Assalamu 'alaikum Wr.Wb Good afternoon everybody!

First of all, let's thank to Allah who has been given us mercy and blessing until we can attend in this contest together. The into the salawat and salam be u on our ro het !uhammad ".A.W. who has guided us from the darkness into the enlighment world as well as in the ne#t world. !y honourable !r and !rs $udge of this com etition. !y honourable the %omitee. And all my beloved friends, artici ants, and audiens of this contest. "tanding in the front of you all &'d like to resent my english s eech about %ulture from my region is 'los. (adies and Gentleman 'los is one of many &ndonesian traditional dress. &t is heretige and develo ed in )atak ethnic, *orth "umatera. &t is made by traditional weaving. The dominant color are red, black, and white.it usually weaves from gold or silver. (ong time ago, 'los is used as scarf or dress for ceremonial or religion event in )atak culture. )ut now, it is often found in the form of souvenir roducts, tie, table cloth, etc. The meaning of 'los !angulosi + 'los used as wra ing body , is very im ortant activity for indegenous batak eo le. &n many events such as wedding arty, birth or sorrow, 'los always be a art of customary included. Thousand years batak eo le live in high village around Toba (ake. &t is in a higher lace at the to of !ountain, the village has cold tem erature because of it, 'los is very im ortant in )atak society. There are three things in common believe of )atak, who gave life to human body, namelyblood, breath, and warmth. The source of warmth, the ancestors of )atak eo le believe the "un, Fire, and 'los. The "un rises and sets on it's own at any time. The Fire can be lit at any time, but it's not ractical for use in warm body, but not so the case with 'los, it's very ractical to use any where and any time.

'los becomes essential goods and in need of all eo le at any time and any where until the end. 'los has a high value in the middle )atak community. There are many kinds of 'los such as 'los .a/a, 'los )otik, 'los Gobar, 'los "a ut, 'los "ibolang, etc. The challange of 'los develo ing in )atak ethnic is modern culture, because of the ers ective and a reciation of young generation. &n the young generation the function of 'los same as usual fabric dress, not as warmth in friendly symbol of )atak culture. & ho e as the young generation we have to be roud with our culture, such 'los, because if we don't care to our ancestor heretige, it will e#tine from our culture. (adies and Gentleman & think that's all my s eech. &f have many mistakes lease forgive me. Thank you for your attention. "ee you ne#t time. Assalamu 'alaikum Wr.Wb
