The Minahasa Asul Usul


Author: Ryker Marvyn




Indonesian, North Sulawesi, Manado. Native tribes there is Minahasa, and from which the original ancestor Minahasa tribe? according to the story of myth, the story is pure myth, sacred and not in any describe. Fathers tribe is Minahasa Dewi Dewa Earth and the sun finally delivered offspring Minahasa, the story is told in the local language and who know only the Walian which is appointed by opo generation - generations. Usually this story told in general at the time of the ceremony Rumages, a story Toar Lumimu'ut. Toar sun god who is always brighten and Minahasa Lumimu'ut Earth Goddess who gives fertility to the land and the descendants of Minahasa.


Following a short story about the myth Minahasa I can tell the story as more information is confidential and only describe the charge of heredity. Due to be told if there will be a lot of questions that will be difficult for example, described further on this Earth Goddess native language Astoreth in the Bible. Sayapun can only be told about any such myths.


Then the ancestors of Minahasa in the beginning of the beginning? if the story based on facts?. From opinion Tandean, an expert in language and letter Ancient China, in 1997 came examine Watu Pinawetengan. Through any posts "Min Nan tou" is there in the stone, he said, tou Minahasa King Ming is derived from the land of Mongolia came to berimigrasi Minahasa. Meaning of Min Nan tou are "the descendants of the Sun King of the island. But strange also known as Ming Dynasty Mongolia are not exactly the Ming Dynasty that the Yuan Dynasty, led the nation Mongols, by Kubilai Khan.


Based on the opinions of experts, among ALC Baekman and MB Van Der Jack is derived from the same race Mongolscheplooi tie with Japan and the Mongols is memiki lipit Mongolia. Indeed, the people familiar with the Mongols lifestyle, fight with the 1 / 2 when the world is led by Genghis Khan, Mongol and the nation does not spread except to go to Manado. Equality with the Mongols in the system of belief can be seen in the original religion Minahasa Shamanism as Mongols. And also led by Walian who directly entered by opo. Shamanism is the religion held firm on from generation to generation by Mongol tribes. Can be seen also in Kalimantan Dayak, and Korea.


However, the Minahasa people is not purely from the Mongols alone, but is a mixture of Spanish, Portuguese, Dutch, and known to be descendants of Jews, but more influenced by Christianity. The actual original Minahasa from the Mongols, the intensity of war, and with the famous Jewish kecerdasannya. Indeed, as a Dutch Jew who go to India only up 1 place of worship in Indonesia, please see the synagogues in Tondano




As we know Manado in Indonesia the process spelled out by foreign nations because very spoiled by the Netherlands and partners. And the very different characteristics with the Indonesian people in general.

Minahasa tribe divided into nine subsuku:

Babontehu

Bantik

Pasan Ratahan (Tounpakewa)

Ponosakan

Tonsea

Tontemboan

Toulour

Tonsawang

Tombulu



Minahasa contain the name of a noble from the ancestors through musyarawarah with the pledge that all Minahasa tou and his descendants will always be harmonious in the spirit of cultural Tumou tou Sitou Timou. In other words tou Minahasa will remain united (maesa) wherever he is based with the nature maesa-esaan (mutual united, harmonious), Maleo-leosan (mutual love and pity), magenang-pool (remember each other), malinga-lingaan ( hear each other), masawang-Sawangan (mutual help) and matombo-tomboloan (contradict each other). This is the foundation of unity tou Minahasa from which all values of cultural traditions native Minahasa (Richard Leirissa, Human Minahasa, 1995).


So even though people have Minahasa anywhere in the end will come back together and, at that time will occur at the end of the era, which no one who can. As opo Karema once the mandate for "the offspring of you will live separately by mountains and jungle. However, there will be a willingness to remain united and successful."
