Qanan: Food Processing in the Culture of the Tehit People in West Papua

This article discusses about qanan which is a way to cook food that is typical for the Tehit tribe. Cooking patterns using qanan bark are not done every day, but only carried out on special rituals, for example, traditional, religious, and government events. The cooking begins with the preparation of meat, mixed with green spices and vegetables. The mixed ingredients that have been seasoned is arranged in the bark that has been dialed into the inside then tied with a rattan strap and roasted on a flame. The baked cooking material was rotated until the wooden skin was black. The surface appearance of black bark is an indicator of cooked meat and vegetables. Furthermore, when the bark is opened, meat and vegetables are removed and ready to be served. We use qualitative research methods in this study, with literature studies, observation, and interviews as data collection methods. The results show the wealth of knowledge and local wisdom of the Tehit ethnic group in processing food traditionally by the method of wrapping food using bark which is known as qanan. The taste of the food processed with the technique has the aroma of bark combined with the addition of spices that seep into the meat and vegetables. In addition, hot steam from combustion causes food to cook quickly and not scorched, and the process of maturation of food ingredients occurs evenly and delicious. The local wisdom of the Tehit people in the land of Papua is the wealth of Indonesia that must be maintained and preserved because the pattern of cooking Qanan is quite healthy since it does not use cooking oil. Patterns of local food processing in Tehit culture can be used as one of the strategies for overcoming cooking oil scarcity

Ethnomedical use of Dodonaea viscosa for postpartum perineal wound care among Dani tribe women in Puncak Jaya, Indonesia

Maternal mortality remains a pressing issue in many developing countries, with postpartum infections being one of the leading causes. In remote regions of Indonesia, such as the highlands of Papua, traditional healing practices are still widely adopted due to limited access to formal health services. Among the Dani tribe in Puncak Jaya District, the use of Dolli or Dolingga (Dodonaea viscosa) leaves for perineal wound care after childbirth is a longstanding cultural tradition. This study aimed to explore the ethnomedical practices, preparation methods, and perceived therapeutic effects of Dolli leaves in managing postpartum perineal wounds among women in the Dani tribe. A qualitative exploratory design was employed. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with 10 postpartum mothers and 2 key informants, including a health official from the Puncak Jaya District Health Office. Thematic content analysis was applied to identify key patterns and cultural meanings associated with the use of Dolli leaves. The use of Dolli leaves is a generational practice, valued for its accessibility and safety. Leaves are wilted over fire to release their oils, then layered (approximately 3 cm thick), and applied externally by having the mother sit or lie on them. Most participants reported improved perineal wound conditions within 1–4 days, characterized by dryness, lack of odor, and absence of infection. Mild abdominal discomfort was noted by some, though no adverse effects were reported. Cultural taboos such as not stepping on the leaves were observed during use. The leaves were also applied for neonatal umbilical cord care. The ethnomedical use of Dolli leaves for postpartum perineal wound healing reflects culturally embedded knowledge with perceived therapeutic benefits. These findings suggest potential for integrating local ethnomedicine into maternal care in resource-limited settings, pending further clinical and pharmacological validation
