Questioner : Good afternoon, we are of mahasiswi UMS (Universitas Muhammadiyah Sorong)

Fakultas Keguruan dan Ilmu Pendidikan, majoring in English. Maybe we could have
asked for a short time to interview the father of the original culture of the father ?

Interviewees : I own the Moi tribe

Questioner : You can know who the father is, and how many family members ?

Interviewees : Yes, on behalf of Yonas Kalawen, in my family I have one wife, three children, one
father and one younger brother

Questioner : For the first question might be about marriage or application, usually before the
first marriage there must be a process of application, can you explain the
application process like what ?

Interviewees : Before I apologized, maybe I just took the outline for the point that I can't
explain. First, maybe first-time young people go through love first, if in the past it
was possible to pass matchmaking between parents and parents but now know
through love, then we parents regulate traditionally, like Minang and others and the
continuation process is stages that must be fulfilled. So the first stage is the first
minang, then how many times depends on the women's side, then until the three
stages and the minang goes on from there it can only enter the main event, namely
marriage.

Questioner : Can you explain these three stages, sir ?

Interviewees : The three stages depend on the woman's side as to what stages will be carried out,
but there are obligations that must be fulfilled from the male side such as visiting
women by carrying out assets by agreement of the first party's date, day, month to
carry out obligations that must be fulfilled like money, cloth and plates, and
machetes, if it's from my own custom. But now the traditional plates, and
traditional machetes have gone so we cannot take them as cultural customs , so we
are more practical to give money as the essence.

Questioner : If you know before that you mentioned about machetes, does the war have the
meaning of the three items you mentioned earlier ?

Interviewees : Parang if from the tribe of moi has a big meaning like in Biak for example hanging
plate with bracelet.

Questioner : From the marriage process itself, are there special preparations from the male
and female family ?

Interviewees : yes .. it all depends on the agreement of both parties, the course of the program
is like what ... the program will be carried out briefly or in detail in accordance with
the cultural rules .

Questioner : For the preparation of the wedding itself, what is it like? ?

Interviewees : The readiness depends on the women, whatever is requested must be fulfilled all
so that the time is a bit slow because as specified in the list, for example there are
 hanging plates , machetes , cloths and so on. All valuable cloth must be obtained so
that he re-consolidates the women's side that the man is ready to provide evidence
with the conditions fulfilled for the event.

Questioner : If there are items that cannot be fulfilled, will the event still continue?

Interviewees : That is the responsibility of the men in the future

Questioner : So the marriage process is more to the women as the determinant of the wedding
process ?

Interviewees : If customary events continue to run according to custom, unlike other tribes we
know the strengths and dimensions of the Moi people themselves , there is no need
to be as lively as it is that is important in accordance with traditional cultural values.

Questioner : If the preparation of both parties itself any ?

Interviewees : On the male side he is ready for requests from the women's side, if the woman
only prepares her food and drink because she gave the request.

Questioner :For the place of the wedding it is more on the side of women or men ?

Interviewees : From both parties all.

Questioner :Is there no special place in conducting weddings ?

Interviewees : Nothing ... usually the marriage happens from the male side.

Questioner :The process like any marriage ceremony ? Is there a special ritual or something ?

Interviewees : ritual customs until the marriage continues before the bride and groom meet first,
a traditional ritual ceremony is held outside .

Questioner : Like what the purpose and example of the wedding ceremony ?

Nar as umber : the traditional ceremony is like a woman's party before entering into the house of
a man who has been waiting inside, so the groom cant come out, so the one sent
out invites the female slave to enter are old elders who can read spells - cultural
mantras. So that there is a special white cloth that is used by parents, then the
women are invited to enter.

Questioner : then for the birth event is there a special event or ceremony specifically in the moi
tribe ?

Sources : If the child is born specifically in the moi tribe, maybe before leaving the place of
birth , we remember the rewards that must be given to the woman, but the amount
is not determined, as the father-in-law must accept the gift from the daughter-in-
law as is.

Questioner : then for the next question, what do you feel according to you , when you socialize
with people who are culturally different?
Interviewees : if I think the culture that exists in all of Indonesia is all the same in the eyes of the
nation there is no difference .

Questioner : Is it true that if there are new people who are not native people from here, how
do you socialize with people who are culturally different from you?

Interviewees : If the problem of adapting to outsiders, actually returning to the personality of

each person here, which should be what we need to do to adjust the
language we will use to communicate or socialize with outsiders.

Questioner : Is there an awkward feeling when socializing with outsiders?

Interviewees : No ... I here do not feel awkward when socialize with outsiders we assume we are
all the same no difference.

Questioner :Then for your own language in the family , what kind of language do you use ?

Interviewees : In here language we use mix-mix, sometimes there are Indonesian, Javanese, the
language of Manado, but if daily used herein are Indonesian, and if
with my family use local language (Moi)

Questioner : pestle for cultural values itself is usually what values are instilled in children in
spreading cultural life ?

Interviewees : Maybe we emphasize here lest the local language is lost or forgotten, because
languages were also including improved cultural needs in the family.

Questioner : K Then return to the culture itself, for the death event if there is a special event ?

Interviewees : If we talk about the matter of death we deal with the almighty , only after we are
buried again in the church again , because the event of the dead is not the same as
the program of those who rejoice.

Questioner :So there are no special events or rituals for people who die?

Interviewees : For special rituals, there is no only after the funeral there is a three-night event, we
make a spiritual event.

Questioner :For the next question as family head nas i hat what is usually the father gave to
father children so that they can retain their culture in the house?

Interviewees :As I have explained before, the language in any form must be maintained because
this language is passed down through generations

Questioner :Before I closed , I wanted to ask, sorry how old are you?

Interviewees :I'm 35 years old

Questioner :Maybe you can say good afternoon with Moi?

Interviewees :Good afternoon is usual De Wobok , want to eat nat . Maybe I explained that a
little of our Moi people were divided into 5 Moi tribes like Moi Klabr a, Moi Sigin,
 Moi Gilim, Moi Muasa and Moi Karan. So these 5 Moi tribes have different customs
and languages, except that the fabric is the same namely eastern cloth and folding
cloth. For my own culture, if in a forum there is any big problem if the cloth is down,
it means that the problem is considered complete, it is interpreted as a means of
payment.

Questioner :Yes, thank you for the time and opportunity that has been given to us by UM
Sorong students, if there is a word wrong we apologize.
