Mythologies of the Tatusan Tribes


Tatusan Tribe, which is composed of 220 student dancers, will depict the unique culture and rich fishing livelihood of the people in the town of Caluya. Tatusan then refers to the abundant coconut crabs that could be found in the island of Caluya and are sold expensively being a delicacy. The Tatusan Tribe of the island municipality of Caluya, the grand champion in last year’s Binirayan Festival Malay-Ati competition, will be representing Antique province in the Aliwan Festival in Manila this April 28. Antique Governor Rhodora J. Cadiao, in her message delivered during the pre-performance of the Tatusan Tribe at the capitol ground on Wednesday, said that Tatusan has been invited to the Aliwan Festival. Aliwan is a yearly big event of the Department of Tourism to showcase major festivals in the country. Cadiao also pledged to give her all-out support to the performers of the Tatusan who will be bound for Manila on April 21. “This is also a manifestation of the unity of the leaders in the province,” she said. The governor, who lost only in Caluya during the last election, said this noting the presence of Caluya Mayor Genevive Lim and her Vice Mayor Diosdado Egina who were also giving strong support during the pre-performance of the Tatusan Tribe members.


Tribu Tatusan, named after “tatus,” a blue-striped crab, defended its crown. Its performers depicted giant crabs while those of Guimaras featured large mangoes, the province’s main attraction.

Mythologies of the Pirahã Tribe

Image
This Piraha Tribe of Brazil was initially a sub group of the Mura Tribe who lived deeper in the forest. They separated from the Mura Tribe in the early 1700's and have long since chosen isolation. The Piraha tribe opts not to embrace the benefits of modern civilization, instead choosing to engage in trade with neighboring communities, which, in turn, craft boats for them. The sole adjustment they have embraced involves donning garments crafted by themselves.  The Pirahã are supremely gifted in all the ways necessary to ensure their continued survival in the jungle: they know the usefulness and location of all important plants in their area; they understand the behavior of local animals and how to catch and avoid them; and they can walk into the jungle naked, with no tools or weapons, and walk out three days later with baskets of fruit, nuts, and small game. The Pirahã call themselves hiaitsiihi, a category of human beings or bodies (ibiisi) that differentiates them from Whites an
