Tandok Dance
Tandok dance ( Batak: ''ᯖᯢ᯲oᯃ᯲'' )is a traditional Batak dance originating from the North Sumatra, Indonesia. This dance tells about the activities of harvesting rice using ''tandok'' carried out by mothers in the fields. In addition, this dance also contains the importance of family values between each other. Form and movement Tandok dancers are generally women who wear traditional Batak clothes, which are dominated by black and red. The dance properties used include tandok, ulos, and sarong. The Tandok dance is usually danced by four dancers, but this does not become a standard, so this dance can be performed by more than four people whose number is always even. This traditional dance is accompanied by Gondang music. Similar to gamelan in Java and Bali, Gondang is also an ensemble musical instrument that has variations. If the Javanese gamelan and the variations in the music produced are based on the skill of the salendro players, then on the Gondang the variation ...

Internal classification The Batak languages can be divided into two main branches, Northern Batak and Southern Batak. Simalungun was long considered an intermediary, but in current classifications it is recognized as part of the Southern branch.Adelaar, K. A. (1981). "Reconstruction of Proto-Batak Phonology".

Batak People
Batak is a collective term used to identify a number of closely related Austronesian ethnic groups predominantly found in North Sumatra, Indonesia, who speak Batak languages. The term is used to include the Karo, Pakpak, Simalungun, Toba, Angkola, and Mandailing which are related groups with distinct languages and traditional customs (''adat''). Prehistory Linguistic and archaeological evidence indicates that Austronesian speakers first reached Sumatra from Taiwan and the Philippines through Borneo or Java about 2,500 years ago, and the Batak probably descended from these settlers. While the archaeology of southern Sumatra testifies to the existence of neolithic settlers, it seems that the northern part of Sumatra was settled by agriculturalists at a considerably later stage. Although the Batak are often considered to be isolated peoples thanks to their location inland, away from the influence of seafaring European colonials, there is evidence that they have been inv ...

Ulos
Ulos is the traditional ''Tenun'' fabric of the Batak people of North Sumatra in Indonesia. Different kinds of ulos have different ceremonial significance. The ulos is normally worn draped over the shoulder or shoulders, or in weddings to ceremonially bind the bride and groom together. Ulos are traditionally hand woven and in the case of higher-quality examples are significant family heirlooms, to be worn at important events, such as funerals and weddings. With increasing modernisation has come the decline in significance of the ulos, with many varieties no longer in demand. History According to the Batak people, there are three sources of warmth for humans; Sun, Fire and Ulos. Why is ulos a source of warmth? Ulos is said to be a source of warmth because they were living on cold mountains. This natural condition makes sunlight insufficient to give warmth especially at night. Then, they created something that is able to give them warmth, also believed to be able to give the men ...
