Thus difficult to distinguish whether the Togutil Dodaga are people Tobelo ( Boeng ) or

the original Togutil . Until now no one keteranganpun which gives a clear indication of
the difference . And apparently , until now the definition of " person Togutil " had been
used for naming all those nomads who live in the jungle interior of the island of
Halmahera in North Maluku .
Researchers from the University Patimura who conducted the study , concluded that the
rejection Togutil Dodaga people to accept the notion that they include Togutil tribes and
their bahklan appoint another person ( the sheep ) as Togutil , this may correspond to the
fact that they are the ones Tobelo ( Boeng ) who fled into the woods . This fact is
supported by the designation of their place of origin is the origin Villages Tobelo and
Kao are not the original Togutil tribal habitation .
Thus , the question certainly arises ; Who actually Togutil rate it .. ? Although this
problem can not be solved until now people know Togutil tribe in the jungle Halmahera
there are two , namely: 1 ) People who are already Togutil Dodaga relocation can be
invited by the Government and 2 ) Original Togutil People who still live in the deep
forest that still use pattern life and living dependence of the gifts of nature ( nomadic )
and do not know of farming systems as well as life as yet untouched by the outside
world .
FOREST RIVER HOUSE RATE AS & GOA TOGUTIL
There Togutil tribal people who live in coastal areas , but mostly in the deep forest there
is a river that is the source of their life . They do not know the system of government
and binding power . They also do not know the system of farming and residential
gardens . Most of them wander in certain forests with caves or home emergency shelter
which is considered as his world . They depend on the nature of life . In dress , they still
use the " G-string " made of leaves and bark , without wearing clothes .
People Togutil indigenous tribes that live in the jungle Halmahera often bombarded with
prejudice ; retarded and hates foreigners . They use dogs as an early action to dispel if a
stranger enters their territory .
Because the forest is home to tribal people Togutil , then the tree is considered as the
source of the birth of a new generation . In addition to sticking the magical elements ,
the tree can also be a symbol of birth ( reproductive genetics ) . I quote a few notes on
the results YPHL Competition (2008 ) on the topic ; Trees For Symbol Birth , Considers
Local Understanding of Trees in the Forest Damage Restoration Efforts , written by
Anthon Ngarbingan in http://www.kabarindonesia.com dated October 31, 2008 ,
suggests that there are several groups of people as tribes in the area Togutil Baborino ,
Buli , East Halmahera - North Maluku , which uses trees as a symbol of the birth of a
baby in the middle of the family . When a baby is born , then one member of the family
should plant a tree , which symbolized the presence of a new generation in the middle of
the family .
Things like this that cause people Togutil could survive in the woods , with no need to
damage forests . In fact , their lifestyle to move where . This kind of practice is also
carried by several families living in Tobelo , North Halmahera . They often plant a fruit
tree as a symbol of the presence of a baby in the middle of the family .
Togutil people assume that the link between children born with planted trees is their life
would actually also like the tree , which will grow up with and produce something that
could be useful for everyone .
Togutil tribal people has yet to know the farming systems , livelihood systems they are
collecting forest products and hunting within a certain time period , then the results are
eaten together . As long as there are still groceries , extended family members do not
perform foraging activities . They will return to gathering food and hunting reserves
when food is running out . Togutil tribal people usually get food straight from the tree ,
such as fruits and tubers .
How to hunt Tugutil tribe is a group ( all men of extended family members ) by using
dogs . The tools used are hunting spears , machetes and arrows accompanied by tuba
( poison ) . In an effort to catch prey , they also recognize the use of snares . People
Togutil adept at making a noose from a piece of rattan and young plants are flexible
curved to ensnare . Type of animal that is hunted pigs , deer , pheasant , birds , possum ,
snakes , lizards and bats .
Togutil tribal people in an effort to collect food , perform in groups , such as sago
gathering , or on their own such as collecting tubers ( Bete , Mangere & Gihuku ) and
fruits . Because they dwell near streams , the fish is also a basic livelihood . Seruas
bamboo transformed into rice cooker pot or potions, and a sheet manggar , young palm
leaves strung together so takir , natural cup . Gum resin of hibum , giant walnut as
tennis balls , four times the usual walnuts , the crust was beheaded , burned , like a
candle flame lights the night.
face - the - tribe - togutilBagi Togutil tribal people , the dog is the highest treasure . A
Togutil without dogs would be paralyzed on the job and not passionate . This may be
because the dog is so large role in the life of a Togutil in the woods , well-placed
berbuiru and earn a living . Wherever people go Togutil rate , he will be accompanied
by his dog . Because that's not surprising when a dog can cause problems disputes
between individuals and between groups that led to a small war . Kill - kill issue , the
rift between friends and between groups may be incurred as a result of a dog .
Additional information about the tribe almost naked ( dressed in a loincloth ) is very
diverse . Encyclopedia of Ethnic Groups in Indonesia ( LP3ES , 1996) called it a " tribe
Togutil " who live in the woods and Tutuling Dodaga , District Wasile , Central
Halmahera , North Maluku . According to the Encyclopedia , the current population of
600 people Togutil . Another source called it " Oho Ngana Manyawa " which means
forest or jungle people who like to kill ( menghabisil lives ) foreigners .
In the article in Essence Magazine Edition Christantiowati September 2008 , pages 124-
130 writes that Rachma Tri Thistle Bird Preservation of Indonesian institutions , and
Atiti Katango , rangers from the National Park ( TN ) Aketajawe , who drove the team
to the edge of Tayawi River , near the village of Kumu , only 15 minutes drive and the
village of Bale , Bale revealed that villagers , District Oba , Tidore Islands , North
Maluku once told them that the tribal people Togutil the first citizen " run tax" ( do not
want to pay taxes ) , so Dutch fled or were expelled into the forest . They can also be
found around the village of Speech , Tukur , Totodoku , Oboi , Tatam , Lili , Mabulan ,
and Baken . They called Tobelo In or Tobelo Forest , to distinguish from Tobaru ,
Tobelo village or town that already .
Togutil tribes that we know today , who would have thought that one day may be only a
memory . The tribal population is now on the wane . This could be due to the condition
of their living habits are irregular resulting in the number of births is not comparable to
the death of members of this tribe . Another thing is the nature of those who are afraid
of seeing another man and is close chance they get food at a difficult season so that
ultimately influence the development of their population and reproductive genetics .
Hopefully this rate does not follow the lead of the Moro tribe in northern Halmahera
mysteriously missing ( unseen ) in the previous century . Hopefully, the " National
Geographic " interested to explore this place ...... !
One of the most valuable things that have been pointed out by tribal Togutil we consider
" less " civilized this has been a lesson for us all , namely: " Nurture Nature ,
lestarikanlah forest and do not ever ruin " . Once again , they are proving that we feel
ourselves the " civilized " who must learn from their wisdom and friendliness . I am
sure you all would agree with this ... ! ( @
