Abstract

Pembangunan masyarakat adat sering kali menggunakan pendekatan modernisasi yang berbasis top-down. Demikian juga upaya yang dilakukan Pemerintah Indonesia dalam membangun masyarakat adat Mentawai. Melalui Rapat Tiga Agama, Pemerintah memaksa masyarakat adat Mentawai meninggalkan agama leluhur mereka (Arat Sabulungan) dan memilih salah satu agama orang luar (Islam, Kristen). Pembangunan masyarakat adat dengan mengusung ideologi modernisme selalu berhadapan dengan resistensi dalam berbagai bentuknya. Karena itu, penting dilakukan studi bagaimana masyarakat adat Mentawai yang tetap menganut Arat Sabulungan melakukan resistensi terhadap ideologi modernisme yang diusung Pemerintah dalam pembangunan. Data yang bersumber dari novel Burung Kayu karya Niduparas Elang ini, dianalisis menggunakan metode studi wacana kritis model Teun A. Van Dijk yang bertujuan menganalisis bagaimana teks novel Burung Kayu merepresentasikan resistensi Arat Sabulungan terhadap ideologi modernisme. Artikel ini menunjukkan resistensi masyarakat adat Mentawai terhadap ideologi modernisme dilakukan dengan resistensi sehari-hari dalam bentuk perseteruan antar uma, perseteruan uma dengan Pemerintah, perseteruan Pemerintah dengan sikerei, dan perseteruan uma dengan orang sasareu. Perseteruan-perseteruan yang terjadi menunjukkan tidak kompatibel pendekatan modernisasi berbasis top-down dalam pembangunan masyarakat adat Mentawai.

Abstract

This research aims to explore how the belief systems of indigenous peoples influence everyday conservation practices and examine how these beliefs can be integrated into modern conservation policies. This study employed an ethnographic qualitative approach. Data collection involved participatory observation, enabling involvement in daily life to directly observe community interactions with the environment and the performance of religious rituals. In-depth interviews were administered semistructured interviews with various key informants, including traditional leaders, religious figures, community elders, and environmental practitioners. Secondary sources from academic publications, government reports, and media archives relevant to the research topic. Interpretative analysis was conducted within cultural and historical contexts to gain a deeper understanding of how religiosity shapes the environmental conservation practices of the Mentawai people. This study presents three key findings related to the environmental conservation practices of the Mentawai community. Their conservation practices are deeply rooted in a belief system. Transformative dynamic is observed, whereby the younger generation successfully combines traditional values of ancestral religion with teachings from world religions and modern perspectives. A gap is identified between the local wisdom-based conservation system and the pressures exerted by the global political economy. The study provides new insights into the crucial role of local religiosity in environmental conservation and highlights the potential for integrating traditional and modern beliefs in nature conservation efforts. The study suggests that environmental conservation strategies should integrate local communities' religious values and indigenous knowledge rather than relying solely on scientific and technological approaches.
