WEBVTT 00:02:54.444 --> 00:03:01.305 This is a warning for next time you enter Bibikem. 00:03:01.305 --> 00:03:07.449 Maybe in different villages you can just enter and clear forest as you please. 00:03:07.449 --> 00:03:12.080 In other villagers maybe you can buy them based on how many logs. 00:03:12.080 --> 00:03:17.983 We also want to improve. But you must talk to us first before entering this forest. 00:03:31.678 --> 00:03:39.861 We support development. But you can't just take away our customary land. 00:03:39.923 --> 00:03:43.553 We've mapped out our lands. They are unwritten, but marked. 00:03:43.553 --> 00:03:47.471 We can live peacefully just by seeing those marks in the forest. 00:03:47.471 --> 00:03:52.548 We've mapped out lands according to the clans. 00:03:52.548 --> 00:03:56.195 One village to another. 00:03:56.195 --> 00:04:00.423 A creek can be the border between people's lands. 00:04:00.423 --> 00:04:03.766 There are many unwritten signs, but we all can recognise them. 00:04:03.766 --> 00:04:08.715 We know nature because we are close to it. 00:04:08.715 --> 00:04:16.374 We know which belongs to the Gebze clan, or the Awabalik clan, or the Moyuwend. 00:04:21.299 --> 00:04:25.659 Those trees border our areas. 00:04:25.659 --> 00:04:28.439 If you cut down those trees you will just create conflicts. 00:04:28.439 --> 00:04:32.465 Clans could kill each other if you remove the border signs. 00:04:32.481 --> 00:04:37.693 The forests and creeks are the signs given by our ancestors. 00:04:37.693 --> 00:04:39.879 We can tell between clans and families. 00:04:39.879 --> 00:04:42.146 Don't you just come here and lead us to conflicts. 00:04:42.146 --> 00:04:47.304 You flash your money to us, and that can lead to conflicts as well. 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. 00:04:53.224 --> 00:04:54.754 I warn you. 00:04:54.754 --> 00:04:57.572 Let's not kill each other because of the logs. 00:04:57.572 --> 00:04:59.398 Don't get me started on land issues. 00:07:32.022 --> 00:07:38.257 I used to paint the Mahuze clan. Sometimes people thought I'm a Mahuze. 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". 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. 00:08:38.773 --> 00:08:45.075 This is a testimony that there's no more unclaimed lands here. 00:08:45.075 --> 00:08:50.425 Wherever you go, there are always land owners. 00:08:50.425 --> 00:08:57.308 They are bordered by villages, creeks, forests and the savanna. 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. 00:09:04.275 --> 00:09:07.295 You must determine what's right and wrong. 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. 00:09:36.882 --> 00:09:42.443 We learned together to make these videos. 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. 00:10:19.946 --> 00:10:22.912 But the villagers they don't talk much. 00:10:22.912 --> 00:10:26.412 You're killing them by cutting down their trees.
