Sionomhudon

Sionom Hudon lies in the Kelasen country of northern Sumatra, among the highlands west of Lake Toba. Its name is associated with a group of Batak lineages, including the Tinambunan, Tumanggor, Maharaja, Turutan, Pinayungan and Nahampun. Local tradition connects the name with the giving of a cooking pot and land to a married man establishing a new household. The area is also part of the homeland of Pakpak Kelasen speakers.
