Every April, a tribal war takes place in this region, the staging of which is a long deep cultural tradition. It's a hell of a walk to the battle area. There will be charging horsemen, spearthrowing and deaths. Spectators are tolerated. Being excellent bareback horsemen, Sumbanese combatants charge along circular runways tangential to each other. When their courses intersect they try to club their opponent from his mount, slamming him to the ground with the butt end of a spear. Women are the chief observers and supporters of these combats, each cheering loudly for her favorite. (The 'vibrated shriek' songs of the women of Sumba were once used ritually to welcome their husbands back from headhunting expeditions.) Sumba boxing contests: Prior to combat each fist of the combatants is wrapped in a wild grass leaf, the. barbed edges of which can produce vicious wounds. Swipes across the eyes are highly prized as blood flowing from such wounds blinds the opponent and usually causes his defeat.
