The place Laclubar is located in the mountainous interior of Timor at an altitude of 1120 m , almost 40 km as the crow flies southeast of the state capital Dili and almost 30 km southwest of the municipal capital Manatuto . The steep mountains form a small valley in the shape of a horseshoe around the center of the village in Suco Orlalan . The suburbs extend into the Suco Batara . Since the territorial reform of 2015, the settlements Bamatac and Lawado belong to Suco Orlalan, but the Aldeias with this name are located in Suco Funar further to the west. Forests with numerous small springs stretch out between the rugged mountains. A relatively well-developed road leads north towards Manatuto and south towards Soibada .
history
Laclubar was the center of an empire of the same name, which is first mentioned in 1868. In 1898 a Portuguese military post was established in Laclubar.
At the end of 1979 there was an Indonesian camp in Laclubar for East Timorese who were to be relocated by the Indonesian occupiers for better control.
Laclubar was burned down in parts during the Indonesian Operation Donner in 1999 and several pro-independence supporters were murdered.
Buildings and public facilities
Laclubar has three primary schools, a pre-secondary school, a helipad and a community health center. The Ordem Hospitalária de São João de Deus operates the Centro de Apoio à Saúde, a facility for people with mental illnesses. It has twelve stationary places.
Culture
Laclubar is the center of the Idaté , whose dialect belongs to the Austronesian Idalaka languages .
Many places such as springs, small caves, stones and hills are considered sacred ( idaté : lulik ) and are therefore taboo . They must not be visited in everyday life, as this is considered dangerous. Madness and death threaten. The most important holy places are Susuk , a deep hole in the ground at the foot of the mountains around Laclubar, and Orlau , a spring in the forest on the main road that leads into the town center. Coffee is grown in its fertile environment and there are fruit trees. Although the majority of the population are Catholics, these two places are still important ritual places today, as they are regarded as entrances to the spirit world (idaté: lalamatak ). The sanctity of these places is taken up in ceremonies and brought to the outside world, for example to end wars. Although holiness is considered female, it is not assigned to any personified deity.
According to the popular belief, one can encounter the spirits of the land (idaté: larek-nain ) in the holy places . They take the form of pythons , eels or humans. These can be beautiful women, but also foreigners (idaté: malae ) with white skin and red hair. “Larek-nain” can be both the name of the spirits in the holy places, but is also the name for the indigenous people of the country and their descendants, the “people of the country” or the “landowners”. These are always equated with their own ancestors (idaté: luli'ain ). A distinction is actually made between spirits, ancestors and holiness, but these three levels often merge in ceremonies. According to local beliefs, the presence of these three manifestations is what makes the country strong.
