Abstract

Religious moderation has not had a special place in the hearts of Indonesian people since the government promulgated it. Many religious issues or conflicts are shown or occur in the homeland. Thus, a movement is needed to campaign intensely for religious moderation through the local wisdom embodied by local communities like the Gemohing tradition in the Lamaholot tribe. The study aimed to identify the tradition of Lamaholot as a local wisdom that can strengthen religious moderation in the village of Watanhura-Flores East. The method used in this study is ethnography with a qualitative approach, which was carried out in October-November 2023. This research data is known from observations and interviews with 12 sources from the village of Watanhura. The results that will be expected in this study are that the Gemohing Lamaholot tradition that is lived by the community of the East Watanhira-Flores can be a reference for uniting or strengthening religious moderation in the East in particular and in Indonesia in general. For that, the heirs of the cultural values of Lamaholot, in particular in the village of Watanhura, can make or preserve this local culture as local wisdom in building and strengthening religious moderation in living together amidst tribal, cultural, racial, and religious differences.

Abstract

The Lamaholot local wisdom encapsulated in the phrase /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/ transcends mere kinship expressions. This phrase serves as a guiding principle for the Lamaholot community in East Flores Regency, particularly in fostering the values of religious moderation. This research aims to investigate how this Lamaholot expression aids in internalizing religious moderation values in Pepakgeka Village. The study employs a descriptive field research methodology with an ethnographic approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews, and documentation. Analysis was conducted using Huberman and Miles' framework, which includes phases of data collection, data condensation, and conclusion drawing. The research was carried out from August to October 2024. The results indicate that the local wisdom /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/ is effective in promoting the values of religious moderation. The essence of local wisdom is communicated through advice shared in speech (koda kirin) and through actions (nulun walen), enabling the Lamaholot people to aspire to be virtuous individuals (melan senaren). The foundation of religious moderation within the Lamaholot community is deeply embedded in local wisdom, including the expression /koda kirin nulun walen melan senaren/, which has been upheld since ancient times and is reflected in their everyday speech and behavior.
