The Tribal Customs Of Kajang

          Kajang tribe is one of the traditional tribe, located in bulukumba district of South Sulawesi, exactly about 200 km east of Makassar city. The kajang area is divided into 8 villages, and 6 hamlets. However, it is important to note that the kajang is divided into two geographically, the inner kajang (kajang tribes, they are called "tau kajang") and the outer kajang (people who settle around relatively modern kajang tribes, they are called " around the relatively modern kajang tribe, they are called "tau lembang").

          Outdoor kajang area is an area that has been able to receive civilization technology like electricity, unlike the case of inner kajang who can not accept civilization, that is why in kajang area in no electricity not only that if we want to enter the area of ​​ammatoa area (kajang dalam) us should not wear sandals this is because by sandals made from technology.

         Not only that the shape of the house in the kajang and outside kajang very different. In the outer kitchen kajang and place the toilet is located in the back of the house as well as the houses in general, unlike with a deep kajang (ammatoa area) that puts the kitchen and place the water in front.

          This is because in the war era warriors kajang often enter the homes of residents to find food that is why the kitchen and where the urine is placed in front of the house not only that soldiers also do not see the child of the homeowner because the soldier assume whatever yamg are in the house is his .

They distanced themselves from anything related to the matters of modernization, economic activity and the government of Bulukumba Regency. Probably caused by indigenous peoples' relationships with their forest environment that always rely on the customary views of their traditional life.

The black color has meaning for the Ammatoa Society as a form of equality in everything, including the similarities in simplicity. there is no better black color between the one with the other.
