation: Tibet's relationship with China has been complex, with intermittent periods of Chinese influence. In 1950, China invaded Tibet, leading to the forced incorporation of Tibet into the People's Republic of China.

Tibetan Resistance and Exile: Despite Chinese repression, Tibetans continue to resist Chinese rule. The Tibetan independence movement, led by the Dalai Lama, remains a powerful force. Tibetan refugees, including the Dalai Lama, have established communities abroad, preserving Tibetan culture.

Things to consider before going to Tibet: Before visiting Tibet, it's crucial to understand permits, altitude sickness, packing essentials, and respecting local culture. Obtaining permits and acclimatizing to high altitudes are essential. Proper packing, cultural etiquette, and exploring must-see attractions enhance the travel experience.

Best places to visit in Tibet: Tibet offers breathtaking landscapes and cultural treasures. Lhasa, Potala Palace, Jokhang Temple, Namtso Lake, Mount Everest Base Camp, Tashilhunpo Monastery, and Yamdrok Lake are must-visit destinations.

Best time to visit Tibet: Spring and autumn are ideal for visiting Tibet due to mild weather and vibrant landscapes. Summer is also popular, despite occasional rainfall. Winter offers fewer crowds but colder temperatures.

Conclusion: Traveling to Tibet offers adventure, spiritual enlightenment, and cultural discovery. Whether drawn to landscapes, cultural heritage, or spiritual traditions, Tibet promises an unforgettable experience. So pack your bags, embark on your journey, and prepare to be enchanted by the magic of Tibet.

[bellitenzin]

This is the story of sovereign Tibet. That existed sometime in the distant past. An extraordinary nation brutally invaded by china. How did that occur? Come, let's try to understand it in this article. In the early archaic period, the Tibetan were aggressive warlike people, who struck fear in the hearts of their foes. Tibet was not always a land of smiling monks. It was a powerful country, loaded with experiences. Early Tibetans were forceful individuals. The Assault framed a significant piece of the neighbourhood economy. The Tibetan tribe made their home in the fertile valley of plateau and built castles on the rocky slopes. Consistent inter clan's battle characterised the political landscape. However, everything changes with the appearance of king Namri Songtsen. King Namri belonged to the Yarlung dynasty from southern Tibet and was something more than a typical faction tribal leader. He was descended from long existences of kings with divine mandate to rule. He built strong alliances with other clan leaders and eventually came up against his main rival, a charismatic chieftain known as lord Zinkpo who himself forged a broad alliance. After numerous battles, king Namri prevailed, he absorbed lord zingpo’s territories. By the end of Namri reign, he expanded his domain over the central and southern regions, the Tibetan heartland. But the victory was a fragile thing.

King Namri was assassinated by poison and his son King Songzen Gompo took the throne at just 13 years of age .The new young lord had to find a sense of peace with power and issues he had acquired. But King Songtsen was more than ready for the challenge. Upon ascending the throne, King Songtsen captured the traitor who poisoned his father and had him executed. Then immediately put down the rebellion subsequent to laying out homegrown requests, he rode west to subdue a hostile army causing trouble at the Tibetan border. Now an adult, it was time for King Songtsen to build a true empire. There were still more lands to conquer, Zahangjung, Aja & Nepal. As long as these buffer kingdoms remained, Tibet could not become a truly influential power in the region. For beyond these three kingdoms lay even greater opportunity. Whereas his father had been content to forge alliances with neighbouring kingdoms, king Songtsen had greater ambitions. He aimed to conquer them instead.

Alongside prime minister Ghai Thongtsen, King Songtsen had numerous successful battles. Nepal offers princess Bhirkuti and China offers princess Wincheg to keep peace with Tibet. After uniting all the provinces of Tibet i.e U-tsang, Amdo & Kham, King Songtsen died in the year 650 CE. Since his son had already died after just putting on the throne for a time and his grandson was just 3 years of age. Prime minister Ghar Thongtsen stepped in to serve his region. Ghar Thongtsen had a power and a freedom to mould the Tibetan empire to his vision. But Ghar was a very impressive leader. He was naturally wise, resolute, strict and honourable. A brave warrior and skillful general, making him a most successful regent. His ambition matched those of the deceased emperor. Ghar Thongtsen crushed many other regions. Ghar Thongtsen finally died in 667 CE. King Songtsen Gompo is credited as the founder of the Tibetan empire. There were numerous border disputes between China and Tibet in between thereafter.

Fast forward to the year 1912, a major revolution happened in China, where the Qing Dynasty ended and the Xinhai Revolution took place in China and the Republic of China was born. Meanwhile, all the Chinese troops were thrown out of Lhasa. Then his holiness the 13th Dalai Lama said, “we are a small religious, and independent nation.” Clearly emphasising the independence of Tibet. Be that as it may, the Chinese newly formed government never acknowledged Tibet’s sovereignty. China still wanted to continue asserting its influence. The new Chinese government also claimed Tibet. The British had to get involved to settle this dispute. The British requested them to come to shimla and have a conference and get to a resolution. The conference was held in 1914, representatives of Britain , China, and Tibet came together, but couldn't reach any conclusion. China did not sign the Shimla convention yet the English and Tibet unquestionably did .Over the course of the following forty years, Tibet keeps on being a free country. Completely free and autonomous. Between 1912 and 1950, there were no foreign influences.

Everything was calm and people were peacefully living in Tibet. But then came a big twist in 1949. Under Mao Zedong, the communist revolution was seen in China. The ROC government was pushed to Taiwan. And the People’s Republic of China was born, PRC. Mao Zedong's People's Liberation Army defeated ROC’s army. And the China that we know today, was born. Mio Zedong threatens Tibet that he will liberate Tibet and integrate it with the Motherland. In 1950, a declaration was made on Radio Beijing. “ The task of the people’s liberation army for 1950 is to liberate Tibet.” Where liberation means occupation. Mio restored China's old supreme aspirations to force its power on Tibet and to force the Tibetan authorities to admit that the chineses forces marching upon their country were not an army of conquers but an army of liberation from western colonialism. Mio was a staunch communist. He was strictly against all religions. He wanted no religion nor any hierarchies.

Peltier, an enrolled member of the Turtle Mountain Chippewa tribe and of Lakota and Dakota descent, was convicted of murdering two FBI agents during a shootout on the Pine Ridge reservation in South Dakota in June 1975. Peltier was a leader of the American Indian Movement (Aim), an Indigenous civil rights movement founded in Minneapolis that was infiltrated and repressed by the FBI.

The 1977 murder trial – and subsequent parole hearings – were rife with irregularities and due process violations including evidence that the FBI had coerced witnesses, withheld and falsified evidence. Amnesty International, UN experts, Nelson Mandela, the Dalai Lama and the Rev Jesse Jackson are among those to have condemned his prolonged detention as arbitrary and politically motivated and called for his release.

Peltier, who is currently detained in Coleman, Florida, has spent 46 of the past 47 years in maximum security. Multiple recommendations to lower his prisoner classification, so that he can be transferred to a less restrictive prison closer to his family, have been rejected.

Life inside for Peltier has got even harder and more lonely since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic with frequent and unpredictable lockdowns, limited access to medical care and virtually no access to the phone, computers or the art room – where Peltier would spend much of his time painting and writing.

The Naulu and Huaulu Tribes and The Modernization

Kali ini kita akan mengenal suku pedalaman yaitu suku naulu di pedalaman maluku, meskipuin beberapa daerah sudah ckup berkembang ternyata maluku masih menyimpan berbagai suku yang ckup tradisional disana, Suku Huaulu yang tinggal di wilayah utara Pulau Seram dan Suku Naulu yang menempati wilayah pesisir Selatan Pulau Seram.

Sejarah Suku Naulu

Suku Naulu dan Suku Huaulu sebenarnya masih berada dari satu nenek moyang. Konon, pada jaman dahulu mereka berasal dari satu ayah dengan ibu yang berbeda. Karena permasalahan adat, maka keduanya dipisahkan dengan tujuan satu ke utara dan lainnyaDan selatan. Sejak itu, kedua suku ini berkembang pesat menjadi Naulu dan Huaulu. Kekerabatan mereka tidak hanya ada di cerita, namun juga nampak dari beberapa tradisi mereka yang memiliki kesamaan, termasuk kain merah yang disebut kain Berang yang wajib dipakai oleh setiap laki-laki dewasa dalam suku.

Tradisi Suku Naulu Dan Modernisasi Masa Kini

Tradisi Suku Naulu Dan Modernisasi Masa Kini

Perbedaan suku Naulu dan Huaulu

Salah satu yang paling menonjol di antara kedua suku ini adalah Suku Naulu. Suku ini hidup di Selatan pulau Seram, tepatnya di dua Negeri atau dusun Sepa dan Nuanea. Dusun Sepa memiliki lokasi yang lebih dekat dengan kehidupan modern, sehingga Suku Naulu yang hidup di dusun ini cenderung lebih modern dan lebih maju dalam pembangunan dusunnya. Untuk diketahui, Dusun Sepa memiliki 5 pemukiman yaitu Bonara, Naulu Lama, Hauwalan, Yalahatan, dan Rohua.

Tradisi Suku Naulu

Suku Naulu memiliki beberapa tradisi yang unik dan cukup menyeramkan untuk diterapkan dalam kehidupan modern. Salah satu yang paling terkenal adalah tradisi memenggal kepala sebagai ritual dalam beberapa upacara adat yang mereka miliki. Salah satunya adalah upacara mendirikan rumah adat baru dimana mereka membutuhkan tengkorak kepala manusia sebagai ritual persembahan pada dewa. Selain itu, pemenggalan kepala ini merupakan sebuah tanda kedewasaan dari para kaum pria Naulu. Pada masa lalu, seorang anak laki-laki harus menyerahkan sebuah kepala terpenggal kepada warga desa sebagai bukti bahwa ia sudah dewasa. Namun, tradisi ini sudah terlarang secara hukum untuk dilakukan sejak terjadinya tragedi kriminal di tahun 2005 yang berlatar belakang tradisi ini. Tradisi lainnya yang masih bertahan adalah pengucilan wanita yang pertama haid dan akan melahirkan. Suku Naulu menyediakan sebuah bilik berukuran 2×2 meter yang bernama Tikusune. Bilik ini berfungsi sebagai tempat mengasingkan diri bagi kaum Hawa yang akan melahirkan atau mendapat menstruasi pertamanya. Biasanya, wanita yang akan melahirkan dan mendapat haid pertama akan secara otomatis lengasingkan diri dari keluarganya dan menempati bilik Tikusune hingga selesai masa haid dan telah melahirkan. Setelah masa tersebut dilewati, kemudian mereka akan kembali ke rumah masing-masing dan keluarganya mengadakan pesta bagi kembalinya mereka ke keluarga.

Kepercayaan Suku Naulu Dan Huaulu

Dalam hal kepercayaan, Suku Naulu mempercayai adanya pencipta yang disebut Upu Kuanahatana. Sistem kepercayaan ini sebenarnya merupakan bagian dari animisme yang percaya pada kekuatan-kekuatan roh nenek moyang. Mereka percaya bahwa roh-roh ini punya pengaruh besar dalam kehidupan manusia, sehingga layak untuk mereka sembah dan puja. Namun, dalam kependudukan Indonesia yang modern, kepercayaan Naulu ini dianggap sebagai Agama Hindu. Suku Naulu adalah sepenggal contoh dari sekian ribu suku yang terdapat di Nusantara. Kebudayaan ini merupakan sebuah kekayaan Indonesia yang harus dijaga bersama. Selain dijaga, kebudayaan ini harus tetap dikembangkan sehingga tetap mampu bertahan di antara terpaan budaya modern yang sangat deras. Paling tidak, generasi masa depan tetap mengenal adanya satu suku asli Maluku yang bernama Naulu. DW Sumber : indonesiakaya.com This time we will get to know the interior tribes, namely the Naulu tribe in the interior of Maluku, although some areas are already quite developed, it turns out that Maluku still has various fairly traditional tribes there, the Huaulu Tribe who lives in the northern area of ​​Seram Island and the Naulu Tribe who occupies the southern coast of Seram Island. .

The Naulu and Huaulu Tribes and Modernization in It

History of the Naulu Tribe

The Naulu Tribe and the Huaulu Tribe are actually still from one ancestor. It is said that in ancient times they came from the same father with different mothers. Due to customary problems, the two were separated with the aim of one to the north and the other and the south. Since then, these two tribes have developed rapidly into Naulu and Huaulu. Their kinship is not only found in the story, but also can be seen from some of their traditions that have something in common, including a red cloth called the Berang cloth which must be worn by every adult male in the tribe.

Difference between Naulu and Huaulu suku

One of the most prominent of these two tribes is the Naulu Tribe. This tribe lives in the south of the island of Seram, precisely in two countries or the hamlets of Sepa and Nuanea. Dusun Sepa has a location that is closer to modern life, so the Naulu Tribe who live in this hamlet tend to be more modern and more advanced in the development of their hamlet. To note, Dusun Sepa has 5 settlements namely Bonara, Naulu Lama, Hauwalan, Yalahatan, and Rohua.

Naulu Tribe Tradition

The Naulu tribe has some unique and scary traditions to apply in modern life. One of the most famous is the tradition of beheading as a ritual in some of their traditional ceremonies. One of them is the ceremony of establishing a new traditional house where they need a human skull as a ritual offering to the gods. In addition, this beheading is a sign of maturity of the Naulu men. In the past, a boy had to hand over a severed head to the villagers as proof that he was an adult. However, this tradition has been legally forbidden to carry out since the criminal tragedy in 2005 against the background of this tradition. Another tradition that still survives is the exclusion of women who are menstruating for the first time and are about to give birth. The Naulu tribe provides a 2×2 meter room called Tikusune. This room serves as a place of seclusion for women who are about to give birth or get their first menstruation. Usually, a woman who is about to give birth and gets her first period will automatically seclude herself from her family and occupy the Tikusune booth until her menstrual period is complete and has givenSumber birth. After that period has passed, then they will return to their respective homes and their families have a party for their return to their families.

Beliefs of the Naulu and Huaulu Tribes

In terms of belief, the Naulu Tribe believes in a creator called Upu Kuanahatana. This belief system is actually part of animism which believes in the powers of ancestral spirits. They believe that these spirits have a great influence on people's lives, so they are worthy of worship and worship. However, in the modern Indonesian population, this Naulu belief is considered Hinduism. The Naulu tribe is an example of the thousands of tribes in the archipelago. This culture is a wealth of Indonesia that must be protected together. Apart from being protected, this culture must be developed so that it can survive in the midst of a very heavy modern culture. At the very least, future generations will still recognize the existence of a native Maluku tribe named Naulu. DW Soruce : indonesiakaya.com Read the full article
