Maturing process of a woman to go through a ritual of cutting teeth, which in the local language of the indigenous ritual called "Sorongi'is". Uniquely, this ritual is usually done over a range of pre-teen or teen years, depending on the ability of the child's parents. This ritual as a complement to the process leading to marriage.

Two girls dressed indigenous people visible lying in the wedge by the grandmother. Not long after, a man who was appointed as the officer approached cutting teeth and jaw holding her son, asking him to open his mouth. A small whetstone plugged directly into the child's teeth. Cash only child faces grimacing and groaning issued withstand pain when the grindstone in rubbing repeatedly.
Having considered the tooth surface was flat, the child was handed over to one of the mother to be treated. Here treatments rely a hometown-style concoction of betel nut is still raw. The boy is required to chew betel nuts a few times just relieve pain.




Jhonatan Raga (Pariwisata Nagekeo Flores East Nusa Tenggara)

Poetry in rhythm tandak tells about the ancestors and some traditional teachings in life. Occasionally interspersed with a spoken poem is berbalasan of women and men. Fill sometimes humorous rhymes, which invited laughter from the audience. To add to the spirit, an officer will continue to serve betel and moke, signature drinks to the participants Nagekeo tandak. In the local language, tandak event is called "Wai Allies".




Not long after, the child who will cut the teeth brought by his parents to be included in tandak. Here the child must use the customary fashion and covered her mouth with a sling. During the process, the child is constantly getting control of the family not to communicate directly with anyone. In the event tandak, the child is given the opportunity just five times revolve around the campfire with the other participants tandak. Then brought back to the room to rest. Tandak event lasts all night non stop. As the sun rises, the event tandak disbanded.

This is the culmination of all the women in the tribe maturation series Dhawe Nagekeo District. Sorongi'is ritual implies that the child has grown up in the customary law. As in tuturkan Donatus Two, one of the tribal elders Dhawe, a moment when it comes to age ready nut, customary law has been approved if there is a man who came to woo,
Before heading Sorongi'is ritual, the family had to undergo a series of custom events. The previous night, the family and the invitations will carry tandak. They began to dance, sing and berpantun around the campfire while holding hands.



Prior to the event cutting teeth, the family must perform a ritual again that, take offerings to the ancestors. Offerings usually consist of rice, meat, betel and moke. These offerings as a form of thanksgiving to the ancestors once begged blessing for organizing the event
When it came to the top of the show, the children were led out of the house by her parents. The process of cutting teeth should be carried home neighbor who still has family ties. However, before the group headed neighbor's house, first child is blessed with a traditional greeting by one of the elders. Custom greeting followed by a splash of rice five times to the child. This pemberkataan ritual called "Resa Drain". After that, the child will be swayed by his father as much as five times over a pig that is put in front of the house. At the count of five, the child is ready to swing past the pig and walked to a neighbor's house where the ritual execution of cutting teeth. The home is waiting for tooth filing officer who had been prepared with a small grindstone. The officers should be from a family member.

The whole series of events was arguably requires no small cost. Usually long ago the family had prepared all the needs of the show, ranging from cows, buffalo, pigs and goats are ready to sacrifice for a meal together. For parents of children, the preparation of this event may be helped by the gifts brought by the invitation. However, the parents also have to think of how to repay back the gifts. Because it has become a tradition, the family as an invitation to bring gifts of mats, cushions or rice will receive a reply in the form of goats or pigs. In contrast, the pigs or goats brought gifts will receive a reply mats or rice.
However, behind all these Sorongi'is process, tucked a sense of relief and pride. At least, parental responsibility in customary law has been implemented, although the economic cost is quite large.

At that time, the Portuguese sailors who sailed from Macao (Malacca) stop at Tanjung Bungan, the eastern end of Flores Island now. Tanjung Bungan in the local language means Tanjung Indah, to describe the beauty of fauna and marine parks in the salient.

Since then, the name of the island located in the north Indian Ocean and the Pacific was known as Flores, which sounded strange to the ears of the Malays. The name was later officially used since 1636 by the Governor General of the Dutch East Indies Hendrik Brouwer.

That is why ever appeared discourse among observers of the local culture to restore the island's name to the name of the indigenous, Nusa Nipa. The reason, the name Flores who has lived nearly five centuries is not really reflect the richness of flora contained by this island. In addition, more memorable name Flores feels soft, smooth, beautiful, but less "energetic". Impression of the beauty of the name Flores, according to the observer of the local culture, the social-psychological societies have tended to illustrate soft and beautiful but lacking in character brave, gallant, brave, intelligent, nimble and agile as the image of the ancestors Nusa Nipa beforehand, as described in a variety of local folk legend.

Before being named Flores, Nusa Nipa has been known since the days of the Majapahit Empire in the 14th century. Its position is strategic because a trajectory path sandalwood trade of the island of Timor to China and to India. This makes the Kingdom of Gowa, the Kingdom of Ternate, the Portuguese, the Dutch and the Japanese scramble for control of the island. However, none of them actually managed to subdue the king or the captain who captured a local region.


The newcomers are trying to exert influence in the coastal region, but few can touch the interior because it was blocked by a steep mountain range with a winding river at the bottom. Flores is now the interior is more easily reached by the road that goes up and down splitting mountains and meandering around the hills with towering cliffs on one side and on the other side of the chasm with a depth of tens of meters. It's a fantastic journey for those who love adventure.

NTT expedition

Compass makes a comprehensive coverage of the Expedition trail Civilizations East. Compass team seeks to unravel the cultural richness of NTT and agricultural potential in the broad sense, which can be developed to improve the welfare of the people of NTT. Results will be reported coverage from today until next week, plus a report in Focus rubric on Friday next week.

East Nusa Tenggara rich culture and tradition, endowed with natural beauty, vast savannas for livestock, as well as the potential for marine fisheries and abundant.

People living in a number of islands in the province belong to the ethnolinguistic group with at least 40 different traditions. Because of that, there are various fabrics and distinctive musical instruments in NTT, also various rituals, such as Pasola and wula poddu in Sumba, kebhu, gemohing, and ka nua in Flores.

NTT are the rest of the animals in ancient dragons, swirling white sandy beaches and coral gardens in many islands, Lake of Three Colors in Flores, Flores, early man site Liang Bua on Flores, and Sumba megalithic stone tomb potentially attract tourists.

More than a century Sumba is famous as a center for horse and cattle Ongole Sandel. Coffee, cocoa, cloves, and nutmeg thrives in Flores. NTT has also been a source of sandalwood best in the world.

In terms of human resources, who do not know the origin of NTT figures such as doctors and scholars Prof. WZ Johannes Herman Johannes and Frans Seda who occupied various ministerial posts in the era of Sukarno and Suharto.

Ironically, this time including the NTT province of Indonesia lags in the second-lowest-ranked of the 33 provinces in terms of Human Development Index. In 2010 the graduation rate of high school students and equal national examinations in NTT in the lowest ranks in Indonesia.

Indonesia Demographic Health Survey 2007 showed, the maternal mortality rate (MMR) NTT 306 per 100,000 live births, while the national maternal mortality rate 228 per 100,000 live births. The infant mortality rate (IMR) NTT 57 per 1,000 live births and the national IMR 34 per 1,000 live births. In addition, 23 percent of the 4.6 million inhabitants are poor NTT.





Lack of infrastructure

NTT complained about the lack of public infrastructure, such as roads, seaports, airports, health care, clean water, and electricity. It is difficult for the movement of goods and people, making the quality of life does not go up, which in turn inhibits the development of human resources.

According to members of the Economic Commission of West Manggarai Development Council, Edi Endi, only 10 percent of the total 212,000 kilometers of roads in the West Manggarai are fit for use. Like a size too much because it paved even chipped.

Traces of Civilization observation NTT Expedition team, several roads in West Manggarai regency cut by streams and holes. This leads to the difficulties of marketing of agricultural and plantation. Several large trucks carrying agricultural products, such as vanilla and coffee, difficult crossing provincial roads are narrow and winding. Partly rolled in sharp turns.


In fact, to market their crops and livestock, is a mainstay of the region, it is necessary that sufficient harbor large ships can dock. Proposed district governments to the central government to expand the Port of Nusantara has not received a response.

Lack of transportation in NTT makes citizens more difficult to access health services. Health workers could only reach people in remote areas and small islands once a month. As told by Dr. Elvira, Chief Melolo Health Center, East Sumba. To achieve Karobu Hamlet, Kanoru Ngaru village, or hamlet Indirara, Village Watukunda, doctors and paramedics should be along the winding path flanked by cliffs and ravines, climbing steep hillsides, and crossed the river.

Villagers Demondei, District Wotanulumado, Adonara, has a long way to the various modes of transport in order to reach the hospital in Larantuka, East Flores regency capital. Ie, walking distance to village Mewet coast, connected to the motorcycle ride motorcycles Waiwerang Pier, then crossed over two hours by motor boat to Larantuka. Quite often mothers of difficult labor eventually died on the way due to loss of blood.

Chief Medical Officer of NTT Stefanus Bria said health workers in the province is very limited. The number of doctors in the last three years continues to decrease, from 215 to 161 general practitioners and dentists. Specialists only 12 people.

Number of health centers spread across 21 districts / cities in the province is only 113 units, 187 units of privately-owned clinic, polindes 1,994 units, 1,115 units and health centers. Hospital only eight pieces, the new hospital will be built in Adonara, East Flores.

The majority of residents are still difficulties NTT clean water. They have to walk long distances to fetch water because ground water is very hard to come by in the land that is generally dominated by coral and limestone.

Relatively low income level residents. Traditional fishermen earn an average income of Rp 10,000 to Rp 12,000 per day, using a wooden boat.
There is still a lot of homework to be done by the government and the people of NTT to build human resources and infrastructure for poverty parse.
