[06:54]Guest: Well, famous... very... very famous for agriculture they were. With livestock.

[07:01]Guest: The things in Maratê are not like before... they were very [abundant with] grass and such.

[07:05]Guest: The traces of the past didn't remain much.

[07:07]Guest: Before there were caves, outside... most were in the caves.

[07:11]Guest: Later, after the caves... one, two built houses... they settled in them.

[07:16]Guest: And then the world advanced, progress... development... they built clean courtyard houses...

[07:22]Guest: And people advanced, it was good, love increased. There were no problems in our village.

[07:31]Guest: And our village, our village is also a very ancient village.

[07:35]Guest: We have a tree, a tree... they call it... the Gelberiyê tree.

[07:41]Guest: Its trunk makes ten... [if] five or six men hold each other's hands, their hands don't reach each other. It's very big.

[07:48]Guest: They say it's two hundred years, four hundred years [old]... that tree. It's very ancient.

[07:52]Guest: Some say three hundred years, some say five hundred years. Everyone gives a different explanation.

[08:05]Narrator: In the village, there are more than 500 houses and its population is approximately 3000 people...

[08:11]Narrator: ...including those residing in major countries and in the diaspora.

[08:15]Narrator: A number of old houses made of wood and mud according to the arch system are spread in the village...

[08:22]Narrator: ...and the oldest of these houses is the house of Mr. Sheikh Zakariya and also Mr. Hajji Izzat.

[10:36]Speaker 1: Well, my name is Shiyar, Shiyar Mihemed Shexo, from the village of Maratê.

[10:41]Speaker 1: And things, those heritage things, belonging to our ancestors, I collect.

[10:45]Speaker 1: For example, so the heritage of fathers and grandfathers doesn't disappear. Old things, like there is the threshing sled...

[10:50]Speaker 1: Wooden plows, harrows, things, you know, old things. Heritage, belonging to our ancestors. For example, there is the threshing sled.

[10:58]Speaker 1: There are agricultural tools, there are household ones.

[11:00]Speaker 1: Like agricultural ones, that they used to work with in the past, for example. Instead of lamps and wood...

[11:06]Speaker 1: And household ones, old copper things, like wooden things, cartridge belts... they used to go hunting with them in the past.

[11:14]Speaker 1: That's it. And the others... we have animals. Peacocks, chickens, doves, and just small things, animal things like that, we find comfort in them.

[11:23]Speaker 1: We pass our time with them.

[11:25]Speaker 1: And the other thing, thirdly... the courtyard... I have built it for myself, like there is a fountain in it, there is a tandoor I built, an oven, like the shape of the heritage of the past.

[11:34]Speaker 1: We make bread on wood fire in it. Bringing the meaning of the past to my memory.

[11:38]Speaker 1: That is what I have.

[11:39]Speaker 1: Well, this thing we learned from our elder. The passion... my father was also like that, he loved collecting things like this, we also learned.

[11:48]Speaker 1: So, even if it wasn't seen as shameful, we follow our roots.

[11:52]Speaker 1: Everything is this, our roots, and so the new generation knows. So it isn't forgotten, so our Kurmanji heritage isn't forgotten, the Afrin region in general isn't forgotten.

[11:59]Speaker 1: And the village of Maratê, in the past, with pomegranates and... also olives and... things like that, vineyards and...

[12:07]Speaker 1: They did their work with them. Now, most are olives, and they plant the land, for example. Vegetables, wheat, things like that they plant.

[12:15]Speaker 1: This is the main thing with us, Maratê.

[12:18]Speaker 1: There are many things, about two floors, there are about 1400 pieces with me, old ones.

[12:22]Speaker 1: I have bought many things. And the others belong to the elders, to my grandfather's house, remaining like that.

[12:27]Speaker 1: And many friends also brought them for me. Friends saw them with me, knew I had a passion for this, they gave me the things of fathers and ancestors.

[12:34]Speaker 1: Saying, "Let it be with you, you preserve it." As for selling, we do not sell.

[12:37]Speaker 1: We buy, we do not sell. These things, so the meaning doesn't get lost.

[12:41]Speaker 1: I preserve them with me.

[12:43]Speaker 1: Well, things, old ones as I said are many. Secondly, things of my grandfather are very many. Of my grandfather's house.

[12:50]Speaker 1: Like, for example, old roofs and arches and things, I took them out from there.

[12:54]Speaker 1: And there are some I bought. And some friends gave to me. Like in the village someone has a piece, they give it to me.

[13:00]Speaker 1: And many are... "we give to you", some ask for money, they give to me for money. If they don't give, we buy.

[13:07]Speaker 1: And these tools, we do not sell. We preserve them with me. This is our Afrin heritage we are preserving.

[13:12]Speaker 1: Like, if we were to sell a piece, we won't sell. As long as we can, we collect. We don't... sell.

[13:17]Speaker 1: So that this heritage of ours doesn't get lost.

[13:18]Speaker 1: We follow our roots. You saw, I built a room for myself, a wooden room, we placed them in it.

[13:25]Speaker 1: Like, everywhere, whenever possible we sit in it. We... like it happens a lot, we go very far back.

[13:31]Speaker 1: Well, this basic wood, and things made of stone, wood and earth, this gives the old feeling, I create its meaning.

[13:38]Speaker 1: Like this is also like heritage. Like now... stone for example, cut stone...

[13:43]Speaker 1: No, this wood is better, it also gives an old look. Secondly, I build it myself, this is all my own handiwork.

[13:48]Speaker 1: For example, like the oven I built, the tandoor... Like this fountain, it is my work now, I build it myself.

[13:55]Speaker 1: Wood, or stone, this is my work. I work in it myself. Electricity, water, this is my main work basically.

[14:01]Speaker 1: And the other I produce, with wood, trees... like wood, this is one thing... it gives a very old look, we create its meaning.

[14:08]Speaker 1: Our passion for wood is great, and it was earth.

[14:10]Speaker 1: If we build a house, we can build an earthen house like before. Like with pillars and earth.

[14:14]Speaker 1: Now, our situation isn't like that.

[14:16]Speaker 1: Well, I said a lot, I make this thing...

[14:19]Speaker 1: I feel the past life with it. Although we didn't see it, but I feel it, having done this work.

[14:24]Speaker 1: That is its meaning. Like, my desire is this. Like my grandfather before, we hadn't gone... they were earthen houses, wooden ones.

[14:30]Speaker 1: Like I feel it, I lived that day of our living.

[14:32]Speaker 1: That is mine, that is my great desire.

[14:34]Speaker 1: There are artists, like singers, lute players in the village, it's known, there are some in our village.

[14:39]Speaker 1: But this heritage thing, no one competes with me. I am the only one keeping it.

[14:43]Speaker 1: But otherwise there are in our village, families... of the lute, of songs, these are known, they call them the house of Chawishler.

[14:49]Speaker 1: Those exist. And there are carpenters in it, they make things.

[14:52]Speaker 1: But this heritage thing, these old things, no one keeps them.

[14:55]Speaker 1: Whether they keep them now, I don't know.

[17:10]Speaker 2: Mistefa Ebdulrehman Ose from Maratê.

[17:14]Speaker 2: In the past, the line that we saw... our side, the western side.

[17:19]Speaker 2: In its side... it was fifteen inches. Until the saplings of the plain...

[17:25]Speaker 2: They planted cotton in the summer, and water was plentiful.

[17:30]Speaker 2: I'm going.

[17:31]Speaker 2: We saw it, now they planted cotton, they sent water, it was good.

[17:37]Speaker 2: Later... there was no water. Like, inside the struggle. Either with wheels, or with buckets, they went and provided water from the side.

[17:46]Speaker 2: They washed their pots, their outsides, they went with containers, washed their heads.

[17:51]Speaker 2: They provided water with... either with wheels... or with three heads... or ornaments they placed.

[17:56]Speaker 2: And later... wells were made.

[17:59]Speaker 2: We put a point, [using] Shahin number three.

[18:04]Speaker 2: Is the "Mar" still in your memory...

[18:06]Speaker 2: The press was made, we... this line... we drive this... it was better.

[18:14]Speaker 2: It was better.

[18:16]Speaker 2: Ah, I saw, our house was near that big tree, that oak. Our press worked quickly during Eid.

[18:22]Speaker 2: Morning of Eid, two days, three days, four days of Eid...

[18:26]Speaker 2: They gave force... until morning came, until midnight, they pulled the line, they brought out, with men's hands under the... and the water channels.

[18:35]Speaker 2: They smoked around Eid.

[18:37]Speaker 2: Our house was deep, our press was active.

[18:40]Speaker 2: Like several people worked on it, extracted oil, with the aid of animals.

[18:44]Speaker 2: There were mules, there were mules, there were horses.

[18:47]Speaker 2: Their olives were few. Our olives of... like our grandfather, our father, our grandfather, produced olives.

[18:55]Speaker 2: The olives...

[18:57]Speaker 2: For example, they went and placed sacks, back then the season was small like this for olives.

[19:03]Speaker 2: The fathers, for example, brought them, there was a courtyard. And they brought the lines.

[19:09]Speaker 2: And they ground them.

[19:10]Speaker 2: Then... there was that, the baskets, they brought them.

[19:14]Speaker 2: One hundred, two hundred were by twisting. Manual. Not by pressure.

[19:19]Speaker 2: Now they extract oil there, then bring it.

[19:22]Speaker 2: Then...

[19:23]Speaker 2: Humans are skinned. Olives were plenty, harvest was plenty, the presses are better.

[19:30]Speaker 2: The presses are better...

[19:32]Speaker 2: The press, a hundred sacks, two hundred sacks, three hundred sacks they put, we brought, it was good.

[19:37]Speaker 2: And we saw like this... like before we saw our press existed, and one in that place, the press had a role.

[19:44]Speaker 2: Of course, olives also disappeared at that time. Now that oil belonged to the press.

[19:47]Speaker 2: Separators didn't exist. The oil came... the oil... on top they spilled it.

[19:52]Speaker 2: And they extracted the oil. And like the press, the press... olives come to you...

[19:56]Speaker 2: In that place, oil comes from the separator into your tin.

[19:58]Speaker 2: Like it was very good.

[20:00]Old Man: Meaning, until July, regarding the three grains in the body of the world, they talk about it, it would come and go, that soil of the world, eating by the hand of God, how the grains would form, by the power of the Lord of the World. Today they call it the shrine of Khidr Elias...

[20:15]Old Man: The shrine of Khidr Ali... meaning it was a shrine. For example, rain would come in the spring... It would come, [but if] rain did not fall... meaning... I remember we used to leave it, for example, on the second Friday, people would go for charity and blessings, [sacrificing] cattle, lambs, the people would slaughter them.

[20:33]Old Man: And they would call upon their Lord, the world [people] would do it... meaning... upon that face [for the sake of that], rain would fall, rain of charity and blessing would fall. Yes, this existed.

[20:42][Music]

[20:52]Narrator: Ma'arata, a large village distinguished by its construction rising progressively from the bottom to the top, upon the slopes of two facing mountains.

[21:02]Narrator: Adjacent to the village is a valley called the Deep Valley, "Galyê Kûr". In the village, next to the spring, stands an ancient oak tree, nearly four hundred years old.

[21:13]Narrator: It has a thick trunk that requires four people with outstretched arms holding hands to be able to embrace the entire trunk of the tree.

[21:21]Narrator: In the village, there are two old presses, inaugurated inside two of the caves scattered throughout the village.

[21:28]Narrator: This village was also known for its artistic, vocational, and heritage figures. Among them, Ali Ramzi, the Buzuq player, and also Muhammad Ramzi, the Buzuq player, carpenter, and barber.

[21:38]Narrator: Khalid Bakr, a brilliant Buzuq player. Also Maestro Ali, the supervisor of sound equipment at events and weddings. And the heritage singer Abdulraouf. And the brilliant artist Muhammad Jawish.

[21:54][Music]

[22:01]Narrator: And also the amateur collector of agricultural and historical heritage, Yashar Ahmed Chaqali. The family brilliant in folklore and solo dancing, the Rashid Ribi family.

[22:14]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Welcome, peace be upon you. I am Ahmed Abdulrahman Abu Shiyar, my number [referring to ID/reg], born in '56. I was personally an employee in Aleppo.

[22:25]Ahmed Abdulrahman: We worked, and after we retired, we returned and settled in our village. After sitting in the village, we started working, going here and there, we did some pruning/tree work, and we got annoyed [tired].

[22:39]Ahmed Abdulrahman: At that time there was firewood, olive stumps. We said let's do the pruning... well, we had a [dull] saw, we had a hammer. Meaning the work... there wasn't even a proper saw itself, we hadn't worked on this thing, we hadn't worked on it before.

[22:51]Ahmed Abdulrahman: I brought out the pruning shears and openly faced it, I brought it out, I was fixing it up, I brought these things out. It's been like five or six months I've been working on this thing. Yes.

[22:59]Ahmed Abdulrahman: And we made these things, things originally from the past... our plowing/stubble tools, they used to do that with these things, whether it's the wooden roller, the wooden harrow, or the plow beam.

[23:09]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Meaning, in the past, there were no tractors, they plowed with a pair [of animals] and cattle. The harrow... there were no tractors or threshers, again they used cattle to do the harrowing.

[23:19]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Whether wheat, or lentils, they loaded them and brought them to the threshing floor. There was a threshing sled (cercer)... we tied the threshing sled to the cattle, and we crushed [the crops] with it. Meaning wheat, or lentils, or chickpeas, we ground/threshed with it. So, these things existed.

[23:36]Ahmed Abdulrahman: There is a cradle, cradles were made of wood. In the past, they put the small children in it, rocked them, hung them up. With that, they stood/stayed.

[23:45]Ahmed Abdulrahman: There was no... in the past this... that sickle, iron, hand-mill to pound the wheat and extract it. We made sheaves from... [unclear, possibly place name or material]... we pounded it, meaning so the chaff would come off.

[23:59]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Later we had a delûb [winnowing/cleaning tool], then we had a hand-mill, we ground it, that wheat, after we boiled it, we crushed it, made it into bulgur, meaning, well, for eating.

[24:10]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Yes, that is one, one of our old things. Well, its own beauty, we just finished with the olive trees. When I cleaned a stump/trunk, what a place, I pruned this, once I cleaned a stump like this, pruned it from the spot, it comes out like a painting.

[24:25]Ahmed Abdulrahman: I cleaned/polished the olive stump, and from those olive stumps I made these... those things.

[24:30]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Mara[te]... in the past there were springs. The Spring of Marate was famous, they spoke of the pomegranates of Marate. In the past, they went down to Bassouta, the pomegranates of Marate were famous. Its spring had much water, it remained over, it went and flowed into the Afrin river.

[24:42]Ahmed Abdulrahman: So there were pomegranates at that time. Later the pomegranates dried up, became wood. So everyone turned their land into olives. In the past, these olives weren't there. We planted chickpeas, we planted vegetable gardens, meaning we did this work. We were living in the village, meaning, at that time.

[25:03]Ahmed Abdulrahman: So, after that happened, there was no land left for chickpeas, it all became olives, and all green, there was no work left. So everyone left, one went to Aleppo to do pruning/work.

[25:13]Ahmed Abdulrahman: And again friends, neighbors, those who are here, we would come together, we come in the evening, we sit like this, we play cards, meaning... we sit together. Our love [for each other] was better than before. Praise be to God, it is good.

[25:25]Ahmed Abdulrahman: Well, there are. There is another one, he works as a barber himself. He also makes these things, he makes small handles for knives, meaning plows, armrests, etc., they exist, he makes harrows and plows. Meaning he makes bits and bobs.

[25:39]Ahmed Abdulrahman: And there is also another one, Ahmed Abu Shiyar, they call him... There is Ahmed Shiyar. He also [collects] things... steps... our old, essential things. He collects all these things, our heritage, of our grandfathers and... our ancestors. It is with me, these things exist. So, he also collects those things.

[25:57]Ahmed Abdulrahman: No, the... our interest, we say, meaning let the kids know, this new generation that is coming out, let them know what work we did in the past. With what difficulty we did this work, meaning.

[26:09]Ahmed Abdulrahman: That implies that our Kurdish heritage should remain, the place where we worked. Whether it's the harrow, these things now, or any old thing from the past.

[26:17]Ahmed Abdulrahman: I wish for us to be good to each other. Like that, that we may all be one with each other. Like that, whether it's at a funeral, at a wedding, or during sickness, let us look after each other, let us not forget each other.

[26:31]Ahmed Abdulrahman: And the things of the past, let us remember [lit: forget, but context implies 'recall' or he misspoke and meant 'let's not forget']... whatever existed in the past, let us remember those things. Let us create new things and move forward with them.

[26:37]Musician: I am Jan, father of Remzi, you requested a heritage Maqam, we will play for it/you... "Cruel Sorrow" (Xemê Zalim).

[26:50]Musician: I present this for... Muhammad Ali Tijo... from the buildings/foundations of the village of Hesen Dêra, a thousand mercies be upon his grave, and upon all the deceased of you who are present.

[27:07]Musician: He also liked "Xemê Zalim". If we are able to sing/say it, we give "Xemê Zalim" for him. Oh, Cruel Sorrow...

[34:25]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Elî Tico, we sat [together], we sat together a lot, especially lately we sat together... uh... he used to come to Maratê village.

[34:30]Elî Remzî Xaçê: We can even say, we are distant maternal cousins.

[34:40]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Meaning... art, it opens life for everyone. And it is the atmosphere of your youth.

[34:45]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Or... to express pain... the air of the wound, the music in it, the song in it... whether from Elî Tico, or from Cemîl Horo, may God have mercy on them... whoever is present in the gathering.

[34:55]Elî Remzî Xaçê: It is a hobby, an interest.

[35:00]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Meaning music is always... and your art naturally exists. And the hobby... can happen for anyone.

[35:10]Elî Remzî Xaçê: As for me, I play at home. Sometimes marriages happen, [people] like you come to me, I play.

[35:15]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Sometimes there are weddings, they invite me, I go.

[35:20]Elî Remzî Xaçê: There aren't [many] artists... meaning there are artists in our family... otherwise there aren't many artists in our village.

[35:30]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Mihemed Şo, Wehîd... my cousin... They are the old ones of Turkey.

[35:37]Elî Remzî Xaçê: Maratê, we haven't seen an owner, we have been in the village. Meaning we haven't seen an owner, we were in Maratê. And until today, Marat is ancient. The world is old, you know. And the village, we haven't seen an owner, we were with the villagers.
