Sibaroar

SIBAROAR, 

ANCESTOR OF NASUTION CLAN

Once upon a time, there was a king in Huta Bargot (Mandailing) named Sutan Pulunagan. One day he went hunting, and came near the banyan tree: Hayuara Panunggu located in Muara Batang Angkola. Suddenly the dog barking, Sutan Pulungan thought a deer was sound dog, but after being approached, apparently a younger infants (new born) lying on top of a large rock under the Banyan tree that is 'gonggongan' (disturbed by noise) of the dog. 

Sutan Pulungan then brought the baby to his house in Huta Bargot. At the same time Sultan Pulungan wife gave birth to a child boys too. The baby then deposited on a poor mother to be raised, the location of his home on the edge of Huta Bargot. The name of the mother is Sauwa, and the child finds it named Sibaro Ara (baro = toras, ayu ara = 'banyan tree'), because he was found under a 'banyan tree', but later called Sibaroar. 

After about 5 years old, the child was so dashing and handsome, so that there arose jealousy Sutan Pulungan wife, because the child was found by Sutan Pulungan was more handsome than his own. His wife does not want any more children dashing of his son (his son). Was no intention to kill the child. Incidentally central pillar of Bagas Godang (palace) would be replaced. There malice that was used as a sacrificial child support pole. Yet another spoke of fate, even children who got Sutan Pulungan own and be victim. Sutan Pulungan angry and ordered the commander to kill the child. Sauwa (foster mother) the boy ran into the rice fields in Huta Bargot and under his cabin, but the birds came guinea fowl perched on the roof of the old shack. So the commander lost track. Actually they are suspicious of the old shack, but because there is a bird perched on its roof 'balam' make sure they are not there people in the hut. After seeing the Hulu Sauwa Blang was gone, then took the boy to the edge of Batang Gadis (Pasar Akad, Mandailing), where the river while it was flooded, suddenly hanyutlah and menghempang large tree in front of them like a bridge, and then they also pursue (crossing). 

In subsequent trips, they until to Huta Lombang (Panyabungan-Jae). There was a king named Namora Paimahon Rangkuti. He is very suspicious of Sauwa, because they came from the direction of Huta Bargot, while Huta Lombang and Huta Bargot being hostile, so Sauwa considered spies. 

Therefore Namora Paimahon Rangkuti told them to stay in the upper Huta Lombang in a "home stay" (does anyone have) because the owner has died and has no descendants. Because of her, the house has become a hotbed babiat (tiger) are highly malignant. But the arrival of the home Sauwa turns instantly tame the tiger and licking the feet of a small child. Then they also lived in the house. When growing up he diligently meditated, thus becoming the powerful man. 

A devastated future fields because many pests, and Namora Paimahon Rangkuti hold deliberations. Sibaro Ara was coming, but because he was not allowed into her comer, so he had to sit in the front door over the 'sandals' of people who join the deliberations. In the discussion he had proposed but rejected its because she immigrants. Results meeting and discussion run, tetpi to no avail, and then a second consultation was held again, once the proposal is accepted and after Sibaro Ara run was successful. Namora Paimahon Rangkuti who feel embarrassed because as long as it is alienating the Baro fig, then go fuck off somewhere. Communities that have been left Huta Lombang king, busy-busy moving to a house near Sibaro fig, fig and raised Sibaro as their new king with the title of Sultan Di Aru Parkanasaktion and shelter Sibaro Ara called Panyabungan Tonga Tonga, which is now called Panyabungan-Tonga. 

Furthermore, there is a war between the Sultan Pulungan with Sutan Di Aru Parkanasaktion. Troops in the war, Sutan Di Aru Parkanasaktion almost lost. Suddenly Sutan Di Aru Parkanasaktion rise to the top of a large rock and held up his hand. Suddenly there came lightning Sutan Pulungan Sutan, so that forces Sutan Pulungan mess. 

Namora Kingdom Lubis of Singengu come to reconcile. In the peace Sibaro Ara  degree in Sutan Di Aru Parkanasaktion mated with daughters named Sutan Pulungan Namora Sitapi Paserahan. Furthermore, of the marriage turns Namora Sitapi Paserahan Boru Sutan Pulungan short-lived, leaving no descendants. Then Sutan Di Aru Parkanasaktion mating with Namora Sitapi Paserahan Rumondang daughter of Sultan Batara Guru Hasibuan (King in the Pannai Kingdom/Padanglawas when it). And from this marriage was born Mr. Natoras. This Tuan Natoras have a son Tuan Moksha, and Tuan Moksha have two son namely Baginda Tobing Na Injang and Baginda Mangaraja Enda. Furthermore, of these two scattered Nasution clans in Mandailing. (EN)

Grandfather & grandson

In Mandailing, 'Grandfather' and 'Grandson' 

are 'brother-Sister'

By Edi Nasution

If observed habits of our ancestors, both based on the information obtained through the 'old literature' and look at the facts in the real in everyday life in the village - our hometown, they are rarely asked where someone with a question: "AHA DO MARGAMU" (what your clan name?) the people around him, but that they often ask is "ISE DO OMPUNGMU" (who is your grandfather), "ISE DO AMANGTUAMU" (who is the brother of the your father), "ISE DO LANGA AMU NA SABAGAS" ('anyone of you who live at home'), "ISE DO LANGA HOMU NA SAOMPUNG" (anyone you are a grandfather)  ?, and so on.

At first I thought this is a 'gaffe' given the existence of a 'trend' in the number of tribal comummunities (ethnic group) in North Sumatra which seems to prefer the "MARGA (CLAN)" (?). Tendency as it occurs primarily in 'pandaraman' (big cities as a colony Mandailing) which may be due to a "fairly competitive rivalry between the ethnic group  in North Sumatra so that the nomads tried to build a 'community'of each to 'benefit' together.

This is somewhat contradictory to the customs ('called adat') of our fathers at home in light of the "MANOPOT KAHANGGI" manners. In this case, it could be someone who is actually "A" surnamed (clan), but he "MANOPOT KAHANGGI" to a family "B" clan. This happens mainly because the marriage between the two people of different sexes (men and women) originating from different villages,  or because of the nuclear family moved to another village with a specific purpose so that the head of the family (the father) should be (mandatory) to implement "MANOPOT KAHANGGI" manners so that they can into the structure of society 'DALIAN NA TOLU' (social system) established in village that will (new) occupy it. This is where I see the persistence of the Mandailing old civilization scraps that every 'huta' (village) is autonomous and can not intervention 'huta' another .

So, in this connection, in line with the orientation of Mandailing cultural values​​, one important thing that I saw in identifying the existence of a person is the question "ISE DO OMPUNGMU", not a question of "AHA DO MARGAMU"! That is, each person Mandailing should make himself into a 'OMPUNG' (grandfather) in view of the great grandson (called 'PAOMPU'), instead of a father (called 'AMANG') is great in the eyes of their children. It probably is one of the cultural values ​​that may have started no longer understood by most people Mandailing themselves now, thus making culture and their civilization declined and where they may no longer have the figure of a great grandfather and feasible for be a role model.
