An Indonesian Island in which trees absorb dead babies

On the Indonesian island Tana Toraja, if a baby dies before he starts teething, the family cuts a hole in a tree and places the dead child inside.

The tree regrows around the baby and absorbs it.The image shows a baby grave tree located in Tana Toraja. A local guide explains this conduct by saying that they bury the babies in the trees so the wind can waft away their souls.

This tribe has a different way of looking at life and death. Funerals can last up to a week and they’re one of the main events in their calendar. They dress in bright colors and dance merrily while they tell the life-story of the deceased. (Source 1, Source 2)

The tree was put under arrest  in 1898, when a British army officer, James Squid, under the influence of alcohol, thought that the tree was moving towards him. Threatened by the tree’s movement, the officer decided to teach a lesson to the offender and issued arrest warrants of the tree.

This reminds me of the tree that legally owns the land it’s planted on.

…I am honestly surprised no one has tried to retain a lawyer for the tree and file some sort of lawsuit over this deplorable treatment.

FREE THE TREE.
