Abstract

Alcohol in the traditional form, such as popa, is not just an intoxicating drink. It is an integral part of the socio-cultural life of indigenous communities in Indonesia. Behind seemingly simple activities such as drinking popa lie cultural and social values that have been passed down from generation to generation. Through a qualitative approach and anthropological perspective, this study aims to provide a more open and comprehensive description and understanding of the role of popa in community life, how it is interpreted in a ritual context, and how this practice reflects the cultural dynamics, identity, and social structure of the local Dayak Siang community. The data in this study was obtained through participant observation, in-depth interviews, and literature review. The results of this study show that, specifically, popa is categorized into four symbols that cover the overall function and meaning of popa in the life of the Dayak Siang tribe. First, popa as a spiritual symbol, namely a connection between humans and ancestral spirits; second, popa as a social symbol, which strengthens community solidarity; third, popa as a cultural symbol, which preserves local identity and knowledge; and fourth, popa as a symbol of transition, which marks spiritual and social changes in the life cycle of the Dayak Siang community. On the other hand, the cultural transformation of popa drinking among the Dayak Siang tribe reflects the dynamics of cultural adaptation to social, economic, and ideological influences that have developed over time.

Abstract

The production of popa among the Dayak Siang is an important space for women to preserve and transmit their culture through their knowledge of traditional alcohol production. Using a qualitative approach and anthropological perspective, this study aims to examine in depth the role of Dayak Siang women in the practice of popa production and their contribution to the preservation of local culture. The data in this study were obtained through participant observation and in-depth interviews, which were then analysed using Spradley's data analysis model. This study shows that Dayak Siang women not only play a role as domestic workers but also as innovators of tradition, preserving recipes passed down from generation to generation in the tradition of popa making. Through the kitchen as a multifunctional production space, women integrate household responsibilities, cultural values, and economic activities simultaneously. Knowledge about popa making is passed down across generations through two primary mechanisms: lineage-based transfer and learning-based transfer. This practice faces the challenges of modernity, which encourages a shift in production values from spiritual aspects to market orientation, potentially eroding the cultural values of popa. Nevertheless, Dayak Siang women demonstrate cultural resilience through the quality of popa, distribution restrictions, and spiritual ethics in the production of popa.
