Anai Loita !
These are the Mentawai words of welcoming you to Siberut Island. If you like to encounter the unique experience which island of Siberut will give you... read on.
The island of Siberut is inhabited by the Mentawai people; one of the pure indigenous Indonesian societies. They have had very little contact with the outside world and so have continued to live a fairly primitive forrm of life compare with the life standard of the present day.
The Mentawaians live in the jungle villages and have to rely on the jungle for their food, clothing and medicine. On our trek we will join the Mentawaians on their daily trip to jungle to see how they make their life, how they gather their foods, clothes, medicines, poisons for their primitive weapons like spears and arrows, learn the differences of the trees, plants, and how they use their primitive equipment.
Trekking through the wet and muddy Mentawai jungle is truly a once in a lifetime experience, Imagine swims on the tropical river, swings on vines, soaked in mud baths and sings the traditional songs along the way. Don't worry its not too strenuous so you don't have to be too fit to trek the Mentawai jungles !
... The more you try to interact and communicate wit the locals, the more you will learn and the more satisfaction you will get.
The more you try to interact and communicate wit the locals, the more you will learn and the more satisfaction you will get. Even though there maybe a language barrier at the first, don't be hesitate to communicate with other ways like hand signs, songs or anything understandable. Once you get in touch with them, they will take you to explore their environments, their uma, their jungle and you'll never know what you will find! You will be surprised to know that the Mentawaians are very responsive and extremely friendly.
Masura Bagata !
(Thank You )
