The coconut totem designated as a symbol of the gebze clan has a special meaning. The coconut raised asa symbol of the clan has reason that everyone especially the marind people should be strong, sturdy, growing like a coconut in which the coconut is promoted in the lives of the marin people: it should grow, develop, be sincere (gentle), strong, strong and have a protective nature. By means of qualitative research methods and the type of descriptive research, the writer would do a data collection by observation and interview to collect the necessary data so as to assist the writer in developing the writer's research and be an aid in completing this research that is used as a tool to complete the research.
