The members of this house are the descendants of an elder called Leki Leto. The Liko Loko house is a sibling to the Duas Mali house and brother to the Manephat (new settlement) and Mane Telu houses. Together with the Bili Ubun and the Lika Uban house, Liko Loko is the principal Sepulu Nera house. The role of the house owners is to resolve conflicts and they are also considered the land owners. Liko Loko and Bili Ubun are also known as “Lesu and Bane.” “Lesu” and “Bane” refers to two types of trees, one the Kapok and the other White Cheesewood. The bark of the Cheesewood (bane) tree is used to prepare traditional remedies. In the past the cheesewood tree was planted in sacred places. According to information from those currently dwelling in the community, the Liko Loko and Bili Ubun also control the land and other natural resources.
