The unique traditions of the Batak people, North Sumatra, Indonesia

The Batak tribe is one of the ethnic groups in Indonesia, based on a census from the Central Statistics Agency in 2010.
This name is a collective theme to identify several ethnic groups who live and originate from the West Coast and East Coast in North Sumatra Province.
Ethnic groups that are categorized as Batak are Angkola, Karo, Mandailing, Pakpak / Dairi, Simalungun, and Toba.
The Batak are a group of tribes who inhabit most of North Sumatra. However, people often think that the mention of Batak is only in the Toba tribe, whereas Batak is not only the Toba tribe.
Currently, the Batak people generally adhere to Protestant Christianity, Catholic Christianity and Islam. But there are also those who adhere to traditional beliefs, namely: the Malim tradition (its adherents are called Parmalim) and also adhere to animistic beliefs, although now the number of adherents of these two teachings has decreased.
