Excerpt from Pagan Races of the Malay Peninsula, Vol. 2 of 2
The child must not, in later life, injure any tree which belongs to the species of his tree. For him all such trees are taboo, and he must not even eat of their fruit, the only exception being when an expectant mother revisits her birth-tree.
Among the Eastern Semang (pangan) it was an ancient custom for an expectant mother to visit the nearest tree belonging to the species of her own birth-tree, and hang it about with fragrant leaves and blossoms if she hap pened to be able to reach its branches, or deposit them at the tree 5 foot, if the tree was too big for them to be suspended. This, however, was mere custom, and in no sense compulsory.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the birth customs, beliefs, and practices of three indigenous communities of the Malay Peninsula: the Negritos, Sakai, and Savage Malays. The author, an esteemed explorer from the early 20th century, provides a rich and detailed ethnographic account of these communities, offering a rare glimpse into their traditional practices surrounding childbirth. The book explores various beliefs and rituals associated with birth, such as the idea of the soul-bird, which is believed to carry the soul of the unborn child, and the significance of specific trees chosen as birth trees. The author also examines the role of midwives and traditional healers in assisting with childbirth, shedding light on their techniques, charms, and incantations. Beyond rituals and beliefs, the book also discusses the challenges faced by these communities in ensuring the well-being of mothers and infants. The author highlights the high infant mortality rate and the limited medical resources available to these communities. Through these insights, the book offers a valuable understanding of the cultural and historical context of childbirth practices among these indigenous communities.
