Abstract

This research aims to understand the processes, symbols, and meanings embedded in the Moibba’ ritual for daughters of the Boano tribe. This research uses an ethnographic analysis. Ethnographic analysis is an approach that begins with field facts, analyzes them based on cultural theories and relevant arguments to explore the cultural situation of the community, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that the Moibba’ ritual represents a complex rite of passage rich in symbolism, reflecting social transition and identity formation for the Boano tribe’s daughter. This process marks the physical and spiritual transition of the individual undergoing it and communicates the cultural values and spiritual beliefs from the process of womboan (seclusion) until the posugo’an kadera hua’an (sitting on the throne chair). Each specific tool and material, from da’un dauna (betel leaf) to kadera hua’an (throne chair), holds deep symbolic meanings such as protection, cleanliness, honor, and purity, collectively forming a complex tapestry of the Boano tribe’s social and cultural identity. Therefore, it is recommended that the Department of Education and Culture of Parigi Moutong Regency, Customary Institutions, Indigenous Elders, and the Boano indigenous community take strategic steps to preserve and promote the Moibba’ ritual. This includes developing educational programs aimed at enhancing the awareness and understanding of the younger generation about the values and symbolism contained in the Moibba’ ritual, as well as its importance in identity formation and the maintenance of social bonds within the Boano indigenous community. Integrating knowledge about this rite into the local school curriculum is also suggested to ensure the sustainable transmission of cultural knowledge. Developing cultural initiatives such as festivals or exhibitions showcasing the Moibba’ ritual can enhance public appreciation of the Boano tribe’s cultural heritage while strengthening social networks and solidarity among the indigenous people. With these measures, it is hoped that the Moibba’ ritual and the cultural richness of the Boano tribe can be preserved and continue to thrive amidst the challenges of modernity and globalization.

Abstract

This research aims to understand the role of the Mappadendang ritual as part of the Bugis ethnicity’s identity in the area of the Kaili indigenous people and the benefits of the Mappadendang ritual for social life in Kasimbar Palapi Village. This research uses an ethnographic analysis. Ethnographic analysis is an approach that begins with field facts, analyzes them based on cultural theories and relevant arguments to explore the cultural situation of the community, and ultimately yields a conclusion. The results show that the Mappadendang ritual is an essential means for the Bugis ethnicity in the area of the Kaili indigenous people to maintain and express their cultural identity. Through elements such as traditional cake, traditional cuisine, and bodo attire, the Bugis ethnicity demonstrates solidarity and pride in their cultural heritage. Moreover, this tradition provides broad social benefits, including strengthening interethnic fellowship, enhancing social relationships, fostering social care, reinforcing cultural identity, and boosting the spirit of rice farming. Therefore, it is recommended that the Department of Education and Culture of Parigi Moutong Regency support the preservation and adaptation of the Mappadendang ritual by providing facilities and platforms for the Bugis ethnicity and other ethnicities to showcase and share their cultural values. The government should also ensure the availability and affordability of fertilizers and streamline the irrigation process for rice farming, which is a crucial element of the Mappadendang ritual. To the traditional leaders of the Bugis ethnicity, Kaili indigenous people, and other ethnic groups, it is recommended that they continue collaborating in organizing the Mappadendang ritual as a platform for interethnic fellowship and to strengthen cultural identity. The community in Kasimbar Palapi Village is encouraged to continue participating in and supporting this activity. With good cooperation among all parties, the Mappadendang ritual can continue to be preserved as a valuable cultural heritage, enriching diversity and strengthening cultural identity in a region rich with multiple identities.
