The Minahasa Asul Usul

The Minahasa Asul Usul

Lambang Minahasa

Indonesia, North Sulawesi, Manado. Native tribes there is Minahasa, and from which the original ancestor Minahasa tribe? according to the story of myth, myth is a sacred story, sacred and do not in any describe. Minahasa tribe ancestor is the Earth Goddess and the god of the sun bear offspring Minahasa, the story is told in the local language and who know only the Walian which is appointed by opo generation - generation. This story is usually told in general at the time of the ceremony Rumages, a story Toar Lumimu'ut. Toar sun god who always brighten and Minahasa Lumimu'ut Earth Goddess who gives fertility to the land of Minahasa and offspring.

Following a short story about Myth Minahasa I can tell the story as more information is confidential and only tell just in the heredity. Because if you told a lot going akan akan difficult questions that are described further, for example Earth Goddess on this native language Astoreth in the Bible. Sayapun can only be told about any such myths.

Then the ancestors of Minahasa at the beginning of the beginning? if the story based on fact?. 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 berimigrasi come to Minahasa. Meaning of Min Nan tou are "the descendants of the Sun King of the island. But strange as also known Ming Dynasty are not exactly Mongolia Ming Dynasty is a change that led Yuan Dynasty Mongol nation, by Kubilai Khan.

Based on the opinions of experts, among ALC Baekman and MB Van Der Jack that is derived from the same race Mongolscheplooi correlation with the Japanese and Mongolian is memiki lipit Mongolia. Indeed, the people familiar with the Mongolian way of life, fight with the 1 / 2 the time led by Genghis Khan, Mongol nation and does not spread except to go to Manado. Similarities with the Mongols in the system of belief can be seen on the original religion Minahasa as Mongolian Shamanism. And also led by a directly Walian entered by opo.Shamanism is the religion held firm in heredity by Mongol tribes. Can be seen also in Kalimantan Dayak, and Korea.

However, the Minahasa people are not just purely from the Mongols, but it 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 it spoiled by the Dutch and partners. And the very different characteristics with the Indonesian people in general.
Minahasa tribe divided into nine subsuku:

  1. Babontehu
  2. Bantik
  3. Pasan Ratahan (Tounpakewa)
  4. Ponosakan
  5. Tonsea
  6. Tontemboan
  7. Toulour
  8. Tonsawang
  9. 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 Sitou Timou Tumou tou. In other words tou Minahasa akan stick together (maesa) wherever he is based with the nature maesa-esaan (mutually united, unanimous), 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 native cultural traditions 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 had the mandate for "the offspring of you will live separate by mountains and jungle. However, the willingness to remain united and successful."

These forces make the Prince Diponegoro finally "together" with the Netherlands on 28 March 1830.

As I quoted from the book Jessy Wenas, 2007, History and Culture Minahasa, pp. 51:

"But now Resident Netherlands Minahasa DEWPietermaat requested to help the Netherlands to fight in the P. Java. Minahasa forces called Tulungan (Tulong bantu = I), but better known as the warrior Manado, formed after the signing of the contract dated 23 December 1927. Minahasa diwaliki Abraham Dotulong and J.

TOAR AND LUMIMUUT

Version: Aneke Sumarauw Pangkerego
In ancient times, on the west coast Pengunungan Wulur Mahatus coral reefs, there is a good shape. Coral reefs is not dihiraukan people because there are not people in surrounding areas.
Dimusim when a drought, so the sun light so that the sting out of the rocks of sweat. At that time also, terciptalah a woman beautiful. Karema name, while he stood menadahkan hands to heaven and prayed, "O, Kasuruan opo e wailan wangko." Means "Oh God the very large, if You wish, nyatakanlah where I was and give it friend for life."
Once finished the prayer, itupun rock split into two and mencullah a beautiful woman. Karema no longer own. He said to the woman, "Because you are a stone's sweat, you kuberi name Lumimuut., Your descendants will live long into the future and grow in beach sand as the sea, however, you must work hard squeeze sweat."
On one day, told Karema beautiful daughter who is handsome south facing and so that it gives the offspring of pregnant. Lumimuut also carry the mother's, but it does not happen anything, Because the south is not successful, Lumimuut been mengadap to the east, west, and north. This very day didak bring results.
Then the ceremony is held again. Lumimuut are facing towards the west are gale blow. The long run, after the ceremony finished, the body becomes Lumimuut others. In fact Lumimuut already pregnant.
During pregnancy, Lumimuut always kept and treated with loving by Karema.When the time comes, Lumimuut any child birth to men who are named Toar.Toar also be given the knowledge and ability as the Karema.
Growth toar body very quickly. Body form large, strong, sturdy, and strong. In the forest wilderness, Toar not and can not be scared by ditaklukkan Anoa, pig deer, and snakes.
After Toar adults, said Karema to Toar and Lumimuut, "Now is time for you both roam circumnavigate the world. I have provided two rods same length. Toar stick to the tree of tuis and stick to Lumimuut made from tree tawaang. If later in the odyssey, you meet someone with both men and women bring a stick like this, bandingkanlah stick with you. If you stick the same length, it means you are still bound to the family. However, if the stick is different and no longer the same length, you can form a household. Hopefully this happens and you will produce offspring. The offspring of you will live separate by mountains and jungle. However, it will have the will to remain united and successful. "
Nuwu (mandate) Karema a stock for Lumimuut and Toar in their odyssey.Mountain, hill and valley, and mounting them hope they lalui. Toar to the north and south Lumimuut. Tuis in the hands of Toar grow long, but tawaang remain in the hands of Lumimuut as usual,
On a full moon night, in the middle of the shine off moonshine, bertemulah Toar with Lumimuut. Appropriate mandate Karema, They compare each rod. In fact, they do not stick together again so that the long marriage ceremony was performed. Stars and moon as witnesses. Tor the implementation of the ceremony looked like a ball of gold. Mount it and then called Lolombulan.
After the wedding ceremony, they also find Karema. However, it was not found.Then, they settled in the mountains a lot of bamboo ditumbuhi tui (small bamboo). Therein they have children and grandchildren. For the descendants of children, twin-nine (semakarua siyouw), two times nine. Birth of offspring was always the sound of whistling birds greeted wala (doyot) as a reliable landmark to obtain the gift of generosity and blessing.
Conclusion:
This story can be classified in the legend. Many of the Minahasa consider this as a story of truth even if to prove the truth is almost impossible. Moral message of the story is we should remember the advice of parents. In addition, although we fair or brave youth, kendaklah we always work hard to be worthy of living.

Sorenya approximately 2 hours before George Bush board feet in Indonesia, the indigenous group of troops BM beringsut toward a particular location, such as instructions in the Watu Pinawentengan, namely, Waruga, Sawangan Minahasa Utara.

TOADA AND LRUMIMUUTU

Legend Toar and Lumimuut together as we know, a lot of diversity of meetings and events tuturan marriage between Toar and Lumimuut. Even up to now are very contradictory, rancu, and buzz about acceptance among ethnic and indigenous Minahasa, especially concerning the "child marries mama." However, based on the version tuturan Bantik valid, was not found or known term "Child marries mama" in the relationship Toar and Lumimuut as often found in any posts / tuturan others. (JA Koapaha, 2006).

Once the events, which have submerged land Ponaedan sea water covered the overflow (flood) so that all residents and suffocate the souls (spirits) of those who have died is to be god-part god is good and some others become devils Satan is evil. (Ponaedan the expression Koapaha JA, 2006, which is Pamaedan in place means Bantik seka-feet (mat) the gods Kayangan.

Perhaps the whole earth was submerged in the flood stricken, land only on the remaining Ponaedan a tandusan (delta). Tandusan above, there is a large stone, and a Descend Empung called KADEMA from "Kalrutuang" (heaven /paradise), standing on a stone is large, with the kesaktian a tool shaped like a whip, who called in the language Bantik "Tingkayuan", ago he looked here and there-eyes look far, only the sea, surrounded by stark.

Then Kadema whip saktinya up with the right hand and said: "Adodou adodou land Ponaedan timagongte have bobodone dumulru kumilra kalrotou age nu te nai pung-pung bo wood" (which means: Yes Ponaedan land have been submerged, if the thunder and lightning and start timbullah also the land that the new ditumbuhi with herbaceous and tree-lined with wood from small to large-large, so various kinds of grass and wood). But it is also a flash gunturpun sounds with dasyatnya insistently accompanied with lightning speed-connect, then gradually dry land around the stone was stepped-up area, water began to subside and herbaceous start growing, as well as timberman diversiform -type, so as to say Kadema.

The plants that grow in the first Ponaedan land is pasture sukuhu (bataka) followed goringo (karimenga) and Lria (goraka), new plants and the other.Therefore to-three plants of medicinal plants to be effective for the community and generally Bantik Minahasa people, because the three plants that grow in the first ditanah Minahasa, "new land" from the ground Ponaedan.

Kadema while standing on the rock, then suddenly he heard a voice cry out that someone under the rock, and he Descend to the ground, and the rock digoleknya little, then come out of a young man from under the rock, and he also worship to Kadema. Kadema then said to the young man said, "now you named Toada (Toar), because you kudapati in moada (tandusan)". Moada children in the tribe of Bantik means tandusan (delta). Then they stay in the "new land" and that the land or Malesung Minahasa until now.

Once upon Kadema and Toada agreed to create a sculpture from the moss-moss mixed clay and given the bony timber, and be a very beautiful statue. Toada the statue with attention to feelings of joy, and he told Kadema: "would that if this statue to be human." Reply Kadema nantilah kubawa statue that rose to the heavens to draw the highest Heavens Almighty Mabu Duata namely that he be given the breath of life and become human.

So dibawalah by Kadema statue is facing Mabu Duata, application Kadema granted, and Kadema back to Earth to meet with Toada bring the statue has become a woman of a very elegant parasnya. But in the journey towards a place to live Toada, the statue has become a beautiful woman that had a grasp and be reproved by demons of evil, but the women did not know and can not see beings are fine.

Toada joy to see how women's statues, but not long ago she was ill to die.Toada call and Kadema by Kadema, she was taken to the Heavens for breath is not to be given back. Mabu Duata grant application with the advice that Kadema Arriving at the ends of the earth should take tawaang stem, and diusap-usapkan on her body.

Kadema Arriving on earth, come again demons evil, but they did not dare to approach her, because Kadema has taken tawaang as already requested by Mabu Duata him. Therefore, since old people Bantik often use edge tawaang to treat sick people. Balriang (Wailan) who treat the sick, the night-malaman hold tawaang edge, breathe the name Kadema, while the edge-usapkan to tawaang body is sick, to restore the soul that has gone because the deeds of demons of evil.

Women who are originally from the statue is called "Lumimuutu" by Kadema: for women it comes from lrumu (moss). Society Bantik lumut mentions that"lrumu" or "lrumuutu" and is often called Lrumimuutu (Lumimuut).

(The original Lrumimuutu, which dikisahkan back by Joutje A. Koapaha, 2006 as follows.: Kadema together while Toar browse and enjoy the natural beauty of coastal beach land Malesung, they found a strange-shaped rock named them as"Batutuhe" or stone nahi ' sasuhe that there is a sand dune above. The form of stone because the withdrawal said a pair of strange men and women who are in relationship to the body / sexuality. With the whip in the Kadema and contour stone with shaft whip the stone finally split / separate. Batutuhe after the split, there are in fact the body of a woman who still lives with terbungkus lumut (Lrumu). Kadema named their findings as Lrumimuutu, as found in the moss terbungkus).

Toada and Lrumimuutu live as brothers and the withdrawal Kadema become parents that they must hear all command. Once the event said Kadema to Toada and Lrumimuutu: "Go ye both each took its own way, set to go alone, to find the pair (a mate) you alone. This is the 2 (two) and see the stem rod of the same length, and a one ambilah when you meet each one of you with love, let him pair (mate) you should stick that you have on the diukurkan on tongkatnya.If not the same length, take him menadi pair you. So diberilah by Kadema to Toada a rod that's "tuis" (golobah) and a rod that's "despair" diberikannya to Lrumimuutu.

They bertigapun berpisahlah with the blues, and walk on the road Toada and Lrumimuutu the other way on the other also. In the period of time, bertemulah Toada and Lrumimuutu, but they no longer know each other and when they stick to measure them each one on one, in fact they do not stick together long.But they both agree to live together as husband and wife. At that time hadirlah Kadema and wed them both. After that return to Kadema Heavens. Toada and Lrumimuutu at that time did not know is why stick Toada has become longer than rod Lrumimuutu, as actual stem tuis (gelobah) even though this day but are usually cropped to-day esokan stem tuis akan still grow long.

Toada and Lrumimuutu living as husband and wife, and lived in a hut that is located under the tree wood Singkulrubu. At the bottom of the tree branch wood, the birds roost Bahkeke (Wakeke) and over the birds Manguni.Because Bahkeke birds and bird Manguni live with Toada and Lrumimuutu on the tree timber Singkulrubu that, then all the descendants of Toada and Lrumimuutu very confident to the birds that gave address of good and evil. Birds Bahkeke give the address / sign on the day and birds Manguni cue at night.

Toada and Lrumimuutu get some of these children called Makaduasiou, Makatelrupitu, Makatelrusiou, and others. The longer the Toada and Lrumimuutu get the gift with a lot of offspring. Both they lived until the age of information, so that they can see all the descendants of his children, grandchildren, grandchildren, great-great-great-grandchild, and great-grandfather-buyutnya, many incalculable amount.

Toada and Lrumiuutu then collect all the descendants who have been a lot of it at a place called "Pinatiahen" (meaning: membahagi). Then Toada and Lrumimuutu ride over cobblestone and membahagi language, gives the rules, customs, tradition and taboo-taboo, and they all bercerailah cumulative bank each went ketempat of interest.
