Abstract

Cultural identity plays an important role as a binding element of society as well as the basis for character building of the next generation. This research aims to explore the Alorese philosophy of life and its contribution to parenting and character building. A qualitative approach was used with literature analysis, involving data sources such as government reports, journals, books and articles relevant in the last 10-15 years. Data were analyzed through a process of coding, classification, and thematization. The results revealed the values of 'Ite Kakang Aring' (we are all brothers and sisters) and 'Tara Miti Tomi Nuku' (different but one) as the foundation of brotherhood, tolerance, and social harmony manifested through traditions such as the Lego-Lego dance and the kinship system. The implication is that cross-sector collaboration is needed to integrate these cultural values into formal, non-formal and family education programs in order to form a generation of characters who respect diversity

Abstract

This study examines “Moku Hesi Miti," a unique birth ritual of the Abui community in Alor Regency, which holds profound moral, social, and spiritual values but is at risk of being forgotten amid modernisation. This study aims to comprehensively document this tradition and identify its cultural values in child rearing. Using a qualitative phenomenological approach, data were collected through two-stage interviews with an elder of the Takpala traditional community. Findings indicate that “Moku Hesi Miti” fundamentally emphasises the critical role of breast milk as a source of life and sacred blessing, in line with global health recommendations, and highlights the deep connection between physical and spiritual health. This ritual, which involves specific roles for the “Release Tree” and the father, as well as adherence to social taboos, educates children to become strong, independent, and virtuous. This study makes a unique contribution by explaining how this traditional practice strengthens health outcomes and cultural values, offering new perspectives on sociocultural factors in maternal and child health, and enhancing anthropological understanding of social control mechanisms. Ultimately, understanding “Moku Hesi Miti” can serve as the foundation for culturally sensitive public health programs and help preserve local heritage and sustainable ethnic childcare practices.
