Kalwedo is legal evidence of the ownership of indigenous peoples in Southwest Maluku. It is joint ownership of life with siblings.

Kalwedo has rooted in cultural life and language of indigenous peoples  on Babar and Southwest Maluku islands. Kalwedo's cultural inheritance is carried out in the form of language games, daily plays, customs, and discourses.

Kalwedo is taken from a regional language word that has theological, philosophical and sociological values where the meaning of the word is a greeting word for everyone in Southwest Maluku Regency.

The Kalwedo culture unites the people in the Babar and in Southwest Maluku islands in a customary kinship, which unites the community into a house of prayer and a customary palace belonging to each other. Kalwedo values are implemented in the traditional kinship greeting across islands and countries, namely, inanara ama yali (sister and brother).

Inanara ama yali describes the virtues of life and the human heritage of Southwest Maluku people, which includes the totality of heart, soul, thought and behavior. Kalwedo values bind the bonds of brotherhood in the community through the living tradition of Niolilieta / Hiolilieta / Siolilieta (living side by side well).
