Abstract

The tourism sector is the main pillar of economic development in the context of the modernization era. So it can be said that tourism is an industry. The tourism industry that is being developed is based on culture. In the Nagari Sujunjung Indigenous Village, the development of a culture-based tourism industry can be seen through changing cultural elements such as the Rumah Gadang and Bakaua Adat rituals which are packaged in the form of a Matrilineal Festival by the government. This packaging is often referred to as commodification. With a qualitative method, the results show that the two cultures (tourism and local culture) become 'must' be modified to bridge and as a lubricant to respond to global challenges, so a dialogue will occur between the two. The dialogue is due to tourism having 'trace' and 'official' standards as well as culture having deep-rooted ideals. On the one hand, the noble cultural values of the community continue to be 'glorified' but on the other hand it is very interesting to be 'packaged'. However, local wisdom continues to be praised as a tradition that needs to be cared for and passed on, but its material and spiritual references are getting faded and messy. Apparently (in the era of globalization) it is not the tradition that needs to be defended, but the image of the tradition which is very easy to display (trade). On the other hand, efforts to commodify culture as a tourism industry are built on orientalist discourses, such as the living museum in the Nagari Sijujung Indigenous Village.

Abstract

For the Mentawai people in Rereiket, pigs are very important animals. This is reflected in their social and cultural life through traditional ceremonies (punen). Pigs are used as an intermediary (gaud) in a traditional ceremony whose purposes are offerings, worship, symbols and requests for thanks and fortune-telling activities. This is motivated by the belief of the Rereiket People, namely Arat Sabulungan which regulates human relations with nature, fellow humans and other creatures (spirits). In addition, pigs also function as the most important property, because they can be used as dowry payments (alat toga), tulou (customary fines) and trade (economics) and otcai (gifts). The relationship that the Rereiket people build with pigs is a cultural ploy, where the insistence on modernization through development has obscured the culture of the Rereiket people. Thus, inside the Uma (traditional house) the skull of a pig's head is displayed and becomes a symbol that the ritual continues. The pig skull is called Ute 'Sainak which means that even in the urgency of modernization the cultural agenda (custom rituals) still takes place in the living spaces of the Rereiket people. So that Ute' Sainak became a strategy to maintain the life and cultural identity of the Mentawai people in Rereiket.
