The Origin of Irian's Name

In the past, in Sopen Village, West Biak lived a family with various boys. One of the children was named Mananamakrdi. He was so hated by his brothers because his whole body was covered with sores, so no one could resist the smell. So, his brothers routinely ask Mananamakrdi to sleep outside the house. When Mananamakrdi fought, no doubt his brothers would kick him out until he felt pain.

One day, his brothers had not been able to withstand the scent of the scab. So, Mananamakrdi was driven from the house. With a gesture, Mananamakrdi walked eastward. Arriving on the beach, he took a boat. She covered the vast sea until she discovered a land which was none other than Miokbudi Island in East Biak.

He built a small hut in the jungle. Every day he set out to prove the sago to satisfy his food needs. Not only that, it also produces the coconut from coconut flowers. Incidentally in the forest there are various coconut trees that can be tapped. Every afternoon, he climbed coconuts, then cut his gaze. Below that piece is placed bamboo straps tied. The next day, she took the nira water and then built the tuak. One, he was very surprised, nira in his tube had been exhausted. Mananamakrdi is very upset. That night he sat in the coconut leaf fronds to grab his thief. Until late night the thief had not come. By morning, from above the sky it was impressed that a creature radiated very brightly toward the coconut tree where Mananamakrdi was hiding. The creature then drank all the nira. When he wanted to run, Mananamakrdi managed to catch him. The creature struggled.

"Who are you?" Asked Mananamakrdi.

"I'm Sampan, the morning star that day. Please release me, the sun is almost sunk, "he pleaded.

"Get my first cure, and give me a beautiful wife," asked Mananamakrdi.

"Patience, on the beach near this forest grows a bitanggur tree. If the girl you want is bathing on the beach, climb the bitup tree, then throw one piece to the middle of the sea. Later that girl will be your wife, "said Sampan. Mananamakrdi then let go of Sampan.

Since then every Mananamakrdi sits beneath the tangled tree watching the girls bath. Ansore, she saw a beautiful girl bathing alone. The girl is none other than Insoraki, the daughter of the tribal chief of Meokbundi Village. Immediately the unlucky tree climbed. Her skin was rubbing with a rough bitpot tree. He took a tangle, and threw it into the sea.

Bitanggur was brought in ripple water as well as about the body of Insoraki until it was disturbed. He threw the fruit into the middle of the sea. But the fruit was brought back to the water as well as about Insoraki. The incident runs repeatedly until Insoraki feels irritated. He then goes home.

Yesterday days later, Insoraki was pregnant. A strange incident on the beach she told her parents. Surely his parents did not believe it. A few months later, Insoraki gave birth to a baby boy. At birth, the baby did not cry, but laughed. After a while, a name-giving party was held. The boy was named Konori. Mananamakr is present at the party. As the dance party was running, Konori suddenly ran and whisked at the feet of Mananamakrdi. "Ayaaah ...," she shouted. People were surprised. Dance parties then stopped.

Finally, Isoraki and Mananamakrdi were married. However, tribal chiefs and villagers feel disgusted with Mananamakrdi. They left the village by raising all their livestock and their plants. Become a deserted village. Only Mananamakrdi, Insoraki, and Konori are left. A day, Mananamakrdi collects dried wood, then burns it. Insoraki and Konori are surprised. Not missing her sense of surprise, suddenly Mananamakrdi jumped into the fire. Spontaneous, Insorice and Konori scream. But it was magical, soon Mananamakrdi came out of the fire with a clean body without sores. His face is very handsome. The son and his wife were happy too. Mananamakrdi then calls him Masren Koreri meaning holy man. Long afterwards, Mananamakrdi humiliated the creature, then a sailboat was formed. He then invited his wife and son to sail to Mandori, near Manokwari.

Early in the morning, his son played sand on the beach. He saw huge hilly terrain. For a long time, the mist was shaken by morning rays. Looks very beautiful mountains. Soon the sun shone brightly, the air became hot, and the mist disappeared.

"Dad ... Irian. Iriaaan, "shouted Konori. In Biak, it means heat.

"Hi, my son, do not scream at it. This is the land of your fathers, "said Mananamakrdi.

"Yes, Dad. Purpose Konori, the sun's heat has eliminated morning mist, a scene in sin
