The Fatagar Kingdom (Papuan Malay: Petuanan Fatagar) is the kingdom of the Uswanas clan. Located in Merapi, east of the city of Fakfak, Fakfak Regency, West Papua, Indonesia.^[1] Petuanan Fatagar has its customary territory in Fakfak District and Pariwari District.^[2]

History[]

Initially the Fatagar Kingdom was in Onin, but due to conflict with the kingdom of Rumbati, this kingdom moved to Ega Island. Then move back to Merapi until now. The first king was named Maraitat. During Tidore's reign, the king was a trading agent for Tidore's interests, and was subject to Tidore Sultanate. After the Dutch came to power, the kings were confirmed by the Dutch and given a salary. They became partners for the Dutch government, although in almost all aspects the Dutch intervened.^[3]

In the 1880s it was one of the most important kingdoms in the Fakfak area. At that time the Papuans had the right to go to live on Seram Island, where they also had families there.^[4] Then the ancestor of king Fatagar returned and was crowned king. All the kings who ruled Fatagar were known to be quite good and wise kings. Now he is an important politician in Fakfak district, namely King Said Arobi Uswanas of the Fatagar kingdom.^[5]

Most of the kingdoms here were ruled by dynasties descended from the Rumbati dynasty, or were created locally semi-royal (later independent) by the Rumbati. Fatagar is one of the royal roots and a descendant dynasty of the Rumbati dynasty.^[6]

List of Kings[]

Legacy[]

The development of the Fatagar Kingdom was also very dependent on the intervention of the Tidore Sultanate, so that not much historical evidence could be gathered regarding the social and cultural life in this Kingdom, including the spread of Islam.^[7] One of the historical relics found in Fakfak is the Tunasgain Mosque which is estimated to be more than 400 years old.^[8]
