AREA OF KLUET
The Kluet region is now recognized as a unity within
the district of South Aceh. At first Kluet only two areas, namely North Kluet
and South Kluet. The North Kluet region is capitalized by Kotafajar and Kluet
Selatan with the capital of the stable.
Since
Aceh gained Special Autonomy status and strengthened by the Law on Governing
Aceh (UUPA), Kluet region was divided into 5 regions:
·
North Kluet, Kotafajar's capital,
·
Kluet Tengah, the capital of Menggamat,
·
Kluet Timur, the capital of Duriankawan,
·
South Kluet, capital of Cages,
·
Kluet Barat, the capital of Pasieraja.
The expansion of the Kluet region provoked a new
conflict in the Kluet region. In West Kluet with the capital of Pasieraja
inhabited by the non-Kluet-speaking Pasieraja community, people here do not
recognize its territory as Kluet territory. In fact, had spread the issue, if
forced Pasieraja region with the name of Kluet West, the community here will
ask the region put into the district Tapaktuan only. As a result, the plaque of
the sub-district office of this region is clearly written "Sub-district
Head of Pasieraja", not "Head of West Kluet Sub-district with the
Capital of Pasieraja".
Apparently
this made a minor split among the Kluet people, although not to the point of
causing a bloody conflict.
The presence of three distinct tribes (Kluet, Aceh and
Aneuk Jamee) in the Kluet region seems to be the cause of divisions among the
Kluet people. Aceh-speaking community groups do not want to be called Kluet. In
contrast, Kluet-speaking community groups also do not want to be called part of
Aceh.
The Kluet community has a number of customs and
cultures that have been preserved for generations from generation to
generation. In the marriage custom, circumcision of the apostle, custom of
death, medication, and so on.
Then for
oral literature is still alive and growing in this community, for example the
tradition of poetry at the wedding party.
There are two popular poems in the wisdom of the Kluet
people:
Syair Meubobo, usually used by the bridegroom's
introductory troupe (linto baro). The mebobo poem is also often used when
removing children going to the oceans or during circumcision of apostles. This
habit is still alive in the Kluet society today. However, not everyone can play
the two poems. It takes her own skill to sing.
The Meukato poem, is a rhyme rhymed between the
bridegroom group and the bride's entourage.
In addition the tradition of proverbs in the Kluet
language is delivered with dialect of each region.
According to some literatures, the Kluet tribe also
has a clan. It's just that the clans in the Kluet tribe are not prioritized to
be displayed like the other Batak people. But for some people Kluet there is
also a display clan behind his name. Some clans of Kluet are similar to the
clan of Alas, Singkil, Karo and Pakpak tribes.
Some
within the clan of the Kluet tribe are:
Selian
Kombih
Pinim
etc.
The majority of Kluet people are devout Muslims. Some
traditions and cultures are heavily influenced by the Islamic element. Islam
has developed in the Kluet community since several centuries ago, along with
the entry of Islam in Aceh.
Among the people of Kluet tribe are also stored myths
makhlus magical (smooth), one of them like myur meurampot, which is still
believed by most people Kluet tribe.
The Kluet people generally live in agriculture, such
as gardening and farming. They live by way of exogamus (mating with another
clan). The marriage is arranged by both families of prospective brides. The
engagement usually takes about 3 years.
The village administration is divided according to the
family group according to the mergo (clan), and the smaller part of the
government (rodjo). A group of people one descendant sara rodjo (one father)
and sara ino (one mother).
Alas tribe people do not know traditional script. All
forms of advice and other things related to social life are passed down through
generations through tarombo and oral stories.
