In ancient times there lived a peaceful society in a small village in Manokwari regency, precisely in the Arfak Mountains. The society’s Operations consist of four tribes, namely the tribe Hattam, Sough, Moile, and the tribe of Meyakh. Of the many tribes there, there lived two indigenous tribes are different, but they are side by side. They live in harmony with one another. The children and parents were always working together and work together to find food.
They are the tribes who appreciate nature. Never for them (intention) to destroy the forest, killing animals, or to poison the fish in the river. They always appreciate the gifts of nature. Therefore, they are also always take something from nature with as needed. These children always play together, running around from one tree to another. While gazing at the bright clouds as well as being chase. Ran from one house to another, laugh together is the habit of the children of both the tribe.
The elders selaju call them running around to hear a little bit of poetry of nature. Like that’s them, coexist with nature to make it as the best teacher for them. In each poem spoken always have deep meaning. Not infrequently poetry sung contains the events of the past happened. In poetry there are also a compliment related to their beliefs and not infrequently in their poetry tells the behavior of the animal.
Their life is the life of the harmony between the natural and the civilized man. Until one day things happen that solve their togetherness. The second tribe is no longer brothers. When that happens infighting between the children of both the tribe.
“Hey, this guava tree belongs to us!” said one of the children. “This tree belongs to us, it was entered in the boundary of our land. So this tree belongs to us,” replied the other tribes “No, this tree belongs to us! Every day we play here.” Seizing ownership of any of the cashew tree is not finished, but bickering children, even more-so.
The problem is exacerbated by the actions of one of the children of archery. He did not want to hurt anyone, he just wanted to scare children from other tribes. The boy release the arrow that sped away and about the birds that are perched smoke in the tree branches. The action is then heckled by another boy who becomes his opponent, bahkam increasingly prolonged to involve their parents. A result of the seizure and death of a bird perched in the branches that lead to quarrels under the guava tree.
This small problem turn into a major problem between the two tribes during this life side by side. No one wants to budge between these two tribes, each tribe justify their kids. Conflicts are increasingly endless. Both tribes even decide that one of the tribes away from the village and looking for land for a new place of residence. Both of them split up and remove traces of their friendship. The first group decided to walk to the south, precisely the area that is now called Anggi.
They are the origin of society Arfak speaking Sough. They spread to the south, namely Mainland Isim, Beimes, Chatubouw, Sururey, and most of the city is Ransiki, up to the Bintuni Bay region. While the other tribes, they walked to the direction of the east sea towards the area Minyambouw and lowering of the society’s Operations with the language Hattam. Then spread to the Arfak Mountains, especially in Hingk, Awibehel, Beganpei, and Pinibut.
The story of the past they are friendly and always pitched in to make their missed period. So the thought in their hearts to see each other again. This is what makes them come back together in a family atmosphere. They make the ceremonial meeting was attended by the entire community of their tribe.
In the ceremony they blend with the warm in belutan the night sky illuminated by the stars bright. Unforgettable is also the dish yenga characterizes their association in the past served as good as possible. After spending such a dish, some young men stood up and danced the dances that shaped the snake by holding one hand with the other. Happiness it was a warm evening with the sounds of nature combined with the beauty of the singing of poems full of meaning from the elders them.
Togetherness is lost back into the fraternity that is getting warm. With this story they learn that they can not live alone without a friend, and other tribes. This story is the origin of the creation of tradition cintakuek, namely the eating together of the community’s Operations, as the event showed their ability to feed a lot of people who have a kinship relations in large quantities. Dance performed also became the forerunner to the creation of the dance Tumbu the Ground. This dance is one of traditional dance society’s Operations that is usually displayed in the event and welcoming guests.
From the life of the ancestors of the Arfak this we can take the lesson that family and togetherness is such a precious thing.
