Lords of the land, lords of the sea focuses on two centuries of contacts between the indigenous polities on Timor and the early colonials, and covers the period 1600-1800. In contrast with most previous studies, the book treats Timor as a historical region in its own right, using a wide array of Dutch, Portuguese and other original sources, which are compared with the comprehensive corpus of oral tradition recorded on the island. From this rich material, a lively picture emerges of life and death in early Timorese society, the forms of trade, slavery, warfare, alliances, social life. The investigation demonstrates that the European groups, although having a role as ordering political forces, were only part of the political landscape of Timor. They relied on alliances where the distinction between ally and vassal was moot, and led to frequent conflicts and uprisings. During a slow and complicated process, the often turbulent political conditions involving Europeans, Eurasians, and Hans Hägerdal Timorese polities, paved the way for the later division of Timor into two spheres of roughly equal size. Hans Hägerdal (1960) is a Senior Lecturer in History at the Linnaeus University, Sweden. He has written extensively on East and Southeast Asian history. Among his publications is Hindu rulers, Muslim subjects: Lombok and Bali in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries (2001).

The subject is not entirely new, for many good historians have taken up their pen and delved into the intricate history of the island. What is still needed, however, and what this book tries to achieve, is a comprehensive discus- sion that takes into account the entire island – what is today known as Indonesian Timor or Timor Leste. An account that traces both indige- nous as well as colonial interests; a study which fully uses the rich archival sources that are available; a text that traces not only the exploitative and oppressive features accompanying the European presence and ensuing forms of resistance, but also the forms of co-operation, partnership and mutual dependence that subsequently evolved. When using general textbooks to study the history of Indonesia, it is apparent that a non-literate and low-technological culture like that of the Timorese does not feature heavily. The same goes for works that survey Portuguese expansion overseas, where Timor is a footnote appended to discussions about Goa, Malacca and Macao. The extended arc of islands known as Nusa Tenggara, which stretches out some 1,000 kilometres from west to east, is by no means devoid of interest for the modern schol- ar. The islands harbour a remarkable ethnic and linguistic diversity. They are characterized by small-scale polities, a strong belief in the role of ancestors, ritual-spatial location, and marital exchange patterns between lineages. All this has engendered excellent scholarship, but scholarship that tends to sit within the field of anthropology rather than history. This is matched by the public discourse of modern Indonesia, where the cen- tral, principally Javanese, narration of Indonesia’s long history has been predominant. Powerful physical symbols, such as the Javanese kraton and temples and the Balinese religious sites, stand out in textbooks and tour- ist guides alike. Unsurprisingly, much of the official six-volume textbook Sejarah nasional Indonesia (Marwati Djoenad Poesponegoro and Nugroho | Preface Notosusanto 1975) is devoted to the geographical centre, although there are also a few sections on Sumatra, Kalimantan and South Sulawesi, especially in reference to anti-colonial rebellions, perhaps illustrative of modern nationalist sentiment. Coverage of Timor is restricted to a few scattered mentions in volumes I and III. It must be emphasized that any gaps in the history of Timor are not entirely due to a lack of sources, as there have been a good number of documents during the last three or four centuries. Although the mate- rial is largely Dutch or Portuguese, with all its inherent problems of Eurocentric bias, it can still be effectively used to trace historical pro- cesses in the easterly regions of Indonesia and Timor Leste. Language, however, has been an obstacle. For the most part, texts dealing with ‘Portuguese’ Timor have not taken advantage of Dutch sources, and vice versa. Notwithstanding this, since the cataclysmic separation of Timor Leste from Indonesia in 1999, a number of interesting contributions have surfaced. A detailed study of the period 1613-1660 has been com- pleted by Arend de Roever (2002), and I have no intention of supersed- ing his work. One may also mention the widely used online history of Timor by Geoffrey Gunn (n.y.), and the cartographic work undertaken by Frédéric Durand (2006a).

KAYAN LAND TENURE AND THE DISTRIBUTION OF DEVOLVABLE USUFRUCT IN BORNEO G. N. Appell Brandeis University INTRODUCTION The literature on land tenure among the indigenous peoples of Borneo perpetuates an error with regard to the Kayan system of land tenure. It is stated that among the Kayan no devolvable usufructary rights are created by the clearing of primary forest (e.g. Rousseau 1977:136) and that the Kayan land tenure system is, therefore, like that of the Rungus of Sabah. However, according to my field inquiries the Kayan and Rungus have radically different systems of land tenure. In correcting this misapprehension it will be necessary to review the status of research on land tenure in Borneo and pose critical questions for further research.1 THE TYPES OF LAND TENURE SYSTEMS IN THE SWIDDEN SOCIETIES OF BORNEO There are two basic types of land tenure systems found in those societies practicing swidden agriculture (see Appell 1971a). First, there is what I term "the circulating usufruct system"; and second, there is what I call "the devolvable usufruct system" (See Appell 1971b).2 In the system of circulating usufruct, once a swidden area has reverted to forest, any member of the village may cut the forest again to make a swidden without seeking permission of the previous cultivator. In other words, no devolvable or permanent use rights are established by cutting primary forest. Examples of this type of system may be found among the Rungus (See Appell 1971b, 1976) and the Bulusu' (see Appell 1983a, n.d.).

  • Trajectories of the Early-Modern Kingdoms in Eastern Indonesia: Comparative Perspectives
    Trajectories of the early-modern kingdoms in eastern Indonesia: Comparative perspectives Hans Hägerdal Introduction The king grew increasingly powerful. His courage indeed resembled that of a lion. He wisely attracted the hearts of the people. The king was a brave man who was sakti and superior in warfare. In fact King Waturenggong was like the god Vishnu, at times having four arms. The arms held the cakra, the club, si Nandaka, and si Pañcajania. How should this be understood? The keris Ki Lobar and Titinggi were like the club and cakra of the king. Ki Tandalanglang and Ki Bangawan Canggu were like Sangka Pañcajania and the keris si Nandaka; all were the weapons of the god Vishnu which were very successful in defeating ferocious enemies. The permanent force of the king was called Dulang Mangap and were 1,600 strong. Like Kalantaka it was led by Kriyan Patih Ularan who was like Kalamretiu. It was dispatched to crush Dalem Juru [king of Blambangan] since Dalem Juru did not agree to pass over his daughter Ni Bas […] All the lands submitted, no-one was the equal to the king in terms of bravery. They were all ruled by him: Nusa Penida, Sasak, Sumbawa, and especially Bali. Blambangan until Puger had also been subjugated, all was lorded by him. Only Pasuruan and Mataram were not yet [subjugated]. These lands were the enemies (Warna 1986: 78, 84). Thus did a Balinese chronicler recall the deeds of a sixteenth-century ruler who supposedly built up a mini-empire that stretched from East Java to Sumbawa.

  • 4. Old Track, Old Path
    4 Old track, old path ‘His sacred house and the place where he lived,’ wrote Armando Pinto Correa, an administrator of Portuguese Timor, when he visited Suai and met its ruler, ‘had the name Behali to indicate the origin of his family who were the royal house of Uai Hali [Wehali] in Dutch Timor’ (Correa 1934: 45). Through writing and display, the ruler of Suai remembered, declared and celebrated Wehali1 as his origin. At the beginning of the twentieth century, the Portuguese increased taxes on the Timorese, which triggered violent conflict with local rulers, including those of Suai. The conflict forced many people from Suai to seek asylum across the border in West Timor. At the end of 1911, it was recorded that more than 2,000 East Timorese, including women and children, were granted asylum by the Dutch authorities and directed to settle around the southern coastal plain of West Timor, in the land of Wehali (La Lau 1912; Ormelling 1957: 184; Francillon 1967: 53). On their arrival in Wehali, displaced people from the village of Suai (and Camenaça) took the action of their ruler further by naming their new settlement in West Timor Suai to remember their place of origin. Suai was once a quiet hamlet in the village of Kletek on the southern coast of West Timor. In 1999, hamlet residents hosted their brothers and sisters from the village of Suai Loro in East Timor, and many have stayed. With a growing population, the hamlet has now become a village with its own chief asserting Suai Loro origin; his descendants were displaced in 1911.

    Exploring Timor-Leste: - Minerals Potential Francisco da Costa Monteiro1, Vicenti da Costa Pinto2 Pacific Economic Cooperation Council-PECC Minerals Network Brisbane, Queensland 17-18 November 2003 1 Natural Resources Counterpart, Office of President, Palacio das Cinzas, Rua Caicoli Dili, Timor-Leste, +670 7249085, [email protected] 2 Director of Energy and Minerals, Ministry of Development and Environment, Fomento Building, Timor-Leste, + 670 7236320, [email protected] Abstract The natural and mineral resources, with which Timor-Leste is endowed are waiting to be developed in an environmentally friendly manner for the greater economic and social good of the people of the this newly independent nation. The major metallic minerals in Timor-Leste are gold, copper, silver, manganese, although further investigations are needed to determine the size, their vertical and lateral distribution. Gold is found as alluvial deposit probably derived from quartz veins in the crystalline schist of (Aileu Formation). It can also be found as ephithermal mineralisation such as in Atauro island. Nearby islands, Wetar, Flores, and Sumba islands of Indonesia Republic have produced gold deposit in a highly economic quantity. In Timor-Leste, the known occurrences of these precious minerals are mostly concentrate along the northern coastal area and middle part of the country associated with the thrust sheets. The copper- gold-silver occurrences associated with ophiolite suites resembling Cyprus type volcanogenic deposits have been reported from Ossu (Viqueque district), Ossuala (Baucau district), Manatuto and Lautem districts. The Cyprus type volcanogenic massive sulphides are usually between 500.000 to a few million tons in size or larger (UN ESCAP-report, 2003).
