• W2502310625 abstract "The Timorese who cuts one head off is considered assuai(brave) and is entitled to a reward from his régulo[indigenous chief or ruler]. The moment one Timorese takes a head, the arraial[warriors, Timorese irregulars] of his kingdom immediately sings the Loro Sai, the warrior chant, full of quite remarkable melody and harmony. Severed heads also make for great ceremonies, which begin by looking after [the heads] and end by kicking them countless times. As soon as one arrives at the encampment the arraial of each kingdom collects the heads decapitated by his people and hangs them by the long hair worn by the Timorese, on bamboos stacked on the ground, and puts in the mouth of each of them a chew of betel and areca so that they do not miss the pleasures that they had in life. At night all the arraiais form a circle, each of them around the heads they had cut off, and then start a peculiar ceremony. The chief, standing up at the centre of the circle, commences the Loro Sai, which the Timorese sing only when they have cut heads off. In this chant the chief begins by presenting the head with a thousand apologies for having cut it off; then demonstrates to the head why its decapitation was necessary, but tells it not to worry, because it will never fall short of anything, not even the chew! From time to time, the arraial choir confirms these apologies, and when they are fed up with apologizing, they start incriminating the heads, and it is then that the heads pass through harsh times! The arraial chief turns towards the heads with his sword in hand and, very angry, sings to them, asking: ‘But why have you armed yourselves against us? Why did you want to kill us? For didn’t you know that we are stronger than you?’ And as the heads do not respond to these questions the arraial gets furious, screeches, jumps up and down and finally throws the heads down to the ground and kicks them madly, frenetically. This ceremony is repeated over many nights, always in the same way.KeywordsIndigenous CultureArmy OfficerColonial SourcePortuguese ColonialPortuguese GovernmentThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
