Koushe's old name is Sakalan, which was split from the main village upstream of the Sakalan River. In the past, two hunters from the Dawalan tribe of the main village, Sapantje and Salatilimann, went hunting. After arriving at a place (the old Koushe village, named Kauma'an), their hunting dogs refused to leave, so the hunters settled there. Some residents from the main village also moved here. The hunter Sapantje went back to ask Sa'adiu, the fourth son of the chief of the main village, to be the chief of the new settlement, thus forming a new tribe called 'Sakalan'. Above the stone slab pavilion archway at the entrance of the Koushe community are sculptures of the two hunters, their dogs, and the chief. Even today, when someone in the village gets married, betel nuts and oranges woven into garlands are still sent to the homes of the descendants of the two hunters, showing respect for the heroes who founded the tribe. The tribal name of Koushe Village is Sakalan (sagaran). The Sakalan River flowing through Koushe Village is the source of life for the Sagaran people. The Sagaran people have moved their village three times, always staying alongside the Koushe River. To this day, the Sakalan (sagaran) people and the Sakalan (sagaran) River maintain an important interdependent relationship.
