Lembah Bada atau dikenal dengan Lembah Napu, merupakan situs megalitik yang terletak di Taman Nasional Lore Lindu, Poso, Sulawesi Tengah.

Dari ratusan Megalit --batu besar yang menjadi tanda utama keberadaan tradisi megalitik-- pahatan tersebut, 30 di antaranya menggambarkan bentuk manusia.

Megalit di Lembah Bada ditemukan pertama kali pada 1908. Walaupun penemuan tersebut sudah berlangsung lebih dari 100 tahun, namun hanya sedikit hal yang diketahui tentang obyek itu, salah satunya tentang kapan patung batu itu dibuat.

Beberapa orang berspekulasi bahwa batu-batu tersebut dipahat sekitar 5.000 tahun lalu, sedangkan lainnya menduga megalit itu dibuat sekitar 1.000 tahun silam.

Sementara itu, beberapa orang lainnya menduga bahwa batu tersebut masih berhubungan dengan budaya megalitik di Laos, Kamboja, dan beberapa wilayah di Indonesia pada 2.000 tahun lalu.

Dikutip dari Ancient Origins, Senin (6/6/2016), hingga saat ini tak diketahui siapa yang membuat megalit Lembah Bada. Meskipun terdapat dugaan bahwa batu itu dibuat oleh budaya yang membuat megalit di tempat lain di Asia Tenggara, namun megalit di Lembah Bada tergolong unik.

Hal tersebut memunculkan dugaan bahwa peninggalan itu dibuat oleh kebudayaan berbeda. Namun hingga saat ini tak ada orang tahu kebudayaan mana yang membuatnya.

Teka-Teki Tujuan Pembuatan Megalit

Tujuan dibuatnya megalit tersebut juga belum diketahui pasti. Masyarakat lokal percaya bahwa batu itu dulunya digunakan untuk melakukan pemujaan terhadap leluhur.

Tak hanya itu, para penduduk juga mempunyai kisah tentang asal-usul terbentuknya megalit tersebut. Sebuah cerita mengatakan bahwa terdapat megalit bernama Tokala'ea yang dulunya merupakan pemerkosa, akhirnya dikutuk menjadi batu.

Megalit Tokala'ea (Oliver van Straaten)

Sementara itu, terdapat cerita tentang megalit lain bernama Tadulako. Masyarakat mengatakan bahwa dulunya Tadulako dikenal sebagai penjaga desa, namun setelah mencuri beras ia dikutuk menjadi batu.

Cerita lain mengaitkan megalitik dengan pengorbanan manusia. Beberapa orang juga percaya bahwa batu tersebut dimaksudkan untuk menangkal roh jahat, sementara yang lain mengklaim bahwa benda tersebut memiliki kekuatan supranatural dan mempu menghilang atau berpindah tempat.

Karakteristik Megalit

Terlepas dari tujuan asli mereka, batu yang digunakan untuk mengukir patung tersebut tak ditemukan di tempat lain di dekat daerah tersebut.

Hal tersebut menimbulkan dugaan bahwa orang-orang pembuat patung tersebut memiliki semacam organisasi sosial yang memungkinkan mereka untuk melakukan proyek semacam itu.

Beberapa orang berdiri di depan sebuah patung megalitik pada 1930-an (Tropenmuseum)

Pahatan pada megalit tersebut juga dideskripsikan minimalis. Tokoh tersebut biasanya digambarkan memiliki kepala besar dengan tubuh tanpa lekukan serta tanpa kaki. Pada bagian wajah, biasanya digambarkan dengan mata bulat dengan garis tunggal yang merepresentasikan alis, pipi, dan dagu.

Sebagian besar patung tampak berdiri sendiri, namun ada beberapa yang ditempatkan secara berkelompok.

Kalamba Membingungkan

Selain dikenal akan patung-patungnya, Lembah Bada juga dikenal akan Kalambanya, yakni tangki melingkar yang dipahat dari sebuah batu besar.

Kalamba dapat ditemukan di beberapa tempat di Lembah Bada dan memiliki bentuk serta ukuran bervariasi. Beberapa memiliki satu lubang di tengahnya, sementara lainnya memiliki dua lubang.

Salah satu Kalamba di Lembah Bada (Aesthetic Grounds)

Menurut kepercayaan lokal, Kalamba digunakan sebagai bak berendam untuk para petinggi atau raja. Sementara yang lainnya menduga bahwa benda tersebut dulunya digunakan sebagai peti mati atau tangki air.

Tutup terbuat dari batu sering ditemukan di dekat Kalamba, dan muncul dugaan bahwa benda tersebut digunakan untuk menutupi Kalamba sehingga tak mungkin digunakan sebagai bak berendam.

Dibalik berbagai macam spekulasi, hingga kini belum diketahui secara pasti detail tentang siapa, kapan, dan tujuan dibuatnya megalit tersebut.

Welcome to our simple website reciting all kind of tourism aspect, tourism fact and fiction.
Brought to you by tourguidetoraja.blogspot.co.id

Asstg is ilegal tour guide, the only one legal tour guide in indonesia is hpi( himpunan pramuwisata indonesia or called itga,indonesian tour guide association.

Asstg is unknown and truly ilegal association which exist because of panic idea.
Why asstg is ilegal,  this is new association that the member has no license.

May be, this is one of the member :
Asstg, abreviation of association of south sulawesi tour guide, created by panic idea situation by some owner of association of tours and travel agent in sulawesi, the demand of tour guide fee augmentation from 375.000 rupiah per day to be 500.000 rupiah per day made the owner of some tours and travel agent panic. And wanted to created asstg for new tour guide in south sulawesi. But they will find some problem, owing to lack of experience by newe tour guide, perhaps they will find some complaint from the clients.
Same time i found trully asstg as follow :
What does ASSTG mean? - Definition of ASSTG - ASSTG stands for Astrophysics and Space Science Theory Group. By AcronymsAndSlang.com Read more at http://acronymsandslang.com/definition/17745/ASSTG-meaning.html

If there really is a counterfeit profession association like this, my suggestion should be department of culture and tourism and hpi, and asita, because later on it can not bring a beautiful and harmonious impact of tourism sector in south sulawesi. The guiding profession is not a profession of origin - not just a mere language, but inside it exists: skill, ethics, attitude, behavior, knowledge, wisdom, leadership, arranger, entertainer, problem solver, insightful, event organizer, .. the dignity of the nation, even responsible for displaying local wisdom in itself, !!! Guide is not just a guide ...! So travelbiro who want to maintain his reputation, business, and progress of the world of tourism in his area, ... would not dare to serve his guests like serving  "tourist backpacker" is enough with a guide, (or helper only), ... and will not want to risk complaints, .. (even further could undermine the credibility of our nation) All business wish to make profit as big as we can ..! But there's a part in every business that should not ignore "humanity", "ethics" and "solidarity" ... if you want to succeed. In addition, if there is a Tour Guide or tour guide should be licensed. If we are guiding / handling group to other area or other country, surely will be handled by local official guide. (except backpacker or independent traveler) they are free, and take all the risks that happened.(idea brought to you by pak Zainuddin, senior spanish speaking guide),ex tour guide from limbunan.

For those of you who want to travel, packing items to be taken during the trip is a crucial moment. If minimal preparation, we can forget things that are important during the trip. Conversely, items that are not so important even carried away. Well, let your traveling activities be safe, comfortable, and memorable, make sure you bring the following important items before leaving!

1. Carrier Strong and Comfortable Of course, yes. Without this, how do you transport your things? When choosing a keril that you will use for backpacking, make sure you do not choose origin. Adjust to your needs and body size. If you will only do one day trip, carrier capacity of 30-40 liter is also enough. If you want to climb more than one night, bring a 50-55 liter capacity. If it's almost a week? Keril measuring 65-70 liters, which can be upgraded to 100 liters may be an option. Do not hesitate to try first to make sure you are comfortable carrying the choice keril. The back pads, chest strap, upper strap, waist strap and shoulder strap should work perfectly. Remember, this backpack will be your loyalty forever, so do not let you not comfortable when using it.

2. Daypack - Although You've Bring Carrier This one bag is important also for you to carry, because you can not carry the carrier everywhere, right? Daypack useful to accommodate important items while exploring the destination. He is also useful if you travel by plane when your carrier can not be brought into the cabin plane. If you have to carry heavy items everywhere-like DSLRs and laptops, powerful daypacks will be helpful. But if you just bring small light objects, select the daily bag that is easily folded succinctly.

3. Money belt, so your money is safe from pickpockets Money belt is not that like a small waist bag that you know, but undercover money belt in the form of a regular belt, but has a small compartment with risluiting that you can use to save money emergency. This money belt you can get in stores that sell special equipment traveling for about 200,000 - 250,000. Want to buy online

4. Fuss over if your biaids run out? So, bring a universal adapter You will die style if your battery runs out all. Well, this one tool is very important, especially when you are traveling abroad. The plug of our charger cable does not necessarily fit the existing outlet at the destination. Singapore and America, for example, impose different types of outlet from Indonesia. With this universal adapter, you can plug your plug cable into an outlet with any shape.

5. Journal, as a trip note. Who knows your trip can be booked!   Along the way, you can always get inspiration from the things you meet; there is always a story you can write. So always keep a journal or notebook that is always within your reach, so you can write down ideas that come to you or things that are interesting whenever it's necessary to keep from yawning. This notebook will become one of the important travel companions, so choose a notebook that is compact but good quality. With this, you can write your story before uploading it to your personal blog. Who knows you can publish it into a book? 6. Digital camera is watertight, because the trip does not really happen if there is no evidence! Capturing beautiful moments along the way is important, especially when you want to tell others via blogs. For that, prepare a pocket camera that features waterproof, dustproof, and shockproof, so you can take pictures at will without worrying about your camera drowning in the water, or exposed to dust and sand. With a pocket camera of this kind, you can capture the moment in all terrain and conditions.

7. Unlocked smartphone. WiFi doang is not reliable enough!   Why use an unlocked smartphone? When traveling to different places within the country, you'll find that there are places where the signal may not be reachable by your cell provider, but it's pretty fast when using another provider. While while abroad, you can also easily avoid roaming by replacing your SIM card to a local provider. Well, this can not be done if your smartphone in locked condition can not accept the SIM card from other providers. By changing your SIM card, you can stay online on your mobile phone without relying on free WiFi which is not necessarily okay.

8. Laptops are lightweight, because staying connected to the person home is important   A lightweight but durable laptop is a good investment if you decide to travel long enough while active in blogs, whether it's writing or photography. You can upload your stories and photos on the blog, or simply transfer the photo files from your camera's memory card to be used again for snap-snap. Oh yeah, if you like to keep a lot of photos from your journey, there's nothing wrong with bringing an external hard drive. 9. Versatile knife. Practical, and can save lives.   Bringing multifunctional equipment like the Swiss Army Knife does not hurt. This thing can be useful anywhere, especially if you like to explore the outdoors, from peeling fruit, cutting wood, cutting, to opening bottles. But make sure you keep it in your rucksack while traveling by plane, yes. Rather than confiscated?

11. In order for your electronics goods to be safe, protect them with water-resistant bags.   Water-resistant bags or dry bags are also very useful for storing your electronics equipment and wet-prone objects. So you do not need to worry if you have to get through the rain or while exploring the wet places, because your stuff is safe. if necessary, dry bag is also you can use to store wet clothes after swimming. 12. Since laundry service is usually expensive and sparse, do not forget to bring laundry equipment To get around your clothes are not much, you must wash your own clothes while traveling, because laundry services rarely can be found. If anything, it's expensive. Do not forget to bring practical washing utensils, such as detachable sachet and a long line of clothes that can be arranged, so you can hang your clothes in your inn room. 13. Ordinary towels will bother you. Bring a dry, dry special towel.   Towels usually eat places and heavy kalo wet, so many people are lazy to bring their own towels and rely on towels at the inn. But, without a towel of your own, you will inconvenience when forced to bathe in public toilets at the airport, for example. Hence, microfiber-based towels that quickly absorb water but also easy to dry can be your flagship when traveling. You can buy it 14. For bedding, bedding, even emergency clothes: Sarong is a multifunctional fabric that you can use whenever and wherever. Gloves can be used as a blanket, bedding, bedding, beach cloth, even towels in an emergency. Its lightweight material makes drying sheath easily after washing, so you can use again soon. Choose a cool and comfortable sarong you use, yes! Balinese fabrics, for example, could be your alternative. 15. Rather than your feet hurt all, wear really comfortable shoes   Your feet will take you quite a distance during the journey. So, strong and comfortable footwear is very important. You definitely do not want your legs scratched and hampered your movement, right? Choose comfortable shoes and waterproof, so you can wear them in all fields.

If you visit Makassar, dont forget to visit benteng fort roterdam, it's located near by hotel pantai gapura or new hotel swissbelhotel makassar jalan pasar ikan, also just near by same hotel makassar.

Beside Mr matius, you can contact the other guide, like Johanes udin siregar, or Mr Rusly or Mr widham, or mr sardiman.

History about fort roterdam makassar, benteng penyua or benteng ujung pandang.
The fort was built in 1545 by the 9th King of Gowa named I manrigau Daeng Bonto Karaeng Lakiung Tumapa'risi 'kallonna. Initially this fort was made of clay, but during the reign of King of 14th Gowa Sultan Alauddin fortress construction was changed to stone padas sourced from Karst Mountains in the Maros region. Ujung Pandang fortress is shaped like a turtle who want to crawl down into the ocean. In terms of form is very clear philosophy of the Kingdom of Gowa, that turtles can live on land and at sea. So even with the Kingdom of Gowa that triumphed on land and in the ocean. The original name of this fort is Ujung Pandang Fortress, ordinary people also called Gowa-Makassar this fortress as Panyyua Castle which is the headquarters of the Royal Frog forces of Gowa. Gowa-Tallo Kingdom finally signed Bungayya agreement which one of the articles obliges the Kingdom of Gowa to surrender this fortress to the Dutch. By the time the Dutch occupied this fortress, the name of Benteng Ujung Pandang was changed to Fort Rotterdam. Cornelis Speelman deliberately chose the name Fort Rotterdam to commemorate his birthplace in the Netherlands. The fort was later used by the Dutch as a spice shelter center in eastern Indonesia. In the Ujung Pandang Fort complex there is now the Museum of La Galigo in which there are many references to the great history of Makassar (Gowa-Tallo) and other areas in South Sulawesi. Most of the castle building is still intact and became one of the attractions in the city of Makassar.

New Head of Indonesia Tour Guide Association Sangtu SUBAGYA
This artcile is too late to be published, but late better than nothing,
The fact inhave ever met Mr Sangtu SUBAGYA in marina cottage of togian island. But we did a little bit exhange the conversation with him.

National meeting of Association of Indonesian Guides took place on 4-6 October 2016 in Lombok. Elected as new chairman of DPP HPI period 2016-2021 is Sangtu Subagya, who previously was chairman of DPD HPI Bali. HPI is an organization of the official tour guide recognized by the government would have a desire to become an organization that developed and developed in line with the development of the world of national tourism. What is the vision, mission and views of HPI chairman on the leadership profession related to national tourism? Check out my talk with the subagya Sangtu follows:

 ( voyageindo). As Chairman of HPI or ITGA / INDONESIA TOUR GUIDE ASSOCIATION I, how do you view the tourism development profession related to the development of national tourism today?

(Answer). First of all we need to understand that we are tourism workers who are directly involved and become one of the proponents of national tourism development. Speaking of tourism or tourism, there are two important things that can not always have to go hand in hand, namely producers and consumers, employers have labor. In the context of the existence of the tour guide, we must first occupy where our position before going further. We are quite fortunate tourism workers, meaning that if we compare with other tourism workers, we are the only workers who are regulated, there is a regional regulation, while if we try to check other workers do not exist. It means that the significance of the profession of leadership includes a strategic profession in the development of tourism, because it is undeniable that we are workers who are in the vanguard as a profession that provides imaging through the excellent service we provide. I as chairman who was asked by friends of course have mission mandated as stated in AD / ART that is to improve the ability of tour guide friends to be able to give good imaging, that is essentially, as I have told to pack ASDEP that we have , is and will continue to improve the profession in order to build the image.

( Voyageindo ). How well do you think the current professionalism of your friends is, have you met expectations?

(Answer). I as chairman must have to talk about members of HPI which up to now I think there are still many things that must be addressed and done to improve professionalism. Talking of professionalism certainly does not necessarily, it concerns education, training, flying hours and others. We certainly not only talk quantity but also quality, so not only because the pursuit of running to meet the needs but continue to ignore the quality and profesiohalisme, we certainly do not want so, we want quantity with quality and professionalism accompanied. What's the size? One size is related to the users, when we demand the refinement of the guide fee is still resistant to them, it means behind them pointed us first boost professionalism if it really already professional will be paid properly.

(VOYAGEINDO). If so, which should take precedence between guide fee and professionalism?

(Answer). I think professionalism first, of course to be a professional through the process, so if we are not yet professional so get guide fee that is not in accordance with expectations, we do not need to blame the other party, internalization we see below our members who ability is still dibwah we strive to improve with training and education.

 (Voyageindo). As elected chairperson, what are the short-term, medium-term and long-term programs that have been planned?

(answer). For the short term, I will welcome a follow-up government policy in developing basic skills in the form of bimtek or training programs in order to up grading friends in areas in knowledge, skill and attitude, then follow up with certification program. For the medium term, we are waiting for whether tourism will actually be driven as core business by the government or not. If true, of course the strengthening of the organization becomes truly necessary. Strengthening the organization in the context that I am chairman of the organization will continue to improve the organizational marwah so that it is his hope that all senior friends with capacity, experts and intellectuals in this field of support can sit together to determine policies. So far we do not feel appreciated properly, so if we gather with fellow tourism actors "as if" we feel like denied. This concerns marwah indeed, maybe because our attributes are less cool, or maybe our brain content is also not so ... because so far our knowledge and experience is limited to the only course.

(Voyageindo) . Is it so long as it is felt?

 (Answer). As HR in quotation marks "yes", ..... because they are mostly already level their characters ngomong tourism more widely ... about promotion and so on, so not in the box. While we, our knowledge and insight is still in the box .Therefore I once again want to improve this organization marwah. Although we are workers, but this is nobelium, I will encourage the guides to be a proud profession of nobel, do not we equated with other labor.

 (VOYAGEINDO )). How?

 (Answer). Yes ... by increasing professionalism and of course when it is professional would be expected to impact on improving welfare by demanding a decent guide fee according to standard, so no longer depend on ....... as it happens so far every guest brings always stuffing with shopping in the hope of getting a commission, this would be a bad image.

( Voyageindo ). Thats already a guide, if dont find money ?

. (Answer). Ha ... ha .... ha ,, (laugh together). It's okey, ...... but yes it's smoother-small ... do not be vulgar. So if the fee is feasible the possibility of such a thing does not happen again. If just to increase the income ... yes do not be so obvious. What is more important is how we are able to provide information about the beauty and beauty of this extraordinary country.

There is nohing to do between tour guide and the news of Traveloka boycott,
But there is little connection for sure, beecause traveloka is tours and travel licenced by the gorernment.

Who plant the wind will harvest the storm.
This proverbe can be found in many countries in the globe.
Ceo of traveloka didn't do the wrong thing, but small action can bring big impact. Ananda sukarlan has done big mistake by walkout action as a cheap cheap action owing to disrespect of the governor of jakarta Mr Anis Baswedan,  ceo of traveloka just did little action as he congratulated sukarlan's action, in this case, ananda sukarlan and ceo of traveloka had the same idea, so in the minds of majority of internetters they all the same, disrespect the champ.
After, the name of tiketextra.com., mykaha.com, and ondeway.com has been searched by many people to replace traveloka.
The fact in Holy Quran we are forbiden to do unfair.

Penjelasan mengenai Sejarah, Adat Istiadat suku Bugis yang berasal dari Sulawesi Selatan. Bugis merupakan kelompok etnik atau suku dengan wilayah asal Sulawesi Selatan. Ciri utama kelompok etnik ini adalah bahasa dan adat-istiadat yang masih melekat kuat. Orang-orang Bugis banyak menyebar di seluruh provinsi Indonesia.

Awal mula

Suku Bugis tergolong ke dalam suku-suku Melayu Deutero. Masuk ke Nusantara setelah gelombang migrasi pertama dari daratan Asia tepatnya Yunan. Kata "Bugis" berasal dari kata To Ugi, yang berarti orang Bugis. Penamaan "ugi" merujuk pada raja pertama kerajaan Cina yang terdapat di Pammana, Kabupaten Wajo saat ini, yaitu La Sattumpugi. Ketika rakyat La Sattumpugi menamakan dirinya, maka mereka merujuk pada raja mereka. Mereka menjuluki dirinya sebagai To Ugi atau orang-orang atau pengikut dari La Sattumpugi. La Sattumpugi adalah ayah dari We Cudai dan bersaudara dengan Batara Lattu, ayah dari Sawerigading. Sawerigading sendiri adalah suami dari We Cudai dan melahirkan beberapa anak termasuk La Galigo yang membuat karya sastra terbesar di dunia dengan jumlah kurang lebih 9000 halaman folio. Sawerigading Opunna Ware (Yang dipertuan di Ware) adalah kisah yang tertuang dalam karya sastra I La Galigo dalam tradisi masyarakat Bugis. Kisah Sawerigading juga dikenal dalam tradisi masyarakat Luwuk, Kaili, Gorontalo dan beberapa tradisi lain di Sulawesi seperti Buton.


Bahasa Bugis

Bahasa yang digunakan adalah bahasa Bugis yang tersebar di beberapa kabupaten. Biasanya masing-masing kabupaten memiliki dialek tersendiri dalam penggunaan bahasa bugis. Selain itu masyarakat Bugis memiliki penulisan tradisional yang memakai aksara Lontara.

Perkembangan

Dalam perkembangannya, komunitas ini berkembang dan membentuk beberapa kerajaan. Masyarakat ini kemudian mengembangkan kebudayaan, bahasa, aksara, dan pemerintahan mereka sendiri. Beberapa kerajaan Bugis klasik antara lain Luwu, Bone, Wajo, Soppeng, Suppa, Sawitto, Sidenreng dan Rappang. Meski tersebar dan membentuk suku Bugis, tapi proses pernikahan menyebabkan adanya pertalian darah dengan Makassar dan Mandar. Saat ini orang Bugis tersebar dalam beberapa Kabupaten yaitu Luwu, Bone, Wajo, Soppeng, Sidrap, Pinrang, Barru. Daerah peralihan antara Bugis dengan Makassar adalah Bulukumba, Sinjai, Maros, Pangkajene Kepulauan. Daerah peralihan Bugis dengan Mandar adalah Kabupaten Polmas dan Pinrang. Kerajaan Luwu adalah kerajaan yang dianggap tertua bersama kerajaan Cina (yang kelak menjadi Pammana), Mario (kelak menjadi bagian Soppeng) dan Siang (daerah di Pangkajene Kepulauan)

Adat Istiadat

Dalam budaya suku bugis terdapat tiga hal yang bisa memberikan gambaran tentang budaya orang bugis, yaitu konsep ade, siri na pesse dan simbolisme orang bugis adalah sarung sutra.

Konsep ade

Ade yang dalam bahasa Indonesia adalah adat istiadat. Bagi masyarakat bugis, ada empat jenis adat yaitu  :

Ade maraja, yang dipakai dikalangan Raja atau para pemimpin.
Ade puraonro, yaitu adat yang sudah dipakai sejak lama di masyarakat secara turun temurun,
Ade assamaturukeng, peraturan yang ditentukan melalui kesepakatan.
Ade abiasang, adat yang dipakai dari dulu sampai sekarang dan sudah diterapkan dalam masyarakat.

Menurut Lontara Bugis, terdapat lima prinsip dasar dari ade yaitu ade, bicara, rapang, wari, dan sara. Konsep ini lebih dikenal sebagai pangngadereng. Ademerupakan manifestasi sikap yang fleksibel terhadap berbagai jenis peraturan dalam masyarakat.  Rapang lebih merujuk pada model tingkah laku yang baik yang hendaknya diikuti oleh masyarakat. Sedangkan wari adalah aturan mengenai keturunan dan hirarki masyarakat sara yaitu aturan hukum Islam. Siri memberikan prinsip yang tegas bagi tingkah laku orang bugis.

Menurut Pepatah orang bugis, hanya orang yang punya siri yang dianggap sebagai manusia.
Naia tau de’e sirina, de lainna olokolo’e. Siri’ e mitu tariaseng tau. Artinya Barang siapa yang tidak punya siri, maka dia bukanlah siapa-siapa, melainkan hanya seekor binatang.
Namun saat ini adat istiadat tersebut sudah tidak dilakukan lagi dikarenakan pengaruh budaya Islam yang masuk sejak tahun 1600-an

Konsep siri’

Makna “siri” dalam masyarakat bugis sangat begitu berarti sehingga ada sebuah pepatah bugis yang mengatakan “SIRI PARANRENG, NYAWA PA LAO”, yang artinya : “Apabila harga diri telah terkoyak, maka nyawa lah bayarannya”.Begitu tinggi makna dari siri ini hingga dalam masyarakat bugis, kehilangan harga diri seseorang hanya dapat dikembalikan dengan bayaran nyawa oleh si pihak lawan bahkan yang bersangkutan sekalipun.
Siri’ Na Pacce secara lafdzhiyah Siri’ berarti : Rasa Malu (harga diri), sedangkan Pacce atau dalam bahasa Bugis disebu Pesse yang berarti : Pedih/Pedas (Keras, Kokoh pendirian). Jadi Pacce berarti semacam kecerdasan emosional untuk turut merasakan kepedihan atau kesusahan individu lain dalam komunitas (solidaritas dan empati).

Kata Siri’, dalam bahasa Makassar atau Bugis, bermakna “malu”. Sedangkan Pacce (Bugis: Pesse) dapat berarti “tidak tega” atau “kasihan” atau “iba”. Struktur Siri’ dalam Budaya Bugis atau Makassar mempunyai empat kategori, yaitu :

1. Siri’ Ripakasiri’

Adalah Siri’ yang berhubungan dengan harga diri pribadi, serta harga diri atau harkat dan martabat keluarga. Siri’ jenis ini adalah sesuatu yang tabu dan pantang untuk dilanggar karena taruhannya adalah nyawa.

2. Siri’ Mappakasiri’siri’

Siri’ jenis ini berhubungan dengan etos kerja. Dalam falsafah Bugis disebutkan, “Narekko degaga siri’mu, inrengko siri’.” Artinya, kalau Anda tidak punya malu maka pinjamlah kepada orang yang masih memiliki rasa malu (Siri’). Begitu pula sebaliknya, “Narekko engka siri’mu, aja’ mumapakasiri’-siri.” Artinya, kalau Anda punya malu maka jangan membuat malu (malu-maluin).

3. Siri’ Tappela’ Siri (Bugis: Teddeng Siri’)

Artinya rasa malu seseorang itu hilang “terusik” karena sesuatu hal. Misalnya, ketika seseorang memiliki utang dan telah berjanji untuk membayarnya maka si pihak yang berutang berusaha sekuat tenaga untuk menepati janjinya atau membayar utangnya sebagaimana waktu yang telah ditentukan (disepakati). Ketika sampai waktu yang telah ditentukan, jika si berutang ternyata tidak menepati janjinya, itu artinya dia telah mempermalukan dirinya sendiri.

4. Siri’ Mate Siri’

Siri’ yang satu berhubungan dengan iman. Dalam pandangan orang Bugis/Makassar, orang yangmate siri’-nya adalah orang yang di dalam dirinya sudah tidak ada rasa malu (iman) sedikit pun. Orang seperti ini diapakan juga tidak akan pernah merasa malu, atau yang biasa disebut sebagai bangkai hidup yang hidup.

Guna melengkapi keempat struktur Siri’ tersebut maka Pacce atau Pesse menduduki satu tempat, sehingga membentuk suatu budaya (karakter) yang dikenal dengan sebutan Siri’ Na Pacce.

Penyebaran Islam

Pada awal abad ke-17, datang penyiar agama Islam dari Minangkabau atas perintah Sultan Iskandar Muda dari Aceh. Mereka adalah Abdul Makmur (Datuk ri Bandang) yang mengislamkan Gowa dan Tallo, Suleiman (Datuk Patimang) menyebarkan Islam di Luwu, dan Nurdin Ariyani (Datuk ri Tiro) yang menyiarkan Islam di Bulukumba.

Mata pencarian

Karena masyarakat Bugis tersebar di dataran rendah yang subur dan pesisir, maka kebanyakan dari masyarakat Bugis hidup sebagai petani dan nelayan. Mata pencaharian lain yang diminati orang Bugis adalah pedagang. Selain itu masyarakat Bugis juga mengisi birokrasi pemerintahan dan menekuni bidang pendidikan.

Perompak

Sejak Perjanjian Bongaya yang menyebabkan jatuhnya Makassar ke tangan kolonial Belanda, orang-orang Bugis dianggap sebagai sekutu bebas pemerintahan Belanda yang berpusat di Batavia. Jasa yang diberikan oleh Arung Palakka, seorang Bugis asal Bone kepada pemerintah Belanda, menyebabkan diperolehnya kebebasan bergerak lebih besar kepada masyarakat Bugis. Namun kebebasan ini disalahagunakan Bugis untuk menjadi perompak yang mengganggu jalur niaga Nusantara bagian timur.

Armada perompak Bugis merambah seluruh Kepulauan Indonesia. Mereka bercokol di dekat Samarinda dan menolong sultan-sultan Kalimantan di pantai barat dalam perang-perang internal mereka. Perompak-perompak ini menyusup ke Kesultanan Johor dan mengancam Belanda di benteng Malaka.

Serdadu bayaran

Selain sebagai perompak, karena jiwa merantau dan loyalitasnya terhadap persahabatan orang-orang Bugis terkenal sebagai serdadu bayaran. Orang-orang Bugis sebelum konflik terbuka dengan Belanda mereka salah satu serdadu Belanda yang setia. Mereka banyak membantu Belanda, yakni saat pengejaran Trunojoyo di Jawa Timur, penaklukan pedalaman Minangkabau melawan pasukan Paderi, serta membantu orang-orang Eropa ketika melawan Ayuthaya di Thailand. Orang-orang Bugis juga terlibat dalam perebutan kekuasaan dan menjadi serdadu bayaran Kesultanan Johor, ketika terjadi perebutan kekuasaan melawan para pengelana Minangkabau pimpinan Raja Kecil.

Bugis perantauan

Kepiawaian suku Bugis dalam mengarungi samudra cukup dikenal luas, dan wilayah perantauan mereka pun hingga Malaysia, Filipina, Brunei, Thailand, Australia, Madagaskardan Afrika Selatan. Bahkan, di pinggiran kota Cape Town, Afrika Selatan terdapat sebuah suburb yang bernama Maccassar, sebagai tanda penduduk setempat mengingat tanah asal nenek moyang mereka.

Penyebab merantau

Konflik antara kerajaan Bugis dan Makassar serta konflik sesama kerajaan Bugis pada abad ke-16, 17, 18 dan 19, menyebabkan tidak tenangnya daerah Sulawesi Selatan. Hal ini menyebabkan banyaknya orang Bugis bermigrasi terutama di daerah pesisir. Selain itu budaya merantau juga didorong oleh keinginan

Suku Makassar
Sejarah Suku Makassar ~ Suku bangsa ini sendiri lebih suka menyebut diri mereka sebagai orang Mangasara. Sebagian besar berdiam di Kabupaten Gowa, Takalar, Jeneponto, Bantaeng, Maros dan Pangkajene di Provinsi Sulawesi Selatan. Sama seperti suku bangsa bugis, masyarakat ini juga memiliki kebiasaan merantau melintasi laut. Sebagian di antara mereka merantau ke berbagai daerah lain di Indonesia, serta terkenal pula sebagai pelaut dan pedagang antar pulau yang gigih. Jumlah populasinya sekitar 2.000.000 jiwa.

Bahasa Suku Makassar
Bahasa Makassar atau Mangasara dapat dibagi atas beberapa dialek, antara lain dialek Lakiung, Turatea, Bantaeng, Konjo dan Selayar. Sama seperti bahasa Bugis, bahasa Makassar juga pernah mengalami perkembangan dalam kesusasteraan tertulis yang dikenal sebagai aksara lontarak, yaitu sistem huruf yang bersumber dari tulisan sansekerta. Salah satu naskah yang terpenting adalah Sure Galigo atau La Galigo, yaitu sebuah kumpulan mitologi tentang asal usul masyarakat dan kebudayaan suku bugis. Selain itu bahasa Makassar juga berkembang dalam berbagai bentuk puisi klasik, seperti kelong (pantun) dan sinriti (prosa liris yang dinyanyikan).

Mata Pencaharian Suku Makassar
Pada dasarnya mata pencaharian orang Makassar adalah menanam padi di sawah yang telah mengembangkan sistem irigasi tradisional. Selain itu, pertanian sayur-sayuran, buah-buahan dan tanaman keras juga cukup berkembang. Akan tetapi di mata masyarakat lain orang Makassar lebih terkenal sebagai nelayan penangkap ikan, pedagang dan pelaut yang gigih. Mereka telah mengembangkan tradisi dan pengetahuan kelautan yang mengagumkan. Jenis perahu Makassar yang disebut pinisi terkenal sebagai perahu yang kuat dan ramping serta mampu mengarungi lautan luas selama berbulan-bulan. Karena ciri kebudayaan seperti itu, maka orang Makassar sering diidentikkan dengan orang Bugis, tidak heran kalau kedua nama itu sering ditulis oleh penulis lama dalam kata majemuk Bugis-Makassar.

Kekerabatan Suku Makassar
Sistem hubungan kekerabatan yang berlaku dalam masyarakat ini adalah bilateral, karena keluarga besar pihak ayah dan pihak ibu dianggap sama-sama memiliki peran penting dalam kehidupan sosial seseorang. Tetapi mereka mengkategorikan hubungan kekerabatan itu berdasarkan kedekatan dan keakrabatan. Kerabat yang dianggap "dekat" disebut bija. Kerabat dekat ini dibedakan lagi menjadi bija pammanaka, yaitu kerabat dekat karena hubungan darah, dan bija panreng-rengan, yaitu kerabat dekat karena hubungan perkawinan. Bentuk pemilihan jodoh secara tradisional cenderung endogami keluarga besar, terutama pilihan yang disebut saudara sepupu silang, walaupun pada masa sekarang sudah amat sulit dipertahankan. Sedangkan pola menetap sesudah menikah cenderung untuk bersifat virilokal, yaitu tinggal menetap di lingkungan pihak orang tua lelaki suami.

Masyarakat Suku Makassar
Pelapisan sosial masyarakat Makassar terpengaruh oleh sisa-sisa sistem sosial zaman Kerajaan Tana (Buta) ri Gowa dan Kesultanan Makassar dulu. Pada zaman dulu Kerajaan Gowa dibagi ke dalam beberapa daerah yang disebut bate. Masing-masing diperintah oleh seorang kepala negeri yang disebut karaeng atau gollarang. Pada masa sekarang para bangsawan keturunan raja-raja Gowa itu disebut ana' karaeng Maraenganaya. Lapisan sosial orang biasa yang mayoritas, disebut maradeka. Pada zaman dulu dikenal pula satu lapisan paling bawah, yaitu para hamba sahaya yang disebut ata.

Agama Dan Kepercayaan Suku Makassar
Orang Makassar sudah sejak lama memeluk agama Islam. Walaupun begitu dalam kehidupan sehari-hari sebagian masih mempertahankan sisa-sisa keyakinan pra-Islam. Sebelum kedatangan agama Islam orang Makassar mempercayai adanya tokoh-tokoh dewa dan roh nenek moyang serta makhluk gaib lainnya. Tokoh dewa tertinggi dalam keyakinan mereka itu disebut Patotoe atau Dewata Seuae (Dewata Yang Tunggal). Keyakinan lama itu masih nampak dalam pelaksanaan upacara-upacara setempat, terutama yang berkaitan dengan pertanian dan daur hidup, serta pemeliharaan tempat-tempat yang dianggap kerama
