Ironically Often they are accused Fight Aspirations
Before there was government and the church turned out to indigenous peoples has existed prior to the entry of official institutions want any formal non-formal. Even the indigenous people standing with its traditional politic system to maintain its continuity from generation to generation.
But lately it indigenous wisdom and traditions fade due to changing times and the degradation of traditional values. LMA Head of Merauke Marind Anim Alberth Moywend say today's society can easily be bought with money for the benefit of particular interest both by power and capital owners. "This condition is highly detrimental to identity and traditional values," guman Moywend.
Moywend digumuli What are some of the problems in indigenous communities of Papua timbull. There were even accusations of indigenous or traditional institutions only fight for Papuan independence movement as the result of research KIPPRa Foundation in 2007. About 20 years, has many born customary institutions or any institution in the Papua New Order era, especially the establishment of Institute for Indigenous People of Irian Jaya which dketuai by the late Theys Hiyo Eluay. Reference to any more appropriate customary institutions and interests of each version, among others, the Institute of Indigenous Peoples (LMA), Council of Indigenous Peoples (DA), Indigenous Institute (LA), Council of Indigenous Tribes (Basin), Council of Indigenous Peoples Alliance (DPMA). All this is a form of new institutional forms in Papua.
So what exactly is meant premises indigenous peoples? If you actually listened to indigenous peoples has been gaining recognition, especially when the United Nations do Declaration on Rights of Indigenous Peoples The United Nations Declaration or Covenant on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples In one paragraph of the declaration affirms that indigenous peoples are equal to all other societies, while recognizing the right rights of all people are different, and thus so well appreciated. Also realize also that indigenous peoples are organizing themselves for the sake of improving our political, economic, social and cultural development to end all forms of discrimination and when the operation is happening everywhere.
Another thing to note is that in article 13 of Annex Preamble and 46 articles of the Declaration states, among others, Indigenous peoples have the right to revitalize, use, develop and continue to the next generation of history, languages, oral traditions, philosophies, writing systems and their literature , and to present and defend a community name, name of the place names and place names orang.Sedangkan in article 11 paragraph 1, the mention of Indigenous Peoples have the right to practice or revive traditions and customs. This includes the right to preserve, protect and develop manifestations past, present and future of their culture such as archaeological sites and historical sites, engravings, designs, ceremonies, technologies, visual and performing arts and literature.
Not only in article 11 paragraph 2, describes the State needs to provide good handling through effective mechanisms, which may include restitution, developed in conjunction with indigenous peoples, related to the value of cultural property, intellectual, religious and spiritual have been taken without notice preceded and approved independently or constitute a breach of the laws, traditions or customs.
"Indigenous peoples of Papua variety that is concerning language, social structure, leadership, livelihood and ecological systems, as well as land ownership rights (rights)," said anthropology professor Fisip Cenderawasih University (Uncen) Dr JR Mansoben in several studies of Papua in discussion with Jubi recently in Jayapura.
Further clear anthropology doctoral graduate of the University of Leiden, the Netherlands in terms of language, there are two main groups of Austronesian (eg Waropen, Wandamen, Biak, Tobati, Iha, Ambai, Maya etc.) and Non-Austronesian as Dani, Sentani, Mee, Asmat , Muyu, Meybrat and so forth.
In accordance with the results of research Summer Linguistic Institute (SIL) in Papua, there are about 250 tribal languages are different from each other. While Papua New Guinea has about 670 tribal languages. The system of traditional leadership in Papua by Mansoben divided into several types, among others
1.Tipe leadership of King or system of leadership on the basis of inheritance,
2. Big Man leadership system or male authority and
3. Leadership campuran.Kepemimpinan on the basis of inheritance or on the basis of personal effort to achieve these positions.
According Mansoben leadership system based on a system of royal lineage (trades in the past) in Raja Ampat, in Fak Fak, Kaimana or system Ondoafi or Ondofolo in Sentani and Culture wilayan Tabi including Genyem namely Demou Tru is the highest position in society which is only occupied Namblong by Wai Iram, sometimes considered permanent position.
So if you listened cirri cirri is the customary form of government based on discussions hasill ever undertaken by AFP3 Papua in recent Waena is singular and autonomous, the structure of the person / individual, has the charisma in the leadership, obedient and submissive because customary sanctions firmly and clearly , rooted in tradition, territories and boundaries are clear, have a treasure, bound in a unity merasaka adat.Sedangkan territorial customary institutions and the meaning is a set of rules, norms and cultural values that govern efforts to meet the needs of the community including organizing toward the improvement of community welfare and institutions can also be interpreted as a container / traditional organizations in meeting the needs of the community through various activities.
In detail, there are seven indigenous territories in Papua region among other areas, indigenous territories
1 (Mamta) includes Port Numbay, Sentani, Genyem, Depapre, Demta, Sarmi, Bonggo, Mamberamo. Indigenous Region 2 (Saireri) Biak Numfor ie, Supiori, Yapen, Waropen, Nabire the beach. Indigenous Region 3 (Domberay), among others, Manokwari, Bintuni, Babo, Wondama, Wasi, Sorong, Raja Ampat, Teminabuan, Inawantan, Ayamaru, Aifat, Aitinyo.Wilayah Bomberay customary four areas include Fakfak, Kaimana, Kokonao and Mimika. Traditional territory covers five areas Anim Ha Merauke, Digoel, Muyu, Asmat and Mandobo. 6 indigenous territories Me Pago area include the Star Mountains, Wamena, Tiom, Kurima, Oksibil, Okbibab. 7 regional customs territory of La Pago, among others, Puncak Jaya, Tolikara, Paniai, Nabire inland.
Results Identification Studies Institutions of Indigenous Peoples of Papua on five areas of Merauke, Biak Numfor, Mimika, Waropen and cooperation BPMD Jayapura Papua Province with the People's Empowerment Foundation, an Independent Consultancy (KIPRa-Papua) in December 2007 had concluded that:
1.Semua district study sites have had traditional institutions at the district level through district and village levels. Even in the Merauke district of more than one traditional institutions such as Institute for Indigenous Peoples (LMA) Marind Anim Ha but also there Muyu Tribe Tribal Council.
2.Dalam called traditional institutions still have a few versions but have essentially the same substance. There are still using the name or the term LMA (Institute for Indigenous Peoples) as in Merauke, watershed or Sentani Tribal Council in Jayapura District, Council of Indigenous Peoples Alliance (DPMA) North Deponsero, Tribal Council, Lemasko (Institute for Indigenous Peoples Kamoro) and Lemasa (Institute Indigenous Amungme) in Mimika District Council would also Indigenous territory of Merauke. But clearly the birth of this institution in accordance with the needs and support from the community.
3.Permasalahan prominent in some districts are looking at indigenous peoples as an organization that is oriented towards fighting the Papuan people for independence, so always suspected and no support for activities which will be done. Region's most dominant and visible presence strife and resistance to certain traditional institutions of Merauke and Biak Numfor. LMA chairman beating case Malind Anim Ha and satellite launch project in Biak is a strong indication of conflicts between government and indigenous peoples.
4.Hampir most institutions do not have adequate working facilities, good offices, equipment, labor and operational costs as well, so in the service of indigenous communities is inadequate. Except in Mimika District Lemasko and Lemasa have sufficient funds and facilities.
5. Still ... ... the problems experienced by many institutions internally, because its existence primarily to fight for basic rights of the indigenous people of Papua, besides that it has not tersosialisasinya work programs of traditional institutions. But on the other hand there has been recorded degradation of indigenous values also helped influence the development of indigenous peoples. The irony indigenous children who sat as an officer some of them do not care what he fought for indigenous institutions, and even led a movement for independence.
The formation of any customary or traditional council of Papua certainly intended to be able to improve their bargaining position (bargaining position) of indigenous peoples in an investment or as a filter in the filter changes and technological developments.
However, a clear change in behavior, especially from outside factors such as the Chairman of LMA complained of Merauke Alberth Moywend today's society can easily be bought with money for the benefit of particular interest both by power and capital owners. This condition which resulted in nearly Moywend loss of identity as indigenous peoples Anim Malind a confident, jujru, responsible, physically and mentally healthy, mutual respect and fear God.
