Abstract

In the remote islands of North Pagai, South Pagai, Sipora, and Siberut, the ancient art of tattooing is on the verge of extinction. However, amidst this cultural decline, a unique endeavor emerges in the heart of Mentawai: the preservation of tattoos through the intricate art of Mentawai tattoo batik. This qualitative ethnographic study delves into the depths dicourse of Mentawai tattoo batik, illuminating its significance in the preservation of Mentawai's rich tattoo heritage. Through meticulous observations across the four islands of Mentawai and in-depth interviews with tattoo owners, particularly the revered Sikerei who lead the sacred Lia rituals, this research uncovers the profound narrative woven within each tattoo motif. In Matotonan Village, once vibrant with tattoo culture, youth no longer hold tattoos in high regard, risking the loss of this ancient tradition. Yet, amidst this cultural shift, Mentawai elders embark on a noble mission: to immortalize the sacred symbols of their ancestors by transferring Mentawai tattoo motifs onto clothing. This symbolic gesture not only safeguards the legacy of Mentawai tattoos but also ensures their transmission to future generations. For the Mentawai people, tattoos transcend mere body art; they embody the sacred connection between humanity and the natural world of Mentawai. As efforts to preserve these timeless symbols gain momentum, batik adorned with Mentawai tattoo motifs emerges as a beacon of hope, igniting a revival of cultural pride and heritage in the heart of Mentawai. Through the production of tattoo motif batik as a burgeoning home industry, the legacy of Mentawai tattoos finds new life, promising to endure for generations to come.

Abstract

 The Educational Profession course is crucial to teacher training, however transitioning to independent learning curricula is difficult. Teaching resources that fit the changing educational landscape are a big challenge. This study proposes incorporating cultural discourse into educational professional teaching resources to meet independent learning curricular requirements. To create these innovative instructional resources, a 4-D development model—define, design, develop, and disseminate—was painstakingly followed. The study focused on Padang's acclaimed PGRI University of West Sumatra's teachers and students. Observation, interviews, and testing collected data. Field tests showed the training materials were practical and effective. This study found: First, the teaching materials perfectly matched student needs. Second, the design phase produced useful learning aids to supplement the teaching content. Finally, the development phase produced a comprehensive integration of cultural discourse-based teaching materials for the Education Profession course, anchored by a Discourse Analysis Approach, displaying excellent validity. Field experiments showed promising results: The integrated learning approach's success and students' responses confirmed the teaching materials' usefulness. Students' better learning outcomes showed the instructional materials' usefulness, even though lecturers' comprehension and application varied. Cultural dialogue in educational professional teaching materials enhances learning and creates a more inclusive and engaging educational environment, according to the findings. The research recommends continual adaptation and improvement of teaching approaches to ensure lasting educational impact, as success depended on learning process and demographic aspects. In conclusion, this research is a pioneering endeavour to improve the Educational Profession course through cultural discourse, bridging the gap between traditional teaching methods and independent learning pedagogies. The study emphasizes the necessity of culturally responsive and effective learning ecosystems, setting a precedent for future curriculum design and educational practises.

Abstract

This paper explores the role and identity of the Jalur Shaman within the Pacu Jalur rowing tradition inKuantan Singingi Regency, Indonesia. While the original approach adopts a historical-biographicalmethod, this revision reframes the study through a discourse-analytic lens to better interrogate how theshaman’s role, ritual language, and spiritual objects function as symbolic practices. The central figure,Jasri, a renowned shaman, guides the spiritual preparation of rowing teams through ritual prayers,protective symbols, and oral transmission of traditional values. Drawing from interviews and culturalobservation, the study investigates how speech, artifacts, and biography co-construct the Jalur Shaman'slegitimacy. Adopting theoretical insights from Critical Discourse Analysis and Ritual Theory, the studyanalyzes prayers as performative speech acts and the shaman’s tools (e.g., knives, necklaces) as culturaltexts encoding meanings of defense, identity, and cosmological belief. The article reveals how theauthority of a shaman is not inherited, but constructed through community narratives, ritualperformance, and symbolic alignment with ancestral power. Findings suggest that the shaman’s discoursesustains a sacred space where tradition is enacted, remembered, and renewed. Beyond preservingheritage, Jasri’s role reflects resistance against modern secularization and provides a platform forcollective spiritual identity in the postcolonial context. The study recommends incorporating discourse-sensitive approaches to analyze spiritual roles in Indigenous communities and preserving oral texts as partof intangible cultural heritage. Future research could explore the tension between institutional religiousframeworks and localized spiritual discourse in similar traditions across Southeast Asia.
