Description

Maribu Village

I visited this village once a week for Gospel mission ministry 30 years ago. Now, we are living in Sorong Regency of West Papua province. There were still traditional house stages along both sides of the highway to the Depapre district when I was there. It was like the hanging house on the wooden poles about 2-3 meters from ground level. The walls of the house are made of sago stalks. The roof is made of woven sago leaves, while the floor is made of boards. Modern houses are built alongside the paved highway to the Depapre sub-district. Their ordinary food is sago. So many Sago hamlets surrounding the village belong to native people. Sago is a type of palm tree. The sago starch will be extracted from the sago tree. How to produce sago flour? Firstly, sago stems must be cut down, and their bark is peeled; the inside of the tree is forged using a wooden ax to shatter and form fibers. Then, the sago palm fibers are mixed with water and squeezed like coconut milk. Its pollen then flows through a channel made from sago fronds and keeps quiet in a big container made of sago fronds for several days.

Bahasa Indonesia

Saya mengunjungi desa ini seminggu sekali untuk pelayanan misi Injil 30 tahun yang lalu. Saat ini kami tinggal di Kabupaten Sorong, Provinsi Papua Barat. Saat saya ke sana, masih ada rumah adat panggung di kiri-kanan jalan raya menuju kawasan Depapre. Bentuknya seperti rumah gantung di atas tiang kayu sekitar 2-3 meter dari permukaan tanah. Dinding rumah terbuat dari batang sagu. Atapnya terbuat dari anyaman daun sagu, sedangkan lantainya terbuat dari papan. Rumah-rumah modern dibangun di sepanjang jalan raya beraspal menuju kecamatan Depapre. Makanan biasa mereka adalah sagu. Begitu banyak dusun Sagu di sekitar desa yang merupakan milik penduduk asli. Sagu adalah sejenis pohon palem. Pati sagu akan diekstraksi dari pohon sagu. Bagaimana cara memproduksi tepung sagu? Pertama, batang sagu harus ditebang dan dikupas kulitnya; bagian dalam pohon ditempa menggunakan kapak kayu hingga hancur dan membentuk serat. Kemudian, serat sagu dicampur dengan air dan diperas seperti santan. Serbuk sarinya kemudian dialirkan melalui saluran yang terbuat dari pelepah sagu dan didiamkan dalam wadah besar yang terbuat dari pelepah sagu selama beberapa hari.
