Dialogue: 0,0:00:32.00,0:00:36.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But actually these problems were not from our community.
Dialogue: 0,0:00:36.00,0:00:44.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,They came from one or two individuals that support Mayora moving in onto our land.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:16.00,0:01:25.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But we wanted to investigate how it could have got to Woboyu and then back here?
Dialogue: 0,0:01:25.00,0:01:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,But there was no answer
Dialogue: 0,0:01:28.00,0:01:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,So we felt that the problem did not come from Kampung Yowid.

Dialogue: 0,0:01:39.00,0:01:43.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,We already know that that is how they try to play it.

Dialogue: 0,0:02:31.00,0:02:34.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,And so we signed it that night.
Dialogue: 0,0:02:34.00,0:02:47.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I signed the piece of paper that Mayora brought
Dialogue: 0,0:02:47.00,0:03:05.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Before I signed, they were trying to force me, using political arguments, saying we wanted independence.

Dialogue: 0,0:03:42.00,0:03:52.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,That's why i had to sign
Dialogue: 0,0:03:52.00,0:04:06.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,I don't know where they came up with these ideas about independence
Dialogue: 0,0:04:06.00,0:04:19.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Incredibly, Mayora is trying to find a way in by making political accusations about the adat house.
Dialogue: 0,0:04:19.00,0:04:28.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The adat house is not a place for storing weapons or anything like that
Dialogue: 0,0:04:28.00,0:04:46.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,The adat house is for keeping the sacred things our ancestors left for us

Dialogue: 0,0:06:18.00,0:06:37.00,Default,,0000,0000,0000,,Because the people were going to run to the forest. But it didn't happen, because I signed
