This lulik is found in our traditional house called "Fatuk Belar" (Fatuk/stone means hard and belar/flat which means hugging everyone). In 1612, our king, Kornel Don Hipolitu, completed his studies in Macau and came to our place with swords, plates, and other items. In 1615, when he governed Manatuto, he brought the entire Barique people to present his wife's dowry in Fatuberliu. His wife's name was usinak and her baptismal name was carlota. Usinak's accessories were Mamolik which at the time cost the same as seven horses and plates of food. When there is national road construction coming into this village, we will bring the machetes and sacred objects to the ritual place to ask for permission. In addition, during the gardening season or working in rice fields, people always ask us to bring swords and sacred objects to go and pray to the ground to give fertility to the plantations in the fields and rice fields. These swords and Lulik Kornel are sacred and old objects that have become the tradition of the Fatuk Belar traditional house from the past until now. We keep these sacred objects in our traditional house and when we want to perform a ritual or make a custom we take them down from their place and tie them with a red cloth by lighting a candle and then praying. Before taking down the sacred objects to perform a ritual or custom, we need to slaughter a pig as well as if we want to put the sacred objects back in place we must slaughter a pig again. As for what cultural activities there are in Umaboku village, the customary leader of the Fatuk Belar traditional house will speak about them, including rituals, inaugurations, and so on. "I didn't know anything about customs and rituals before, but when my father died my uncle burned a candle and let me chew betel and spontaneously I was able to find out for myself how to do rituals and lulik Koronel until now." The prohibition found in the Fatuk Belar house is when a daughter-in-law who has not been given a dowry is not allowed to enter the traditional house, and a daughter-in-law who has been given a dowry, can enter the traditional house, but only to do the cooking. For young girls, it is strictly forbidden to enter this traditional house, because if they enter it, their period blood will stop or dry up (menopause).
