The nahoni liana tradition is a tradition carried out when the mother is in labor, emphasizing emotional, spiritual, and physical support to the mother and baby. Meanwhile, the napoitan liana tradition is a tradition carried out at the post-birth stage, this ritual is carried out to introduce the baby to the Boti community about the baby's presence. These findings illustrate the complexity and depth of the parenting system in Boti culture that reflects the harmony between tradition, the environment and the needs of child development.
