Summary
| Description |
Nederlands: Repronegatief. Het bekendste eiland van de reeks gelegen ten westen van Sumatra is wellicht Nias. Het was in elk geval het grootste en het meest volkrijke. In de tijd van de VOC had het eiland vooral bekend gestaan als exporteur van slaven naar Atjeh, Padang en Benkoelen. Zo verdiende de adel van het hiërarchische Nias het goud dat ze nodig hadden voor hun bruidsprijs en hun rituele feesten. Nias was een maatschappij van krijgers die niet alleen slaven buit maakten, maar ook ver van hun dorp koppen gingen snellen, bijvoorbeeld voor het begrafenisritueel van een edelman. Het koloniaal gouvernement probeerde dit af te schaffen. (P. Boomgaard, 2001). Een groep onderworpen koppensnellers, Nias "Een bende koppensnellers komt zich onderwerpen", Nias, Noord-Sumatra, ca. 1920
English: Repronegative. The best known island of the range to the west of Sumatra is probably Nias. It was at any rate the biggest and most populous. In the time of the VOC, the island was best known as an exporter of slaves to Atjeh, Padang and Benkoelen. In this way the gentry of the hierarchical Nias earned the gold needed for dowries and the ritual feasts. Nias was a society of warriors who not only enslaved people, they also went head hunting, for instance for the burial ritual of a nobleman. The colonial government tried to end this (P. Boomgaard, 2001). A group of subdued headhunters, Nias “a group head hunters came to submit themselves” Nias, Northern Sumatra, ca 1920 |
