Ili-Mano ( Ilimano ) is an East Timorese settlement and Aldeia in Suco Uma Caduac ( Laclo administrative office , Manaturo municipality ).
Surname
The name is derived from the local language Dadu'a and means "bird mountain".
geography
The settlement of Ili-Mano is located on the north coast of Timor , on the road from the state capital Dili in the west and the municipal capital Manatuto in the east. Neighboring settlements are Huiali in the west and Ossun in the east. Ili-Mano is part of the Important Bird Area , the center of which is the Curi Mountain , which lies southeast of Ili-Mano.
The surrounding area consists of dry, stony and steep hills. Only a thin layer of earth covers the local limestone.
Residents
According to the 2015 census, a total of 2298 people live in Aldeia Ili-Mano, which also includes neighboring settlements (probably the entire coast of the Sucos), 1200 of whom are men and 1098 women. That is two thirds of the total population of the sucos Uma Carduac. Aldeia has 328 households.
The members of the Aldeia differ linguistically and culturally, so that they are also listed as a separate ethnic group of the Ilimano . The original language of the region is Dadu'a. It is a dialect of Wetar that emigrants brought from the island of Atauro to Ili-Mano and Behedan and is now spoken here by their descendants.
Traditionally there are both houses in which only the nuclear family lives ( uma kaen ) and houses that accommodate entire extended families ( uma naruk ). In the small family, the man takes on the daily work in the fields, fishing, palm wine production, the procurement of bamboo and keeping the cattle. The woman is responsible for the work in the house, as well as sowing, harvesting and raising goats, pigs and chickens. At the wedding, the man has to pay bridal money ( barlaki ), but both families exchange gifts, which should represent the bond of the new relatives. Siblings and their uma kaen form larger groups called kaen waki . Family clans are led by the huhun lidun , the tribe by a katuas . This is supported by an advisory board ( ambaba ) in order to be able to consider the suggestions of the clan chiefs. Traditionally, Ili-mano is subordinate to the Liurai of Laclo .
Most of the inhabitants of Ili-Mano are Catholics today, but only a few decades ago the old animistic beliefs dominated, which is related to the rites of the neighboring groups ( see also: Traditional religion of Timor ). The traditional religious leader is called the obun . In addition to the obun , as a mediator with the spirits, there is also the babaraen , who helps with diseases that arise from disturbance of the spirits. People who harm others through magic are called buan . Spirits and everything that has supernatural powers is considered sacred ( lulik ). The highest spirits are Maromak , who guides the spirits of the dead, and the spirits called Raenaen . Ceremonies were held in the holy houses, the Uma Luliks . According to the old belief, every person has a soul ( bian ). When the soul leaves the body, it is called klamar . The lifeless body is called a matebian . The klamar passes over into the spirit world of tutuna , on the top of the highest mountain.
history
The inhabitants of Ili-Mano describe themselves as the descendants of the king of the mountain ( aran huhun ), who is said to have ruled the region around the Curi. According to tradition, people lived in caves and used stone tools for hunting. The clothes were made from tree bark. The men wore a loincloth ( lahat ) and the women a shawl ( sabulu ). Fire was kindled with flint and palm leaves. Later houses were built from bamboo and straw. The roofs were made of palm leaves. During this time, agriculture began and cattle was taken over from neighboring groups. In the sea fish were hunted with spears and bows and arrows.
A battalion headquarters of the Indonesian army was located in Ili-Mano during the Indonesian occupation.
Economy and Infrastructure
Despite the poor soil, manioc, taro, bananas, coconuts, papayas, mangos and walnuts are harvested. Goats, sheep, buffaloes, pigs and horses serve as farm animals. Hunting for meat in the past is now illegal.
There is a primary school in Ili-Mano.
