(Soetomo, 1995:58)In line with the above Butet Manurung also noted that, stronghold means dirty, primitive, pagan, or other similar meanings. This word actually comes from The Jungle which was used by outsiders to show the identity of the man Woods is "primitive." Later, the mention of this fact affect the outlook and behavior of people confronted with Woods when outsiders. They become feel inferior and lose confidence in himself. (Manurung, 2007:41)2. Ethnic Origin of Child (The Jungle)About the origin of Ethnic Child (Muchlas, 1975) mentions a variety of stories / tales from the oral narrative: Stories Gelumpang Fruit, Tambo Child (Minangkabau), Kayu Hitam The Story, Story Series Central Sumatra, Jambi and the Dutch War Stories, Stories Tambo Srivijaya, Ulu Big Story derivatives and Bayat, The Story of One faction.From the story / saga is Muchlas draw the conclusion that the Child came from three offspring:1. Descendants of South Sumatra, mostly living in the region Batanghari district.2. The descendants of Minangkabau generally in Bungo Tebo some Mersan.3. Jambi is a descendant of the Original Black Water Kubu Bangko Sarolangun District.Another version of the origin according to The Wilderness itself in Dissertation Muntholib Soetomo namely, a courageous named Bujang Noman. On one day have fruit gelumpang and taken to his house. One night she dreamed for gelumpang fruit was wrapped with white cloth that will be a miracle, which transformed into a beautiful princess. Princess was invited mating Bujang Noman, but Bujang Noman said that no one who marry them. Princess said: "Cut a piece of wood and peeled bayur then lintangkan in the river, you walk from one end of my pitch. If kiata can compete forehead on the wood that means we're mating. " The request was met by Bujang Noman and fulfilled all the conditions, then the two became husband and wife. From the marriage was born four children, namely Bujang Malapangi, Dewo Single, Princess
