Abstract

Indigenous women's environmental knowledge often operates outside formal governance structures,raising questions about alternative forms of ecological stewardship. This ethnographic study examines howthe Ammatoan women in Kajang, South Sulawesi, exercise environmental authority through the Andingingiritual despite political marginalization. This study used a qualitative descriptive approach, utilizingethnographic data collected during the preparation and conduct of the Andingingi ritual. The data werecollected at the research site through ethnographic fieldwork conducted between December 2024 andFebruary 2025. This research analyzed women's spiritual practices as environmental governancemechanisms. Women assume central authority as ritual coordinators who manage environmentalprotection through spiritual mediation with ancestral, natural, and Tu Riek Akrakna entities. Their rolesdemonstrate environmental governance through "cooling the earth" practices that prevent ecologicaldisasters while maintaining cultural continuity. These spiritual authorities operate independently fromformal political exclusion, creating parallel systems of environmental management. The study reveals howindigenous women's ritual practices constitute environmental governance systems that transcendconventional formal-informal power distinctions, contributing to scholarship on indigenous feminism andenvironmental stewardship.
