so this time I will tell about a Dayak warlord.
The figure of the Panglima Burung or also called Pangkalima suddenly popular lately. The trigger is the news of marriage plans of the Panglima Burung with someone who is touted as the incarnation of Nyi Roro Kidul, a mythical figure in Javanese mythology.
The figure of Nyi Roro Kidul is more popular than the Panglima Burung because it is often mentioned in folklore that flourished in Java. Another case with the new Bird Commander so the conversation under certain conditions.
Previously, the name of the Commander of Birds sticking out during the tragedy of the conflict in Sampit and Sambas, Kalimantan, in 2001 ago. Commander Bird is believed to unite the Dayak tribe of Kalimantan and give him strength.
Many versions of the story about the Commander of the Bird. From popular folklore, especially in Borneo, the Panglima Burung is a legendary supernatural figure who is believed to be a protective and unifying figure of the Dayak tribe.
It is said that he inhabited a mountain in the interior of Borneo. Some of the stories mention the Commander of Birds is the incarnation of birds horn, birds are revered on earth Borneo.
Under certain conditions, Dayak residents held a war dance ritual to summon the Panglima Burung. The figure of the commander is believed to be powerful and gives strength.
The most famous related story is about the flying mandau or the mandau that moves itself after the opponent. Mandau is a typical Borneo sword. The Bird Commander is believed to be the one who moves the flying mandau.
In general, the Panglima Burung is considered to reflect the figure and character of the Dayak people. The original characters love peace, succumb, help, simple, take care of nature and heritage of the ancestors. The character jumps so bold, violent, and cruel when threatened and run out of patience.
From the invitation of the wedding plan of the Commander of the Bird and the person who is called the incarnation of Nyi Roro Kidul, the event will be held on 27 February 2017. Is the Panglima Burung really exist and will appear?
Dayak tribe is one of the oldest tribe in Nusantara. Dayak residents live in Kalimantan, although now its members have spread to various regions.
Today the Dayak tribe is divided into six large clumps, namely Apokayan (Kenyah-Kayan-Bahau), Ot Danum-Ngaju, Iban, Murut, Klemantan, and Punan. The six clumps are subdivided into approximately 405 sub-ethnicities.
The Punan Dayak clump is the oldest of the Dayak tribes inhabiting the island of Borneo, while the other Dayaks are the assimilation of Dayak Punan and the Proto Melayu group, the Dayak ancestor of Yunnan origin.
Divided into hundreds of sub-ethnic groups, all Dayak ethnic groups share common cultural traits. These characteristics are longhouses, material culture products such as pottery, mandau, chopsticks, beliong (Dayak axes), views of nature, livelihoods (farming systems), and dance.
The Dayak cluster of Ot Danum-Ngaju clumps is usually called lewu / lebu and in other Dayak is often called banua / benua / binua / benuo. In the sub-districts of Borneo, the Dayak customary territory is led by an adat chief who leads one or two different Dayak tribes.
Dayaks hold the values and traditions of the ancestors. On the other hand, Dayak tribe is also synonymous with things that smelled the unseen world, one of which is the belief in the figure of the Panglima Burung.
well that's a bit about the commander of the Dayak tribe and beliefs about the Dayak tribe that still in anut until now hopefully this story from me this can benefit for all of us ....
