History
According to the local legend, their ancestors were from Minangkabau, Empo Maro and he sailed from Sumatra to Labuan Bajo. [2] Empo Maro fled his village because he was slandered and wanted to be killed. Then he wandered to several cities. First, he stopped in Gowa and then moved to several other cities. During his travels, Maro found a wife and then he invited his wife to move with him. One night, Maro dreamed of meeting a wise person who spoke to Maro to settle and thrive in Wae Rebo. Maro followed what the wise person said and he and his wife searched for Wae Rebo. After arriving in Wae Rebo, Maro and his wife lived and settled there. [3]
Society life
Apart from Wae Rebo's beauty and nature, the village attracts tourists for its lifestyle and social life. The village is inhabited by 44 families whose main livelihoods are in the agricultural sector, which includes coffee, cloves, and tubers. The activities of women in the Wae Rebo are cooking, childcare, weaving, and assisting men in the fields. Wae Rebo residents still maintain a lifestyle that is in accordance with the culture and traditions handed down by their ancestors. [4]
To fulfill their need for clean water, the community uses springs originating from the mountains. These spring sources are called sosor, which are divided into two types: male sosor and female sosor. [5]
