Cakalele dance
Cakalele refers to a kind of ceremonial war dance originating from North and Central Maluku. The dance is performed using a narrow, wooden shield, sometimes also referred as a cakalele, though usually known by the North Moluccan Malay term sawako or by a local name, such as Tobelo o dadatoko.
Cakalele is also the name of a now-defunct inter-disciplinary journal of Maluku studies published by the Center for Southeast Asian Studies at the University of Hawai'i between 1990 and 2000 and housed in the ScholarSpace institutional repository of the university. [1] The journal publishes the results of research about Maluku and Maluku communities in Indonesia and the Netherlands and chronicled the growth of Maluku in humanities and the sciences as it expanded geographically.
