Kubu people - Kubu tribe (English spelling)

Japanese: クブ族 - クブぞく（英語表記）Kubu

A Bedda ethnic group found scattered throughout the lowlands of eastern Sumatra and the Barisan Mountains in Indonesia. They are said to have once been widespread throughout the Malay Archipelago, but have since been assimilated by the Malays and others, resulting in a significant decline in their numbers. Originally hunter-gatherers, they lived in primitive, mobile bands, but more and more of them have taken up farming. They once lived in dwellings on piles. They practice bird divination while hunting, and are also known for their shamanism.

インドネシアのスマトラ島東部低地からバリサン山脈にかけて散在するベッダ系の一民族。かつてはマレー諸島に広く分布していたといわれるが，その後マレー人などに同化され，かなり減少した。元来は狩猟採集民で，バンドを単位として移動する原始的狩猟採集生活を営んでいたが，農耕に従事する者が増えた。かつては杭上家屋に住んでいた。狩猟の際には鳥占いを行ない，シャーマニズムもみられる。
