Abstract

Traditional ceremonies are one of the traditions of indigenous peoples that are considered to still have values that are quite relevant to the needs of the supporting community. In addition to being a human effort to connect with the spirits of ancestors, it is also a form of human ability to actively adapt to nature or the environment in a broad sense. This research aims to analyze one of the traditional ceremonies in Indonesia, especially in Samparong Village, Sikka Regency. The traditional ceremony is called Tuan Tewo. The researcher uses qualitative methods. The data collection techniques used in this research are interviews and documentation. The results discuss several stages in the Tuan Tewo ceremony process. Tuan Tewo ceremony process has two stages, namely the ritual preparation stage and the implementation stage. In addition, this research found Samparong community perspectives towards the Tuan Tewo traditional ceremony in Samparong Village, where the Tuan Tewo traditional ceremony is only a form of preserving their culture and customs left by their ancestors. The impact of not implementing the Tuan Tewo traditional ceremony is that this is quite old ancestral heritage and various bad things hit the farmers' crops. Therefore, the Samparong community in Sikka Regency has to maintain the tradition of the Tuan Tewo ceremony as an expression of community identity. The local government should be able to continue mobilizing the community to be actively involved in the preservation of Tuan Tewo's traditional ceremony. In addition, it is also hoped that the government will include all traditions carried out by local communities in an educational aspect.

Dowries often becomes an issue and may all up different perspectives  in various cultures.However, it is important to understand that a dowry should be a symbol of consent and not a tool to create tension or reinforce inequality. This research aims to determine the perspective of University of Muhammadiyah Maumere students regarding the role and value of dowry among Sikka Krowe ethnic group. This research focuses on how the students view the role and value of the dowry in maintaining the social traditions and the religious values . This research employs qualitative research design. To find out overall perceptions, interviews was conducted. The informants were students of University of Muhammadiyah Maumere. The results of this research claimed that students' perspective about the role and value of dowry vary. Most respondents considered dowry to have a significant role in shaping their identity and moral values. However, there are differences in the way they implement dowry values in everyday life. Some students emphasized the importance of maintaining dowry traditions and values in all aspects of life, while others felt that some dowry values were becoming less relevant. The suggestion from this research is that it is necessary to integrate the role and values of dowry into the higher education curriculum to strengthen its understanding and implementation and that higher education must pay special attention to training in interpersonal skills and professional ethics based on dowry values. It is important to prepare students not only in terms of technical knowledge and skills, but also in terms of attitudes and behavior that reflect dowry values in their interactions with society.
