In the middle of the siege of the concrete jungle that filled the mall with a variety of discounts as well as apartments with exorbitant prices, sometimes we still see the Baduy (baduy Tribe) flashed on the side of the road, not grounded legs, dressed in a simple cloth, the following tie on his head. If asked, they answered to sell honey or visiting relatives in the city.
Baduy people call themselves Urang Kanekes or the Baduy. The word ‘bedouin’ is the title of Dutch researchers, in reference to their similarity with a group of Arab Bedouin who likes to move around.
Baduy tribe settled right at the foot of the Kendeng mountains in the Village of Kanekes, Leuwidamar, Lebak Regency. Their settlement is about 40 km from Rangkasbitung, a city in Lebak, Banten.
Baduy people speak Sundanese and Indonesian language. They do have a relationship with the Sundanese people, despite different beliefs.
There are three layers in the Baduy, namely Baduy Dangka, Outer Baduy, and the Baduy dalam.
Bedouin citizens Dangka’ve lived outside of indigenous land. They are no longer bound by the rules or animist beliefs Sunda Wiwitan, which upheld the Baduy.
They’ve also educated and understand technology.

Government Baduy
To quote the writing on the official website of the Provincial government of Banten Baduy know the two systems of government, namely national systems, which follow the rules of the country of Indonesia, and the system of customary follow the customs of the people’s trust.
The two systems merged or diakulturasikan in such a way that it does not conflict. Nationally, citizens led by the village head called as jaro pamarentah, which is below the head, while the indigenous subject to the leadership of the indigenous highest, namely pu’un.
The post pu’un last hereditary, but not automatic from father to son, but also other relatives.
The term of office of pu’un is not specified, only based on the ability of a person holding such position.
As a sign of obedience to the ruler, the Baduy regularly carry out the tradition As to the Sultanate of Banten.
Until now, seba ceremony that continues to be held once a year, in the form of a conductive crops (rice, pulses, fruits) to the Governor of Banten (formerly the Governor of West Java), through the Regent of Lebak Regency.
Trust Baduy
According to the beliefs they profess, Baduy Tribe claimed descent from the Batara Cikal, one of the seven gods sent to earth.
The origin is often connected with the Prophet Adam as the first ancestor.
Adam and his descendants, including the Baduy, has the task of meditation for the sake of keeping the harmony of the world. Therefore, the Baduy are maintaining the preservation of the environment in an effort to maintain the balance of the universe. No exploitation of water and excessive soil for them. Enough is the limit.
