.....Facts about the Salone - Moken the
actual sea gypsies of the Andaman Sea, were
first discovered in the travel
diary of a Frenchman published in 1675. In
Morris
Collis's "Siamese White" they were called
Silita.
In 1891 census report of Kawthoung Township,
they were called Silone.
Some folklore of the Moken -
Salone - Sea Gypsies,
- From
our e-book Islands of the Andaman Sea and
the Sea Nomads -
Long long ago there was a
Salone young man by the name of Ah Nine who was very brave and
skillful at fishing. He had a lover named Bu Ngan
(Miss Flower). They
were highly pleased with their lives
because
they loved each other and their parents
on both sides were friends.
Ah Nine
saved money working hard in fishery.
Similar to him, Bu Ngan also saved money working hard on
taking out barnacles and making
grass-mats. Looking forward to the
ceremonies of their forthcoming
engagement and wedding, they both were
excited with happiness.
When the young man would have enough
money, he used to send a woman as a
matchmaker , |
carrying his earrings, a sarong and some
other things, to the parent of his girl,
for engagement. If they disagreed they would
return back the items. If they give
their consent, they wound have alcoholic
drinks together in the honor of the
successful
engagement.
Then, the young man could visit
the girl's house during nighttime. The young
man have to make a Kaban boat
where the whole family could live, it is the mark of his ability.
Then, he would have to look for a dog and train to be obedient to
him. After completion of these formalities, wedding ceremony could
be held. At which, they would pray Katoi Nat spirit; requesting for
protection from misfortunes.
Wedding ceremony was a feast held in
the company of bride and groom, together with the parents of both
sides and invited guests. After the wedding ceremony, the groom
lived with his bride in her house for six months or one year; taking
responsibilities of looking after her family, as it had been already
agreed to at the time of engagement. After that period, the couple
could live in a separate house, particularly in a boat.
Trying hard to take the ambergris, time passed unnoticed.
He had forgotten to attribute to the Rain-god. By the time, rain
became heavy; wind blew hard; sea became tempestuous; and lightning
flashed. Ah Nine was streaked by a thunderclap while he was lying on
his back in the hull of his boat, and passed away.
Thus, Ah Nine and Bu Ngan worked hard for money. One day the sea
began tempestuous. While rowing his boat, Ah Nine saw a cluster of
ambergris floating in the sea. If he would have got it; would have
peace of mind for their wedding. Ambergris was as valuable as edible
bird-nest. Bu Ngan was happy in his imagination.
When the dark
clouds were cleared off in the sky, he wound be
capable to take the ambergris out of water. Ah Nine prayed and requested the Rain-god to wipe off the dark clouds. When the ambergris was in received, the
Rain-god would be given a devotional offering. His prayer was
answered.
In the next
morning, he was searched for all over the sea. They found him
lying dead in the floating boat. Beside him in the hull was a
cluster of ambergris. Bu Ngan also died of broken heart.
Salone believed that an island called lsland of Poverty still
existed in the Myeik archipelago, on which no tree was grown and
nobody used to reach there - It was a transformation of Bu
Ngan's body. Thus, Salone dare not sleep on the back while it
was raining; Salone pay tribute to Rain-god and prayed for the
pathetic couple whenever it was raining. This story is still
popular today.
