Abstract

The purpose of this research is to identify and describe the cultural practice of conceptualisation of Sumba people in interpreting Nukku Zara in the ritual speech of Pangadi Nga'a Pabenudi We'e Marapu. The research method used is qualitative research with an ethnographic approach. The collection techniques were observation, interview, and document study. Data analysis begins with data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results show that the Sumbanese conceptualisation of the existence of Marapu and Nuku Zara is always placed in the realm of the existence of the divine creating the universe and the life of all creatures. The role of Nuku Zara in the Social and Religious Structure plays a central role as a divine entity that is the main purpose of all forms of respect and rituals. The symbolism in the Pangadi Nga'a Pabenudi We'e Marapu Ritual is Betel nut and areca nut in Sumba culture symbolise the unity of communication between humans and ancestral spirits and the Gods, in addition, rice and water symbolise life and fertility. The shift in meaning in the contemporary context due to the pressure of advancing modernisation causes most of the local wisdom with noble values in it to be increasingly degraded and eroded in meaning and the lack of awareness of the younger generation to maintain and preserve local wisdom.

Abstract

This study was motivated by an awareness of the meaning and value of local wisdom contained in the Marapu Wano ritual speech, as the true essence of culture is beginning to fade and the younger generation has little knowledge of how to preserve their cultural roots amid technological developments. The purpose of this study is to identify and describe the cultural practices and meanings of Marapu Wano ritual speech in the context of the culture that underlies it. The research method used was descriptive qualitative research. The results of the study show that the Marapu Wano ritual speech contains ecological meanings that reflect the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, religious meanings that affirm the belief system in ancestral spirits and the Creator, social meanings that strengthen solidarity and social order in the community, and meanings of supplication expressed through ritual prayers as a means of conveying hopes for safety, fertility, and prosperity in life. Thus, the Marapu Wano ritual speech can be understood as a cultural value system that plays an important role in maintaining the ecological, spiritual, and social balance of the Tana Righu community in West Sumba.
