I spend 2 weeks with the Death Tribe of Indonesia. Their views on life and what happens after is fascinating. Watch the Full Video: • LIVING A WEEK with the...
Fun facts : • The sacrifice to be presented to the deceased only needs a male for each animal as they're considered to have more value than their female counterparts (their price is doubled). • Unwritten rule for guests attending the funeral ceremony, DO NOT bring sows/gilts or female buffalos, it's actually considered direspectful to present them to the family of the deceased, although the rule has gotten more lenient these days. Still, you'll get side eyes from people (mostly older generation) in attendance. • In the past, 24 buffalos is a sign of high social status, nowadays people just make it into competition to show their money off. It sickens me to the stomach to what have become of our precious tradition. • One healthy male buffalo could afford you a darn good expensive motorbike or a car, times 24 you could build a luxurious house. • The most expensive and (considered) most valuable gift of animal you could give to the deceased is a buffalo called Tedong Bonga, an albino buffalo which can go up to 1̶ ̶t̶r̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶R̶u̶p̶i̶a̶h̶,̶ ̶t̶h̶a̶t̶'̶s̶ ̶a̶r̶o̶u̶n̶d̶ ̶6̶5̶-̶6̶7̶ ̶m̶i̶l̶l̶i̶o̶n̶ ̶U̶S̶D̶ 1 billion Rupiah = about 66 thousands USD. (I confused trillion and billion smh, only noticed it just now. My English isn't very good. My apologies for giving out wrong information) • Guests bring their own animal to gift it to the family of the deceased. It's actually not a gift, it's debt. If the guest holds a funeral ceremony of their own in the future, you need to repay your debt by bringing better animal (in size and/or price) for them. It's another unwritten rule. If you die before you're able to repay your debts, it'll be passed down to your kids automatically. Torayans are one of the wealthiest people but also the most broke ones lbvs smfh. We basically live for the dead. We work for the dead. We make money for the dead. EDIT : Saw a lot of comments about the sacrifical animals, whether we consume it or simply left it to rot. We eat all the meat, cookies, cakes and drinks. If there's too much meat or food left, it's often given away to neighboring village, the guests or we ferment it to be consumed in the weeks/months to come. Nothing is wasted. If you want to have the fullest experience of Toraja's death ceremony, come during the month of June or July as many funerals are often held simultaneously in different villages of the town, sometimes in December too. You'll go home with a suitcase of darn delicious smoked pork/buffalos and bunch of other things. Torayans are like that, they would even adopt you and show you all the places tucked away in jungles if they could. 😂😂 EDIT 2 : There are quite a number of comments saying the animals suffer during the process and it's cruel. Rarely it has happened. Only skilled men are picked to do it as they have to cut the throat of the buffalo/pigs in one go in order for the animal to instantly die instead of slowly bleeding out. The killing is a lot more merciful than animal factories on the opposite side of the world imo. As much as I want to shame some folks in the comment section about how your breeding animal factories are much worse than our sacrificial killing and you waste a lot of food resources that could easily feed your whole city for free, I understand that we live in a different world with different sets of beliefs, customs & traditions and it's okay to have different opinions on certain things. Disrespecting other people's culture though is stupid when you yourself don't even know what and where your root is. It's sad really. Lastly, don't assume you know shit when you don't even know shit.
Aint showin off social status and showing off wealth basically the same like if you dont have any money you prolly dont have a good social status and vice versa
@@nowheat7987 It's different here in the Eastern part of the world. Our culture believed in caste ranks, just like in India. High social status often comes with wealth but having wealth doesn't automatically makes your place higher in the social/caste ranks, it simply means you have money, nothing more. Time has changed, therefore more and more people can hold a funeral ceremony with 24 buffalos whereas in the past, only people with high social status were allowed to do it.
You shouldn’t be surprised that an outdated tradition is becoming less and less relevant to its people and is being slowly replaced with modern inventions that are actually measurable. People can measure their wealth, they can’t measure wether or not their tradition actually works. Also showing off social status vs showing off your wealth is literally the same thing
@@Hhh-bk4xtgood thing the earth has trees to combat that right? Ppl need to wake up with the garbage we are told. Look at what electric batteries do to the earth to gather the materials? Shameful.
When you said you tripped I thought something really bad happened for a sec 😭. This is because in my culture (Hmong), superstitiously if you trip at a funeral then your spirit might leave your body and get stuck under the dirt. Then you’d need a shaman to come and bring it back.
That's interesting that something as innocuous as stumbling over one's feet would carry such a superstition as opposed to like...seeing a certain animal right before/after the funeral, or having a certain dream.
@@ValCronin well I mean during traditional funerals it’s a vulnerable place for spirits to be. It’s for the family to give a final farewell to their loved one’s spirit and body. It’s kinda like having an open gateway, where there are other spirits there too. Essentially, you don’t want to accidentally attract bad spirits to yourself or get your own spirit trapped. If you do, you’d become physically ill.
@@ValCronin Tripping/stumbling is a taboo in so many cultures across history because it's a "small failure". Caesar tripped when he landed on Britain, and had to make a quick charade of "embracing the Earth" for the immediate worry that people would declare the conquest a bad omen.
I kind of get sacrifices to a point, like if there is a realm where the dead go your just giving them gifts, but I don’t understand why they sacrifice so many
But dont we have places that slaughter all sorts of animals by the millions daily? Dont get me wrong, i LOVE me some BBQ n most meals dont feel right without some sort o meat on the plate. MY question is why u cryin?
@@matthewdean3879 why are you trying to start something? I’m not upset at all and if you read my other comment you would understand, pls go outside and get some fresh air, it’s good for you 🩷💗
I fully respect other cultures and traditions. But I gotta say, celebrating death with more death would have been to much for me handle...this was a whole lot at once. I can respect and understand a tradition, but I don't have to personally like it. I definitely would have had to step away from this one. You have some balls to sit through that😅 Although it was pretty hard to watch, it was still interesting to see and learn. Keep up the videos, love seeing and learning about all the different cultures and traditions around the world.
it's no worse, or actually better, than what many farmed animals go through in western culture. battery farming needs to go long before this tradition does
everything is relative. what i always find interesting is the idea that if you or me grew up in this culture it would not bother us at all, outside of its significance as part of the mourning process. for me since all the meat is eaten it doesn’t actually bother me that much because it doesn’t seem that different from having a large dinner after a funeral. you’re just getting more involved in other parts of the process
@@zomfgeclipse What is there to be open minded about here? Ritual killing? His name is John Galt he's 16 and has just read Ayn Rand for the first time lol
Personally I think if we did something like this maybe we’d respect the animals we eat more so than we do. Everyone’s so separated from what they eat these days
Thanks so much for this!! I was wondering about a lot of the things you made clear in your comment :) and yeah I agree people are too quick to judge sometimes lol
I'm interested, would like to know more. Part of me thinks this is sad, but as a Pagan I am very open minded to other cultures beliefs. Thanks for sharing!
@@TannisNovak These animals live great lives in the outdoors and are humanely killed by cutting the artery in the neck. You prolly eat fast food where millions of animals are stuffed into tiny cages to maximize weight and be miserable until slaughtered.
bro talkin like he doesnt eat steak n meat almost everyday, the history of that meat u find in the store is probably worse than the way these animals died. i bet the animals in this video have lived a good life.
I've watched the whole video, its really worth watching if youve not done so. Firstly its really obvious how much effort they go to and how long they spend time with their "sick" relatives to ensure they have a proper funeral ceremony so that they can reach heaven. Then later after the ceremony is complete they continue to care for the deceased and seek their blessings. The connection to their family is most humbling as is their willingness to share these touching moments with us. Strong reactions to slaughter are understandable but they are slaughtered with purpose with an intention. I also think that the way they care for the dead afterwards when after burial in cemeteries in western countries the bodies end up strewn all over under the surface and frequently need to be exhumed and moved around to make space or for underground sewer maintenance and repair for example. They keep that connection alive im rwally touched by that.
Respect the people's rights to carry on a tradition that is probably older than time. The vikings used to sacrifice a willing person to carry a message to Odin or Thor or other gods when the village needed something in exchange for something they really needed. They called it a blot. I believe.
@@fjt4700 hunting for pleasure isn’t the same as sacrificing an animal for an important occasion. since most sacrifices tend to try and be quick or merciful at least while hobby hunting is done through chasing the animal for hours before killing it. hunting for food is another story.
I remember being in one of these sacrificial ceremonies when I was about 8-9 years old. I remember girls in beautiful clothing but also pigs and buffalo being slaughtered. I’m not sure if someone died or if it was something else, if you know, please let me know ^^
I have a Theory: you know how the mind is the most powerful thing, and you can mainly feel pain when you see it, maybe our brain still works after death and our beliefs are where we go after death.. so it's all in our head. Just a Theory I jus thought of🤷🏽♂️
This reminds me of norse tradition, where they place the dead on a boat and sacrifice different animals and set the boat on fire before pushing it into the water
This is my literal nightmare. In life I want zero attention it’s how I get thru life. In death I want the same thing. No funeral no sadness no nothing just let me go on my way.
I respect cultures but this As an animal lovers I feel so bad for the animals that have to get sacrificed The screams hurts my ears and you can tell that they are scared and want to live.. They may not be humans or talk our language but they feel pain too and they deserve to live :(
they don’t know they’ll die, and anyway, i guarantee you they eat them. they wouldn’t just waste good meat like that. slaughterhouses in the us are far more cruel, so if you eat meat, don’t be saying that
Not just a sacrifice ritual it’s also free food for the village so their families ain’t paying for shit it’s kinda nice I’ve been thinking about bringing my grandma
Thats fuckn cold. The pig was yelling " wtf your gonna kill me just cause that old baba died!? Shes already a widow she dont neeed company to the afterlife 😂😂😂
My mom told me this story, so she went to her dad's and her parents were divorced. She went to her dad's. And the people that were living across from her were sacrificing a pig and eating it. And she cried and cried, and her dad couldn't do anything about it. And this is really sad for me. Because my favorite animal is pig.
Yes, we do eat all the animals. It's for the whole vilage and the guests that attend the funeral. We talk about hundreds and hundreds of people that come each day during the course of few days the funeral is held. We also ferment the meat (if there's too much left) which will be able to sustain us for weeks/months after, nothing is wasted.
i Grew up in Southern California. Primarily out of main city in a Place called Perris California. But i Grew up around a Very Traditional Mexican Family and thats how they would Kill goat's for the Feast. experienced this at about age 7.
This would make a great animated movie like maybe a girl waking up in a defferent realm by the world shaking walking and meeting up with new animals going through like caves in shit seeing memories of the her past life and towards the end u see her death she must fight and win against it to move on then she reunites with family and tribe members and boom movie ends
Geez, it's not like they're decimating entire populations of animals for their ritual-funerals. Let them live their culture, of course it appears strange and maybe even sadistic to the western eye but hey, those people have their traditions and their rites. Not every culture has yet fallen...
@Andrias Jabs In most culture's the sacrifices aren't eaten because then it takes away the significance of giving up what you have and you're just using it. Idk if they will eat it, hopefully
@@Matteo-1it's not about eating or not, they will be eaten It's about the act itself, cuz murdering animals in public in front of children and other animals is unhinged af
I remember i was at one of these when i was younger but i was behind a door so i wouldnt get scared and had to get carried on my dads back when we left cuz there was blood everywhere. Do not necessarily recommend to younger ppl lmao
The Bible tells us that when a living soul (us) die, the spirit of life goes back to God who gave it and what remain will stay in the tomb unt[l you turn to dust, that is your journey.
I know it's a different culture and all but it still hurts watching this. I know some will say it's no worse than the farms/factories here but I don't think that's a fair argument. I obviously don't agree with how it is here either.
How do they sustain an entire village with food if they kill entire herds of animals whenever someone dies. I’m really confused. Could someone explain.
These animals live great lives in the outdoors and are humanely killed by cutting the artery in the neck and then feed the whole village. You prolly eat fast food where millions of animals are stuffed into tiny cages to maximize weight and be miserable until slaughtered. The conditions are so horrendous that we have to constantly inject them with anti-biotics so they don;t drop dead.
Funny thing is that female animals produce more product than males and you technically need only one male per harem of females in order to breed. So I wonder if the use of male animals as sacrifice is more about using animals that are redundant.
I understand it's culture, but I feel bad for the animals :( But this ritual is incredibly interesting and the way they think about death in that way. it is very interesting.
I wonder if you ever get worried that you're ever going to get like ambushed or hurt on your journeys to these tribes that you seek out like at awesome checking out the culture and seeing how they do things and how they live but you have to be scared of a couple things in the back of your mind

Thats fuckn cold. The pig was yelling " wtf your gonna kill me just cause that old baba died!? Shes already a widow she dont neeed company to the afterlife 😂😂😂
this comment section is so dumb
We: "are so starving and poor."
Also we: "Let's kill all the food whenever one of us dies."
They eat all of it. And they're not starving and poor.
@@SplendidFellow hows a round eye like you even gonna know?
@@BlazeTheDoja-qh1eyyou are kinda stupid you know
that person is right

My man really put a skull emoji on the title 💀
tell me your gen z by not telling me your gen z this is how
My mom told me this story, so she went to her dad's and her parents were divorced. She went to her dad's. And the people that were living across from her were sacrificing a pig and eating it. And she cried and cried, and her dad couldn't do anything about it. And this is really sad for me. Because my favorite animal is pig.
Someone has to say it: This is just ridiculous.
Does anyone know what happens to the dead roosters and buffalo? It shows them eating the pigs. Do they also eat the other sacrificial animals?
Yes, we do eat all the animals. It's for the whole vilage and the guests that attend the funeral. We talk about hundreds and hundreds of people that come each day during the course of few days the funeral is held. We also ferment the meat (if there's too much left) which will be able to sustain us for weeks/months after, nothing is wasted.
@@duchessofpotatoland thank you
i Grew up in Southern California. Primarily out of main city in a Place called Perris California. But i Grew up around a Very Traditional Mexican Family and thats how they would Kill goat's for the Feast. experienced this at about age 7.
This would make a great animated movie like maybe a girl waking up in a defferent realm by the world shaking walking and meeting up with new animals going through like caves in shit seeing memories of the her past life and towards the end u see her death she must fight and win against it to move on then she reunites with family and tribe members and boom movie ends
That's nuts and a huge waste of food
Man water bafoloo is going to be extinct
I’m cryingggg poor pigg
This is gruesome
Geez, it's not like they're decimating entire populations of animals for their ritual-funerals.
Let them live their culture, of course it appears strange and maybe even sadistic to the western eye but hey, those people have their traditions and their rites.
Not every culture has yet fallen...
He didn’t say they couldn’t he just said it’s sad to him
@@pipersee6648I think this comment was made with regard for other comments claiming the animal sacrifices are unnecessary or unethical
@@paulallenscards I think they are. And wtf 24 buffalos?? Wtf
@Andrias Jabs In most culture's the sacrifices aren't eaten because then it takes away the significance of giving up what you have and you're just using it. Idk if they will eat it, hopefully
@@Matteo-1it's not about eating or not, they will be eaten
It's about the act itself, cuz murdering animals in public in front of children and other animals is unhinged af
Yes I like the screams of suffering 🤗
it's not...
I remember i was at one of these when i was younger but i was behind a door so i wouldnt get scared and had to get carried on my dads back when we left cuz there was blood everywhere. Do not necessarily recommend to younger ppl lmao
This guy sounds like he's doing a zack baggans impression when he narrates
What do they do with the remains of the animals?
Nothing left to waste, they cooked it to eat with the families or share it to other people/village
I’m sad for the animals but they sacrificed them self’s..😭😭😭
Nice traditions.
In the US they eat 24 hams at a REPASSS because death makes the appetite increase 😮
Good point
Nah that’s just wrong man
Agreed dude
@Andrias Jabs he’s allowed to have an opinion just as you are. His opinion doesn’t hurt anyone.
Your big mac also comes through this way
@@Levondarrat5 no they do not but okay buddy. Also I don’t eat mc Donald’s cuz I’m not 300 pounds like you
@@xxtoxic4lif3r66 ignorance is an enemy even to its owner
Filipinos seeing the Buffalo getting tortured 😢( *Buffalos are a Philippine national animal* )
That is, that is so sad I don’t not know why they do that😢😢😢😢
The Bible tells us that when a living soul (us) die, the spirit of life goes back to God who gave it and what remain will stay in the tomb unt[l you turn to dust, that is your journey.
Look at that pig, knows excatly what is going to happen. Sad that these animals are so smart and we on the west are treating them worse than objects.
I feel so bad
Couldnt they atleast do it more humanely 😢😢
I know it's a different culture and all but it still hurts watching this. I know some will say it's no worse than the farms/factories here but I don't think that's a fair argument. I obviously don't agree with how it is here either.
Some people are to sensitive in the comments
Who was she to get such a large sacrifice??
Its kinda sad. But it's their culture. Also I have a question... did they just tie the bull to the ground to watch it die?
How do they sustain an entire village with food if they kill entire herds of animals whenever someone dies. I’m really confused. Could someone explain.
human nature at it's best
Some people need to rethink their cultures and make changes
Rethink their culture and make a change, sorry I don't get what u mean
@@lesliepolar get rid of some cultures
Then please stop eating.
Share your knowledge enlightened one
These animals live great lives in the outdoors and are humanely killed by cutting the artery in the neck and then feed the whole village. You prolly eat fast food where millions of animals are stuffed into tiny cages to maximize weight and be miserable until slaughtered. The conditions are so horrendous that we have to constantly inject them with anti-biotics so they don;t drop dead.
This is horrible... These type of people are crazy this is not normal and people shouldn't normalize it
U dotn eat animals ?
@@bencuthill3653 yeah fr he most be vegan or something
Ever heard of pig farms? Chicken farms? Cow farms? Sheep farms?
Its their culture don't disrespect it and call it crazy
@@devinreid1853 I don’t respect it, nothing you can do or anyone
Funny thing is that female animals produce more product than males and you technically need only one male per harem of females in order to breed. So I wonder if the use of male animals as sacrifice is more about using animals that are redundant.
It’s ok to say some rituals are dumb. Regardless of how old.
pretty normal to me,I live in a country where these happen all the time for cultural purposes of course
What we spend on coffins and plots and undertakers they spend on life
I understand it's culture, but I feel bad for the animals :( But this ritual is incredibly interesting and the way they think about death in that way. it is very interesting.
this is no different that the meat you eat for dinner
@@Aj-sn1dp yes I understand, I also feel bad for the animals who get slaughtered for meat although I eat it.
I am sad I’m crying
Do they eat the animals at least? If not that's pretty messed up
Yeah the whole village will feast on it. Everyone get their share
I will never understand the logic of how people come up with these really bizarre religious practices that have been done throughout history
The afterlife is basically Moana.
I wonder if you ever get worried that you're ever going to get like ambushed or hurt on your journeys to these tribes that you seek out like at awesome checking out the culture and seeing how they do things and how they live but you have to be scared of a couple things in the back of your mind
I love the life you live. It's truly amazing to watch
Do they eat them after? That seems like a huge waste of food
im kind of use to this. looking into hmong culture and its religion is fairly similar to what is happening here
I bet if you told them we abort our babies, they would be equally as shocked
*insert Roblox eating sound
I respect everything but I truly feel bad what did the animals do
This is from Toraja
We call it "rambu solo"
I watched the full video your culture and relationship with your loved ones touched my soul
People who cried for the Animals cause there Emotional people??
😢🥺😩😭
👇🏽
I don’t understand why anyone in the World anywhere would sacrifice a Animal for someone who’s already dead, its dumb to me.
Different culture?
24? For 1 person?
