Abstract

Myths, rituals and life stories are interconnected and conveyed through long-standing oral traditions, making them important cultural assets of indigenous peoples around the world. In the Mentawai Islands, myths and rituals are inseparable from the daily lives of the people. The myths are not only communicated within the community but also revealed to outsiders. This research deviates from earlier literature as it aims to explore the relationship between traditional rituals, life stories, myths and modern dynamics in the different valleys to trace the ancestral claims of land ownership. The study employed a qualitative approach. Data was collected through observation and in-depth interviews with Sikerei (shaman), clan elders and notable clan individuals in the thinly populated watersheds in south Siberut Island, complemented by a literature review. The findings show that various rituals and myths about the life journey of the Mentawai people are important to current values. Extended with a unique culture of body tattoos, botanical knowledge, sago staple food consumption combined with animal protein feasts. It can be concluded that myths have a relationship with their living practices they lived, the formation and strengthening of their cultural identities, belief systems and clan land claims in Mentawai. It suggests their indigenous knowledge can opens up a power to see what is not evident to the average mind and contributes to different shades of feeling and experiences.

Abstract

AbstractPembuatan kertas seni menggunakan kertas bekas, amaps kulit tebu, dan kulit buah naga merupakan salah satu bentuk pemanfaatan limbah organik untuk menghasilkan benda bernilai seni dan bernilai jual. Berdasarkan kandungannya, ampas tebu yang kaya kandungan selulosa dapat menjadi bahan utama selain kertas bekas dalam pembuatan kertas seni. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode Practice based research melalui percobaan langsung dengan mengikuti empat tahapan penciptaan karya yaitu tahapan eksplorasi, perencanaan, perwujudan dan evaluasi. Berdasarkan metode praktikum secara fisika ini didapatkan hasil bahwa kertas yang dihasilkan memiliki tekstur lebih kasar dan bercorak serta kulit buah naga tidak dapat memberikan pengaruh terhadap warna kertas. Pada pembuatan kertas seni , dibutuhkan analisa terhadap beberapa aspek seperti aspek teknik pembuatan, bahan, estetis, dan fungsi.
