Craig, the Malay term for aboriginal is Orang Asli meaning original people, natural people or aboriginal people.  Orang Asli (lit. "original people", "natural people" or "aboriginal people" in Malay) is a generic Malaysian term used officially for the indigenous people of Peninsular Malaysia. Officially, there are 18 Orang Asli tribes, categorised under three main groups according to their different languages and customs:

• Semang (or Negrito), generally confined to the northern portion of the peninsula
• Senoi, residing in the central region
• Proto-Malay (or Aboriginal Malay), in the southern region.

There is an Orang Asli museum at Gombak, about 25 km north of Kuala Lumpur.

I wanted to get some sort of clue of what may be going on with these flights out of Malaysia and have found  myself back at this thread.  The first inhabitants of the Malay Peninsula were most probably Negritos.^[8] These Mesolithic hunters were probably the ancestors of the Semang, an ethnic Negrito group who have a long history in the Malay Peninsula.^[9]

Craig, aboriginal is a combination of two words ab and original.  Ab is a Latin word meaning away from.  As Al, has pointed to, the Aeta or Agta people are said to have preceded Austronesian migrations.  I read the following and LOVED what I read, "  Unlike many of their Austronesian counterparts, the Aetas have shown resistance to change. The attempts of the Spaniards to settle them in reducciones or reservations all throughout Spanish rule failed." 

The article, from taipeitimes, that was located reads, "The Saisiyat tribe of Hsinchu and Miaoli will perform a solemn rite this weekend to commemorate a race of people that they exterminated."  The Saisiyat people refer to the Aeta as the Ta'ai and learned farming methods from them.  According to the legend of the Saisiyat, they lived in peace until the Ta'ai men sexually harassed and molested the women of the Saisiyat, they were killed off.  The Saisiyat, hold a festival in honor of the Ta'ai called the Pas-ta'ai, ritual to the short people.  The festival is held on a full moon around the 15th day of the 10th lunar month every two years, with a particularly large event held every 10 years.  The next regular festival will be held this year, in 2014, with the big one to be held in 2016.

Locating this article, led me to this discussion.  Duerme, seems to come from the Latin word dormire meaning I sleep.

They look alot like my ancestors Raven, who resemble aboriginal peoples.  I need to do more research on that word, aboriginal.  I do see "original" in it!

It's a wonderful moment to realize, "hey it's me", not them,  not the system, the construct, the matrix, the man, it is me. I am responsible for my own thoughts. I am responsible for clearing out the garbage inserted in me. No one can or will do it for me.

Back @ U Raven, this may be what the atonement is all about.  In order to get there, one (a-person), must do the work!

Peace Sistar!

Thank you for the insight in class Dr.B! Thank you for what these people called themselves Mr. Al. It's internalized and a lesson never to be forgotten.

Raven, thanks and thanks for posting this. Trust me it is valuable information and a great tool to learn how to learn. It exposes a condition suffered for way too long.
