The Charm of Indonesia's Indigenous Tribes' Philosophical Meanings

Did you know that Indonesia was chosen to host World Tourism Day (WTD) in 2022? The award as host is inseparable from the government's efforts to continue to introduce Indonesia's tourism potential, which is rich in the values and culture of each indigenous tribe from Sabang to Merauke. From art tools, traditional traditions, to exotic traditional tourist destinations.

       But actually, the wealth of values and culture passed down from generation to generation is not only in the form of objects or traditional traditions. There are also philosophies that are interpreted as the view of life of our ancestors, which are expected to be a provision for the next generation of the nation to live a harmonious life. From thousands of philosophies that are preserved into routine habits in daily activities, we present some explanations of 6 philosophies of Indonesian tribes, maybe one of them you recognize! Let's take a look at the following review:
