Kalwedo is valid evidence of the ownership of indigenous people in Southwest Maluku. It is a shared ownership of the common life of brothers and sisters. Kalwedo has taken root in the culture and language of the indigenous people of the Babar and Southwest Maluku islands. The inheritance of Kalwedo culture is carried out in the form of language games, daily plays, customs and speech.

Kalwedo culture unites people in the Babar islands and in Southwest Maluku in a customary kinship, which unites the community into a house of prayer and a customary palace that belongs together. The value of Kalwedo is implemented in the traditional greeting of kinship across islands and lands, namely, inanara ama yali (sisters and brothers).

Inanara ama yali illustrates the virtues of life and the human heritage of the people of Southwest Maluku, which includes the totality of heart, soul, mind and behavior. The Kalwedo values bind the community's brotherhood through the living tradition of Niolilieta/hiolilieta/siolilieta (good living together).
