1
00:02:54,444 --> 00:03:01,305
This is a warning for next time you enter Bibikem.

2
00:03:01,305 --> 00:03:07,449
Maybe in different villages you can just enter and clear forest as you please.

3
00:03:07,449 --> 00:03:12,080
In other villagers maybe you can buy them based on how many logs.

4
00:03:12,080 --> 00:03:17,983
We also want to improve. But you must talk to us first before entering this forest.

5
00:03:31,678 --> 00:03:39,861
We support development. But you can't just take away our customary land.

6
00:03:39,923 --> 00:03:43,553
We've mapped out our lands. They are unwritten, but marked.

7
00:03:43,553 --> 00:03:47,471
We can live peacefully just by seeing those marks in the forest.

8
00:03:47,471 --> 00:03:52,548
We've mapped out lands according to the clans.

9
00:03:52,548 --> 00:03:56,195
One village to another.

10
00:03:56,195 --> 00:04:00,423
A creek can be the border between people's lands.

11
00:04:00,423 --> 00:04:03,766
There are many unwritten signs, but we all can recognise them.

12
00:04:03,766 --> 00:04:08,715
We know nature because we are close to it.

13
00:04:08,715 --> 00:04:16,374
We know which belongs to the Gebze clan, or the Awabalik clan, or the Moyuwend.

14
00:04:21,299 --> 00:04:25,659
Those trees border our areas.

15
00:04:25,659 --> 00:04:28,439
If you cut down those trees you will just create conflicts.

16
00:04:28,439 --> 00:04:32,465
Clans could kill each other if you remove the border signs.

17
00:04:32,481 --> 00:04:37,693
The forests and creeks are the signs given by our ancestors.

18
00:04:37,693 --> 00:04:39,879
We can tell between clans and families.

19
00:04:39,879 --> 00:04:42,146
Don't you just come here and lead us to conflicts.

20
00:04:42,146 --> 00:04:47,304
You flash your money to us, and that can lead to conflicts as well.

21
00:04:47,304 --> 00:04:53,224
Before people don't value trees with money, now they're beginning to see the monetary values.

22
00:04:53,224 --> 00:04:54,754
I warn you.

23
00:04:54,754 --> 00:04:57,572
Let's not kill each other because of the logs.

24
00:04:57,572 --> 00:04:59,398
Don't get me started on land issues.

25
00:07:32,022 --> 00:07:38,257
I used to paint the Mahuze clan. Sometimes people thought I'm a Mahuze.

26
00:07:56,213 --> 00:08:09,909
[Leo preaches]: The second reading: "As God has promised to David, a saviour will come from his ancestry".

27
00:08:26,808 --> 00:08:38,773
Here you can see the remains of old huts left by our ancestors hundreds or even thousands of years ago.

28
00:08:38,773 --> 00:08:45,075
This is a testimony that there's no more unclaimed lands here.

29
00:08:45,075 --> 00:08:50,425
Wherever you go, there are always land owners.

30
00:08:50,425 --> 00:08:57,308
They are bordered by villages, creeks, forests and the savanna.

31
00:08:57,308 --> 00:09:04,275
There's no unclaimed land. So whoever wants to enter must come and talk to us first.

32
00:09:04,275 --> 00:09:07,295
You must determine what's right and wrong.

33
00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:36,882
[Leo talks to the screening audience]: We try to explain about the changes we are trying to make in these videos.

34
00:09:36,882 --> 00:09:42,443
We learned together to make these videos.

35
00:10:10,912 --> 00:10:18,669
[Unlike most Marind] I still talk a lot because I grew up in the city and picked up that tradition.

36
00:10:19,946 --> 00:10:22,912
But the villagers they don't talk much.

37
00:10:22,912 --> 00:10:26,412
You're killing them by cutting down their trees.
