Perhaps
many people are
not familiar with our country, Indonesia,
and maybe they
just know Bali
without knowing Bali
is part of Indonesia.
Actually many
tribes and cultures
are not less appealing than Bali.
One of them is Karonese
in Northern Sumatra.
Indonesian is
famous country which have 17.508 islands dan rich cultures and languages.
Certainly everyone who was born to the Earth is needs a religion and courteos
hereditary. So everyone needs characteristic of
the culture.
North sumatra is a province to lain section of Sabang,majority
of the population is Christian and Bataknese
culture . Maybe if we listen about
“batak” is the same for everyone who
don’t know about them, actually Batak’s cultures have spesific culture there is Batak
Karo,Batak Toba,Batak Simalungun,etc.
Iwas born
with Karonese culture and have family name “ Sitepu”, my last name or my clan
which i heredited from my father. Every child (boy and girl) in Batak will have
to bequeath clan’s name from father. Actually Batak culture must have child boy
to hereditate their title,because
someday the batak men will continue clan’s name to his child and to arrive to grandchild.
Someone who has Karonese culture sometime does not
want to be equated with other Batak like Toba,because they consider they have different culture with
other Batak.
Karonese is famous with 5 clans ,karonese just has
little clan but has specific clan in every clan ,there is
Karo-Karo,Ginting,Sembiring,Tarigan and Perangin-angin.Everyone in Karonese who
has same gender and has same clan will
be mutually calling each other as “senina”, it is meant they are a brother or
sister,but if they have same clan and but different gender they will be mutually calling each other as
“turang” it is meant they can’t get married
because they are considered blood relatives,if it is violated it can
lead to defects in the offspring. and if
a men and a woman who have different clan is mutually calling each other as “impal “ it is meant they can marry.
Marriage in karonese culture can be
categorized expensive because the men have to buy the desired appropriate price
by woman’s family, it’s more if a men are not karonese will marry a Karonese
woman,so he must buy a clan in advance and follow the ceremony, after that he
has surnames that will be passed down to his son someday.
In Wedding ceremony karonese
culture there must be ceremoni, it is a form of respect for the
population. average Karo cultural ceremonies is performed for 2-3 days and it is done in the multipurpose building or
in is village.
Because most karonese people are
majority Christian it is not surprising that in traditional wedding
ceremony a lot of food may be prohibited
for some religions such as pork and dog, it feels weird if karo marriage customary that embrace Christianity there is no food such as pork and dog, Talking
about the typical karo food culture, karonese foods are babi panggang karo
(bpk), goldfish arsik and Saksang . These are the three food that are always
there in karo celebration , Karonese food is famous for containing lots of spices ,that makes the food
more rich in flavor.

custom
home
The traditional house is one of the
nation's cultural assets. Each region has a traditional house with
characteristic and uniqueness of each. However, unfortunately increasingly more
people are leaving the home custom and
switch on a regular house. Only some areas, people, or tribe which still
survive in the custom house.
One interesting
home custom is Batak Karo.

life in a traditional house was governed by customary Karo, and therefore
called home custom . The house is high
and the colonnaded house usually occupied on a large family consisting of 4 to
8 karo family. In the house no single room Blocking off. However, there remains
room sharing, for example limited by lines customs strong, although the line
was invisible.
Already rarely karo home stand, this is because the
