Visiting the Bedouin Village
Bedouin maybe someone mentions the word directly to imagine a tribe who live in remote communities and isolated rural rube from a variety of world development which is increasingly globalized. Bedouin tribes located in the southern province of Banten is a unity of society who are bound by common culture, language Sundanese Bedouin, living farming or farming, and uphold the Sunda Wiwitan religion. Bedouins have the typical model of the stage house roof of palm leaves or reeds and bamboo matting berdindingkan.
Bedouin tribes have a unique characteristic of life that never change since a few centuries ago, long before the religion of Hinduism and Islam entered the region.
Interestingly, the pattern of the Bedouin community lives up to now never change because they want to maintain their distinctiveness as a unique community, different than other communities. Therefore, the Bedouin have been made one of Banten tourism assets, even a national asset that needs to be preserved and maintained.
Bedouin Villages in the mountains located exactly Kendeng, Lebak regency, Banten. Areas where the Bedouin tribe living area of 5132 hectares has been designated as a customs territory that must be protected, on the northern border and in southern Leuwidamar Malingping borders.
Two Groups
Bedouin tribes consisted of two groups, namely the Bedouins and Bedouins Outside In. In the Bedouin village which consists of three Cibeo, Cikeusik, and Cikartawarna. Meanwhile, Foreign composed of 51 Bedouin villages. In the Bedouin population of 600 inhabitants, while as many as 7140 Foreign Bedouin inhabitants, who are classified as part of the Village Baduy, Leuwidamar District, Regency of Lebak.
The distance between the Bedouin and Bedouin In Outer relatively far away and reached by walking through the jungles and mountains. If the Bedouins themselves to get to the Bedouin In only takes four hours. However, if the non-Bedouin people for approximately eight hours.
Use of the term person or persons Baduy Bedouin, not more of an effort outside the Bedouin people give names to groups of people who actually live in the vicinity of Mount Bedouin and that Cibadui River. To call someone Baduy, more because of the Village Baduy who oversees the entire Bedouin village community. Keep in mind that the Bedouins could be called Baduy people, but people do not necessarily Baduy Bedouin Village Baduy because there are also non-Bedouin village community.
For the Bedouin community itself, not the technical term Bedouins, people Baduy, Bedouin and Bedouin Outside In. People there use the term urang urang tonggoh or delight or urang tangtu to mention Bedouin In. As for Bedouin Outside, they used the term urang landeuh or urang panamping. These terms are still used. Bedouin will not mention himself from Bedouin or from Baduy. They will mention the name of his village, like urang Kaduketug for Bedouin communities originating from Kampung Kaduketug or urang Cibeo for Cibeo originating from the village.
The pattern of life lived and dilakoni Bedouins are very interesting to learn. Their lives are very traditional. This can be seen from their modest dress code. Clothes that they use are very special and we can immediately distinguish the Bedouins of the Bedouins in the Outer. Foreign Bedouins usually wearing a black headband, black shirt and black pants. Meanwhile, the Bedouin, and compulsory rules often wear a white cloth headband, white shirt and white pants.
Meanwhile, livelihoods, both Bedouin and Bedouin Outside In is generally farmed or farming with the system moving. In addition, they also have crafts such as weaving with gloves and shawl woven model typical Bedouin. Another similarity between the Bedouin and Bedouin In Outer like to maintain the ban on four-legged animals except dogs were used for hunting. Quadrupeds such as cattle, goats, buffalo, horses and pigs they are animals that damage crops.
The difference, Bedouin never ride in a vehicle when traveling. Therefore, each time to Jakarta or wherever else they had to walk away and do not use footwear, sandals or shoes. Meanwhile, Foreign Bedouins already open to development such as use of footwear, and can ride the vehicle when traveling. Foreign Bedouin could go to health centers when sick, while the Bedouins in prohibited. They use the village shaman to heal the sick. Residential patterns that they use has also been slightly different. In the Bedouin altogether forbidden to use nails in setting up the house. They only use the rope to tie pole frame house and other houses. While the Bedouin of Foreign been able to use nails to make a home.
Harmonious
Although there are many different things, Bedouin life is very harmonious and filled with peace. Mutual life pattern that they employ make them live peacefully. They seemed very friendly, cultured, civilized, even against the tourists they show a friendly attitude. Historically there has been no inter-Bedouins of war or criminal action. In fact this is so, fellow Bedouins unprecedented killing each other, deceive each other, especially with people outside the Bedouin.
Together they are powerful. They held a traditional ceremony at the same time, rice planting and harvesting time, and many other activities that are already scheduled to be implemented simultaneously.
Bedouin tribes have a government system in a simple but effective. Central government carried out from three villages of the Bedouin in. Kampong Cikeusik, the southernmost in the Bedouin village is a center of government which deals with questions of religious and social customs. Cikartawana Village, (CI = water, = city of Jakarta, wana = forest), is a central government that care about agriculture and the welfare of the Bedouin community. Last is the geographical location of Kampung Cibeo located in the middle of the desert, became the seat of government which deals with the field of security and intelligence areas. Each third is led by a village headman named Puun
Change
Since the opening of the terminal Ciboleger, Village Baduy around 1992 which connects with the local Bedouin area outside, brought no small impact. Ciboleger smooth transportation to create a market Ciboleger Bedouin feast for the community. From a plastic bucket, clothes, shoes, soap, shampoo, stationery to food and drinks like coca cola, tea and bottled up chiki instant noodle, widely available in Ciboleger. Coupled with the many local and foreign tourists who come with all the different behaviors and habits with the Bedouin community.
It certainly brought a change in the Bedouin community living patterns, particularly Bedouin Overseas. In each village we've always come across at least one fruit stall. Not surprisingly, this time in the Bedouin Outer many people are already wearing flip-flops, using plastic bags, eating instant noodles with bottled sauce, wash the furniture using a dab of soap, and the women wash in the river with scented soap and shampoo Sachet.
We do not ask for paper and ballpoin trouble to write to Foreign Bedouin population, even some Foreign Bedouin who have a business card as a medium of self-promotion and regions. But they still would not change drastically and cultural customs that have been there with all its consequences.
These conditions will not we meet in the Bedouin in which up to now still holding on to their tradition, culture and customs of his predecessors. We may feel relieved because the Bedouin are still not deterred by the technological progress and the times.
With the opening of transportation to the Bedouin, the more tourists come to visit the area. Ninety-five percent of tourists who visit the local tourists, the rest are foreign tourists.
The lack of brochures and news about the Bedouins make prospective foreign tourists do not have time to glance at this resort. So that tourists can enjoy the journey while getting the correct explanation of the Bedouin and considering the field conditions are quite heavy and the many restrictions or pamali in Bedouin areas, then they should require the services of tour guides or guide services as guides and porters as a carrier of goods.
