Abstract

The purpose of this research is to describe the badu tradition as an effort to preserve local natural resources reasonably and becomes a system of equitable distribution of natural resources for the poor. This research uses ethnographic methods by identifying the structure of indigenous peoples that allows the application of the badu tradition from generation to generation. The results show two important things. First, the badu tradition is a traditional ecological knowledge of Watodiri, which contains rules and prohibitions in maintaining the balance of the marine ecosystem locally. This tradition supported by the belief that the sea has a spirit that needs to be maintained so that the sea can provide a life for the community. Second, the badu tradition shows the altruism of the Watodiri people through sharing the catch of those in need, such as widows and orphans. Badu is a food sharing system for the poor. Widows and orphans get a place and share in the celebration of the badu tradition. Widows and orphans have a special place in the social structure of Watodiri, so that; their lives are the responsibility of all Watodiri people.

Abstract

The objectives of this study are (1) to describe the barter du-hope tradition as a traditional Lamalera exchange system of goods in a subsistence economic system, (2) to explain the barter du-hope tradition resulting in a new kinship competition (prefo) based on mutual trust between communities. This study uses ethnographic methods to be able to get emic of the du-hope barter system. The study was conducted in four villages, namely Lamalera, Wulandoni, Puor and Labalimut. The results showed two main theses. First, the barter du-hope tradition is the economic defence system of the local community. Barter du-hope became the food security system of the Lamalera coastal community and the mountain community. Secondly, du-hope barter transactions create new relationships built on strong social trust. Prefo is a new kinship like family (outside of biological kinship) built on mutual trust between the people of Lamalera and other communities in the mountain area. Social trust is created by exchanging and sharing food items and building joint needs. Preference is a complete moral relationship with a sense and desire to help one another. This research provides support for the development of the local economy by providing support and space for the protected system of the barter du-hope Lamalera, which is now being threatened by the capitalist economic system and the global market.
