Great nation is a nation that understands and has insight about the nation itself, including in terms of culture. It is difficult to memorize the many cultures that exist in a country known by the multicultural and multi-ethnic, but it is what makes Indonesia in the know on the world stage.
In this article I will try to share their insights about a tribe that is often called the SPARE CHILDREN IN by residents of my area of JAMBI , but some people more frequently call it by SPARE stronghold , or PEOPLE jungle .
INTEREST IN CHILDREN (The Jungle)
Spare the child in a majority of the population living in rural hutam jungle, so it is not wrong if some people call it The Jungle. Tribe is a tribal and a few articles mention the tribe is only found in forest pedalam Jambi and South Sumatra Province. Since I came from Jambi province, but I am not including the interest of children in Lhooo .. we will discuss the existing rate of children in the surrounding province of which this Batanghari river flowed.
Broadly speaking Tribe Child in Jambi live in 3 different ecological regions, namely the People faction in the north province of Jambi (surrounding the Park Hill 30), Park Hill 12, and the southern province of Jambi (Sumatra along the causeway). They live a nomadic or move to move from one forest and other Forestry basing his life on hunting and gathering, although many of them now have a rubber and other agricultural land.
According to oral traditions that circulate in the community today, even many articles written about the Tribe Child, that children in the tribe are descended from people who ran Forestry astray Malau region surrounding the Black Water, the Park Hill 12, County Sarolangun Bangko, then they are called " Segayo Ancestors. "
According to Van Dongen (1906) in Tempo (2002:71) mentions that The Jungle as a primitive people who are still very low level of ability and non-religious. In connection with the outside world practice the silent jungle city People trade their conduct transactions by hiding in the woods and to barter, they put it on the edge of the forest, then people will pick up and exchange it wither. Gongongan dog is a sign of the goods have been exchanged.
Likewise Bernard Hagen (1908) in Tempo (2002:71) (die man auf Sumatra stronghold) states The Wilderness as a person who is a pre-Malay natives of Sumatra as well as Paul said that the Wilderness Bescrta all with proto malay (melayu old) Cement is in Malay njung pressured by the arrival of a young Malay.
Well do not you know that "Child Within" is also a term that they themselves enjoy, and they were very angry at being called the Kubu, as it was considered demeaning themselves. In a conversation among citizens about the Kubu jambi reflected in terms of expression of someone who shows the position and ignorance, such as littering diumpat "Kubu you ....!". Other title favored by the jungle is "relative", ie how to call someone who did not know and rarely met. When you get to see the close calls are "NCO" which means friend. (Soetomo, 1995:58)
Hemm .. But the existence of tribal child in now increasingly concern, because of illegal logging and the limited area the tribe lives of children in making their experience a little culture clash with some provision JAMBI tertama who live in the Edge of palm forests and open land. RATE IN CHILDREN sometimes disturbing, because they menggap palm farmers that are destructive, and sometimes they are being friendly to work in palm plantations owned by local residents.
Their empowerment is expected, by increasing their capacity for education and employment can mengeyam that match their skills, because they are precious cultural archives belonging to Indonesia already supposed to be noticed ..
Hemm, hopefully this article useful to us all, and we will broaden the cultural diversity of this nation .. Amen.
