TEXT 1 (BADUI PEOPLE)
Little more than three hours away from Jakarta there is a traditional
community that has turned their back away from modern technology. They don’t
own phones, use the Internet, wear shoes or listen to the radio. Living in voluntary
isolation, they are a secretive group who turn away outsiders. This group lives close
to the city of Banten and they are known as the
Baduy people.
Generally, the Baduy are divided into two groups: the Baduy Dalam and
the Baduy Luar. The Baduy Luar act as a buffer zone to stop visitors from entering
the Sacred Inner circle, the Baduy Dalam. Even though both groups are barefoot, t
is so easy to differentiate them. Baduy Dalam wear white and black cloth as
clothing, meanwhile Baduy Luar wear black and other colors of clothing just like us.
Some people say that the black cloth the Baduy Luar people wear is an indication
that they are not pure anymore, that they are breaking some rules of the
community, such as their willingness to accept modern influence into their daily
lives.
Right after we go into the outermost village of Baduy called Kaduketu, we
can sense a different atmosphere straight away. We can see middle-aged women
walking around with a log over their shoulder and kids chasing each other with big
smiles on their face. Traditional Baduy houses in Kaduketu are made of bamboo
that is bound with rattan wood. It is impossible to find a concrete house inside
Baduy territory.
With many great views and fresh air, Baduy offers a lot of things for us
to explore. You can take a bath down the river or simply walk around, observing
the interesting Baduy’s daily life. The Baduy relies on farming to meet their daily
needs. During harvest season, they will keep their paddy into the barnthat is
called ‘leuit’. Leuit is usually located quite far from the settlement, keeping the
paddy safe if any disaster happens in their living space.
Electronic devices are banned inside Baduy Dalam. Hence, it is
prohibited to take photographs. “There are lots of stories about tourists who
forced to take a shot but they were followed by bad lucks afterwards. Their
camera fell down the hill or into the river,” said Jaka, a Baduy Luar native.
If we’re thinking about what to do when we come here, then we need
not worry because there are lots on offer, like enjoying the true relaxing times
and the feeling of being isolated from modern technology and man-made things.
One favorite thing to do might be observing communal life in the settlement. It is
a very relaxing experience and sometimes visitors find themselves missing the
simplicity and beauty of the place.

TEXT 2 (ANAK DALAM TRIBE)
Anak Dalam tribe or Orang Rimba is one of minority tribes who live
on the island of Sumatra precisely in the province of Jambi and South
Sumatra. History says they came from Pagaruyung, who fled to Jambi. This
has reinforced the fact that indigenous tribes have a common ancestor in the
language and customs of the tribe of Minangkabau, such as the matrilineal
system.
The majority people of Anak Dalam tribe live in Jambi province, with
an estimated population of about 200,000 people. They live in 3 different
ecological regions, namely people in the northern stronghold of Jambi
province, in Bukit Tigapuluh national park, and in the south province of Jambi.
They are nomadic and live their life based on hunting and gathering,
although many of them now have agricultural land. Once a week, people
from Anak Dalam tribe usually walk in the night to reach the village in Palm
Oil plantations in Bukit Duabelas. At this occasion, they come out from the
jungle and go to the village market to buy some things and to sell their catch
of fish. Some people of Anak Dalam tribe already live in modernity but the
oldest ones still live deep inside the forest and still try to follow a nomadic life
and subsist on what they hunt and gather from forests.
