Maybe nobody ever knew what it was tiwah, may also exist that do not know or never even heard tiwah.
The word comes from the language tiwah Sangiang, Sangiang language is the language used by one of religion in Central Kalimantan, namely Hinduism Kaharingan. Sangiang language usually used by Hindu religious leaders Kaharingan to lead a religious ceremony. Tiwah ceremony by the community of Central Kalimantan in general assume that tiwah was a custom, but according to Hindu society Kaharingan tiwah is the process of delivering souls or in the language Dayaknya Liau into heaven or in the language Sangiangnya deliver to "Lewu Tatau Habaras Bulau Hagusung Intan He hiatus Bones ", which means a place of eternal or immortal, and the place was decorated with gold, jewels, diamonds, etc.. 

Liau or spirit here is divided into 3 parts, namely:

   1. Balawang length, for example such as hair or nails.
   2. Karahang bones, eg bones.
   3. Haring Kaharingan Liau is a real ghost or spirit.
The ceremony was led by Basir tiwah or Pisur. Basir is someone who has the ability to lead the ceremony - a Hindu religious ceremony Kaharingan particularly in the area Kahayan Kaharingan Hindu. Pisur that is the same as Basir but Pisur leading Hindu religious ceremony Kaharingan in the Katingan region. In general ceremony led by Basir relatively longer range of 2 months from the ceremony on Pimping by Pisur.
Ceremony tiwah generally done 5 years, but according to a family agreement that would malakukan tiwah ceremony. According to Hindu religion Kaharingan tiwah should be implemented for a sense of responsibility to the spirit and aims to deliver the spirit or Liau into Lewu Tatau (heaven). Tiwah ceremony could also be an interesting visit religious tourism.
According to Hindu religious belief Kaharingan, humans come from the descendants of King Bunu that led the way back to Ranying Hatalla Heaven (God Almighty).
Who is the King Bunu?
King Bunu was the son of the couple Manyamei Tunggul Garing Janjahunan Sea and Kameloh Putak Bulau janjulen Authorship Batu Kamasan blanket Tambun (really long name!). Crisp and Kameloh Tunggul Manyamei Putak Bulau is according to Hindu Kaharingan are human beings first created by Ranying Hatalla Heaven (God). And King Bunu memeng bequeathed to inhabit the earth with - typical features of their offspring could be dead or dying after a descent into the ninth. - Typical features of the other was King Bunu can not host, then changed his food was changed to rice, side dishes - dishes, etc.. As our food today.
King Bunu in anugrahi by Ranying Hatalla Heaven (God), an iron (Sanaman Lenteng). Sanaman Lenteng is an iron accidentally discovered by King Bunu when he played d river with his two brothers. The two brothers of King Bunu that each - each named King Sangen and King Sangiang. Iron is found by the three siblings was "strange", because that one end of the iron arising out of the water and the other drowned. If in a strange analogy, should the iron rod was submerged. King Bunu accidentally hold one end of Sanaman Lenteng who drowned and his two brothers hold one end of which arise out of the water, so that by his account because of King Bunu not deliberately holding the tip of a submerged Sanaman Lenteng, then life is not eternal like the other two brothers, Sangen, King and King Sangiang. Iron that they found it eventually made into boards Dohong Fortress (a type of tool that looks like a typical knife) by their father.
King Bunu and his two brothers also awarded by Ranying Hatalla sky a bird named Elephant Bakapek Bulau Camel Away Barikur Hintan walloping. They were awarded a bird when they were disebuah hill called Bukit Engkan buffer.
When they had found the bird, apparently of three brothers that no one wants to budge and continued to scramble to get the bird. - Then the king Sangen wielding dohongnya ago menghujamkannya toward the bird. Sehingg, the bird's blood came out and King Sangen took the initiative to hold the blood of the bird into a sangku (a bowl). And with a flash of blood is collected in the bird that was changed mneenjadi sangku gold, diamonds, and jewels.

Apparently, the siblings' father knows his son's third perrbuatan. So, with spiritual power, his father went to see her three children were. When I got there Manyamei Tunggul Crisp (their father) to see what has been done by his son because the father felt sorry for the bird and scared her three children "damned" by Ranying Hatalla Heaven for the actions of children - his son, the father was the spiritual power to heal wounds bird.
Because his eye on his brother who got the gold, diamond, etc. it. Thus, King was menghujamkan dohongnya Sangiang toward the bird so the bird's blood came out with a swift and he was doing the same thing that took its sangku to accommodate the bird's blood. It was also exactly the same as that obtained by King Sangen namely, gold, diamonds, etc.. And their father was finally heal the wounds on the bird. Thus, the bird was healthy again.
And again - again greed and envy that descend King Bunu. He also did what has been done by both his brother and he was getting the same results as obtained by the two brothers. And again - again the father was because he felt sorry for the bird's will to heal wounds and he made the bird. But apparently the bird's wound can not heal as usual. Eventually the bird flew with a wound and blood dripping wet areas it. Blood was dripping bird which became abundant wealth. Because the bird's physical condition is getting tired and the wound was getting worse, the bird was finally dead.
Finally, place the bird's death was filled with the eternal riches, and according to Hindu religious belief Kaharingan place called Lewu Tatau (Heaven).

Tradition Long Ears

CALL tattoo art, many tribes in the archipelago that has this tradition such as the Dayak tribe, Mentawai, and Papua. However, the tradition of long ears, only the Dayak tribe in Kalimantan, which has a tradition of this unique and special. That was not all Dayak tribes, but only a few subsuku certain Dayak.
EVEN become one of the characteristics or identity that is very prominent as the original inhabitants of Kalimantan, but the tradition is now even more abandoned. Even if there are to survive, only a small proportion of the older generation Dayak groups aged over 60 years.
Apart from very few in number, those who come from long-eared leaves the end of deliberately cutting their ears. The reason that is often noted, the fear of being out of date or worry their kids feel ashamed.
According to anthropologist Mering Ngo, who also comes from the Dayak tribe, if a traditional Dayak tattoos now evolved into modern tattoo art, tradition long ears even more submerged and abandoned. There are no young people today who carry on this tradition, even though in the interior of Borneo, with a variety of reasons.
"Just me just who made the long ears. Seventh my child, one whose ear was no longer made," said Pejung (82), citizen Kayan Dayak tribe whose ear is made up of about 15 centimeters long.
"I'm sorry if my children will be ashamed and ridicule. In fact, long ears must begin to do since I was a baby," added Pejung.
According Mering Ngo, besides there is no successor to preserve the tradition of long ears, nor do all groups or subsuku Dayak of Kalimantan have long ears of this tradition. In West Kalimantan, for example, the tradition of long ears, among others, known only among the Dayak Iban, Kayan, Parks, and Dayak Punan. This tradition was mostly only applicable in rural areas as in Kapuas Hulu.
A long ears is not only done on women, but also in men. Making long ears are usually done since she was a baby. The objective, according to Mering Ngo, associated with the classification of one's social strata in society.
In the Dayak Kayan, for example, making long ears showed people were from the nobility.
As for making the long ears on women shows he was a nobleman at once to distinguish the women who become slaves because of losing the war or unable to pay debts.
Another with the villages in the Upper Mahakam River. Ear length is used as an identity to show one's age. Once the baby is born, the tip of the ear beads given enough weight. Each year, the number of beads attached to the ear grow one.
"Therefore, if you want to know the age of a person, can be seen from the number of beads attached to the ear. If the number is 60, then age must be 60 years since the installation of the bead can not be done haphazardly, just once a year," said Jacobus Bayau Lung , Chairman of the East Kalimantan Dayak II Fellowship.
The purpose of making the long ears was not to show the status of nobility, but rather to exercise patience. "Just imagine, how hard beads that hung on the ear. But, as it is used every day, patience and a sense of their suffering to be trained," said Bayau Lung.
Meanwhile, among the Dayak Kayan, for a long ears, ears are usually given a ballast of metal circular ring-shaped kazoos or small size. With this ballast will continue elongated earlobe up to several centimeters.
While the Dayak Iban, not given such weight, but only allowed to look like a big hole like if we make the number zero by integrating the tip of the thumb with the tip of the index finger.
In Sungai Dusun Utik, Apan Village, District Embaloh Hulu, Kabupaten Kapuas Hulu, for example, found a Dayak Iban named Tuba.
The old man was aged around 68 years elongate ears around the 60's when migrated to Sarawak and Brunei Darussalam. There he was in addition to lengthening the ears also make a tattoo on the neck, arm and thigh.
Customary Law Professors Tanjungpura University Prof. Dr. John Cyprian Thambun Anyang states, the tradition of long ears Dayak Iban Dayak Park is almost equal to that do not provide ballast.
"In the Garden Dayak, long ears tradition was not associated with certain social strata. This tradition is especially for women only as keperempuanannya identity," said an expert of this customary law.
But, said Thambun, this tradition has been abandoned Taman Dayak community. "My mother just exactly as it comes to Pontiac when it asked for the tip cut off ears for fear that their children will be embarrassed," he said.
According Thambun, elongate ear is just one tradition of decorating the body. The tradition of other Dayak tribe is to make the tattoo and put gold teeth. However, the three traditions of decorating the body, the only tattoo that still survive despite the loss of its spiritual meaning. While making the long ears and put the gold tooth had been left behind.
"The tradition of installing gold teeth for the Dayak Park to show the relevant already wander far, for a nice gold teeth only in Sarawak and Brunei Darussalam," he said.
Starting when the tradition was abandoned long ears?
According Mering, it is not known exactly, but it is expected the same with the tradition of the tattoo when I started the entry of missionaries into remote areas in the Dayak village in the Dutch colonial era first.
This tradition was further eroded out during a confrontation between Indonesia and Malaysia in Kalimantan border area. It was developed stigma in society, those who leaved long ears and live in long houses, inhabited by several families, a community group that is not modern. Not resistant to such views, eventually some people cut off the ear length.
The stigma of this kind continued until now. Dayak among the younger generation no longer willing to make long ears for fear of being considered obsolete and not modern.
Only a minority of the Dayak people who still adhere to the tradition of ear leaf length, and even then the amount is very minimal.

Pangkalima Burung

In the Dayak community, it is believed there is a creature which was mentioned very great, magical, knight, and authoritative. The figure is said to inhabit the mountains in the interior of Borneo, intersect with the supernatural. Spiritual leader, warlord, teachers, and elders who glorified. Dayak is pangkalima war, Pangkalima Bird, called by the Dayak pedalaman.Ada Pangkalima lot version of the story about this figure, especially after his name sticking out during the riots Sambas and Sampit. Someone said he had lived for hundreds of years old and lived on the border between West Kalimantan and Central Kalimantan. There is also news about Bird Pangkalima tangible occult and may take the form of men or women depending on the situation. Also on Bird Pangkalima figure which is a Dayak community leaders who have gone, but his spirit may be invited to communicate through a ritual. Until the story that he was the incarnation of the hornbills, birds that are considered sacred and holy in Kalimantan. 

In addition to the many versions of the story, in parts of Kalimantan, also there are many people who claim to be Pangkalima Bird, either in Tarakan, Sampit, or Pontiac. But any claim that only believed in three different ways: some who believe, there is no trust, and there is hesitation. There is no authentic proof that ensure one of them is really true Pangkalima Bird.
There are so many outstanding issues and stories, but there is one version which I think is very fitting to describe what and who it is Pengkalima Bird. He is a figure that illustrates the Dayak people in general. Pangkalima Bird is the symbol of the Dayaks. Whether it's nature, its practices, and everything about him.
Then how can a bird Pangkalima, how could he represent the Dayak? In addition to powerful and invulnerable, Pangkalima Bird also is the figure as a cool, calm, patient, and do not like making trouble. This corresponds to the typical Dayak people are also friendly and patient, sometimes even shy. Quite hard to persuade rural Dayak people to want to be photographed, sometimes have to present the benefits of clove cigarettes.
And the reality on the ground breaking all the stereotypes of the Dayak as a cruel, vicious, and violent. In public life, the Dayaks can be spelled quite shy, still receive the newcomers with a good, and always maintain the integrity of the cultural heritage of both religion and ritual. As Bird Pengkalima be patient and remain calm which inhabit inland Dayak community too much to give in when loggers and gold miners into their territory.
Although still firmly holds the teachings of the ancestors, the conflict never existed when there are members of the society are turning to these religions brought by the settlers. Boisterous no tension in the room turned into a scope-which by the Dayak Ngaju called Danum Kaharingan yet.
Simplicity was identical with the figure of Pangkalima Bird. Although the figure is celebrated, he does not reside in a luxurious palace or building. He was hiding and meditated in the mountains and merge with nature. Inland Dayak community has never concerned with the nominal value of money. Newcomers can easily berbarter goods such as coffee, salt, or cigarettes with them.
Bird told Pangkalima rarely shows itself, because it is not like to show off the power. Likewise Dayaks, who are not haphazardly into the city with a saber, chopsticks, or arrows. These weapons are generally used for hunting in the woods, and the saber was not removed from kumpang (sarong) if no subject is important or urgent.
So where is the culture of violence and fury of the Dayaks who was widely discussed, and feared it? There was one case Pangkalima Bird down the mountain, that is when after continuous patient and his patience was exhausted. Pangkalima bird indeed a very patient person, but if the limit of patience had crossed the line, the case will be different. He will turn into a pemurka. It's really a perfect depiction of the Dayak people are friendly, shy, and patient, but will turn very vicious and cruel if it is his patience has run out.
Bird Pangkalima that wrath will soon go down the mountain and gather his forces. Ritual-which in the West Kalimankan called Red Bowl-made to collect from saentero Kalimantan Dayak warriors. War dances bersahut-replication, saber firmly attached at the waist. Those who had been the people who are very good will look hideous. The smile on her face disappeared, replaced by malignant eyes like hypnotized. They are ready for war, mengayau-cut off and bring the enemy's head. This is what happened in the town of Sampit a few years ago, when beheadings occur almost everywhere in every corner of the city.
Though cruel and ferocious in anger, as well as Bird Pengkalima Dayak people still hold fast to the norms and rules which they believe. Among others, it does not pollute the sanctity of places of worship of any religion-with-damaging or killing in it.
Because violence in the Dayak placed as the last option, when patience has run out and the way of peace can no longer be reached, it is in their viewpoint. Murder, and activity mengayau, in their little hearts could not be done, but because it pushed to the last option and to change what they think is wrong, it had to be done. This is the actual culture of violence is to be feared.
Mystery is very identical to the Dayaks. Fierce and cruel stereotypes still attached. It's not all good, because there are many shortcomings and mistakes. What's more violence, whatever the form and reason-whether it's revenge, economic, social inequality, and others-still can not be justified. Eye for an eye will only lead to blindness for all. Apart from all kinds of legends and myths, or whether or not a real character, Pangkalima Bird for me is the figure of a true symbol of the Dayaks.

So, Ranying Hatalla take two more properties of self-HIS. Both the nature of it is that His Glory Glory and His Majesty the Exalted. Ranying Hatalla then unite the two properties until it formed the Diamond Hill and Gold Hill. Each hill has a bright light that glowed soft and warm. Diamond Hill in a collision of light rays that are attached to Gold Hill it gives birth to seven kings Ranying Hatalla desired. The seven kings are each given a name. They are the King Mandurut Fortunately, King Mandurut Bulau, Raja Barakat, King Angking buffer, King Garing hatungku, Panimbang Blood King, and King Tamanang.
After the seventh king was created, and then unite Hatalla Ranying Diamond Hill and Gold Hill. Unification of these two hills will become the creation of human embryo .***

Batu (STONE) Suli: Between Stone or silience stone

Nature tourism is considerable potential in Central Kalimantan pretty much scattered in the area, often in remote villages can be found. This is a regional asset that must be preserved and maintained its existence, because in addition contains a tourist attraction for its beautiful landscapes are also many stores that cultural values ​​of high and rich cultural diversity. One of them is a natural site, located at Batu Suli Diamond Mountain District. Distance district from the provincial capital about 200 km with the distance using the ground transportation for approximately 5 hours drive. Travel by boat from the port engine Tewah can be achieved in less than 2 hours. 

batu suli

Location of natural objects that stands firmly Batu Suli is adjacent to the location of the former concession areas. Flycatcher Wana Raya and HPH PT. Domas Raya Subdistrict Tewah, entrance area Kahajan and Miri River, precisely in the village of Batu Nyiwuh. The type of soil in this region are generally red podzolic and podzolic yellow red and alluvial soils are often found along rivers. This argillaceous soil types including fertile enough to grow a variety of plant species. Moreover, supported by climate type A (the value of Q = 5.2%) with relatively high rainfall that occurred from October to May, supporting the establishment of climax wet tropical rain forest type (tropical rain forest) is very rich biodiversity in it.
According to the story, the name Batu Suli was taken from a forest fruit that grows on the hill the stone of fruit Suli, cream-colored skin, thin translucent colored flesh and black seeds. The shape and size of the fruit is somewhat rounded oval of the little finger with a teenage girl about 10 cm long. Flavor is very sweet fruit with a distinctive aroma. It is very unfortunate because the existence of these fruits have started a rare and difficult to get it.
Enjoying the scenery during the journey to where it will be found many of the family tree-merantian meranti (Dipterocarpaceae), the type that dominate tropical rain forests, with canopy height and width combined with the beautiful architecture of the stem. Every now and then decorated with a panoramic view of nature that stretches green hilly lies with the form of a winding road like a snake crawling on the hill add treasures its natural beauty. Do not miss the feel of a typical residential Dayak communities with houses that dot the stage by the river and Lanting (houseboat) that line the rivers. All combined to create natural atmosphere in the interior of the exotic Borneo.
When viewed from a distance looked like giant Batu Suli mighty tower that stands on the banks of the river, while his leg playing in the ripples of water rushing along the beautiful rocks. What is interesting is the presence of Antang Stone is shaped like a small cave or hole, is a part that can not be separated because it is located in Batu Suli region itself. Stone Antang contains rituals and mystical values ​​that are still upheld by the local community. There are still a handful of legendary myth that if someone can get through the cave or hole is then life will improve, rejekinya will increase and other positive things. However, to reach the Stone Antang we must be patient and could take up many hours because the road through some rather difficult and steep. But the difficulty will soon feel neglected when the cool air that surrounded him.
It seems that the existence of Suli Stone is quite popular and has inspired the founders of the villages located in the vicinity and along the stream Kahajan and in the headwaters of the Katingan region to give the name of their village by the name of the stones. It is said that the stones are fragments of stone which restrict the flow of Suli Kahajan and Barito River until drifted aground in certain places and by local communities immortalized as the name of the village. Some of them are located in the village of Stone Mahasur Tumbang Pajange. Badinding stone located in the Katingan region, Stone Nyapau located in the village close to the District Tewah Nyapau. Ampang Batu Batu Nyiwuh adjacent to the Village. Nyiwuh stone itself is the name of the village where Batu Suli sturdy upright standing, and the other is the Batu Ampar.
Until recently, natural attractions Batu Suli condition was still very poor, far from the expectations surrounding communities who want to hang life from existence. Surrounding community life generally work and are still dependent on the environment, farming, looking for rattan, resin and hunting animals to fill spare time. This condition is possible because the location is very far from the provincial capital and the cost is still relatively expensive and the facilities and infrastructure in place that have not been adequate for visitors who want to spend the night and there tired release. This is certainly made of natural tourist attraction is to be left behind Batu Suli. Moreover, due to the lack of mass media in exposing the existence and uniqueness.
If we consider carefully the asset is very supportive in order to increase revenue (PAD) and is also capable of creating local jobs for local people and be able to introduce and raise the city of Diamond Mountain District in the eyes of other areas, because here is promising for refressing to enjoy nature and clean air above the towering rocks on the riverbank.
