Abstract

The reestablished relationship between Minangkabau and Negeri Sembilan since 1968 has given rise to two distinct perspectives in the cultural discussion, that are: Negeri Sembilan as a component of Minangkabau culture, and Negeri Sembilan as a distinctive cultural entity within the Malay world. This study aims to uncover the perceptions formed in the scholarly discourse on the Minangkabau-Negeri Sembilan relationship from a historical perspective and to elucidate the factors contributing to these perceptions. The research was conducted using a semi-systematic review model, employing a historical perspective and methodology. The data collected consist of scholarly books and academic articles that examine the relationship between Minangkabau and Negeri Sembilan. Findings reveal three major thematic topics. In the realm of tradition, Adat Perpatih is compared with Minangkabau Tradition. Regarding architecture, numerous studies have been undertaken to reveal the influences on Negeri Sembilan Traditional Houses, including comparisons with Rumah Gonjong, or the resulting evolution that incorporates local values. In terms of language, the Negeri Sembilan language is regarded either as a dialect of Minangkabau or of Malay, with each position having its own supporting arguments. This article can serve as a foundational step for advancing the history of Minangkabau-Negeri Sembilan relations.

Abstract

The regional autonomy of Reformasi has given rise to regional identity issues, including restorations of historical sultanates. This paper aims to explain the use of Siak Sultanate legacy, from identity of Siak Regency to claims of new sultan of Siak. This research was conducted based on historical methods through literature exploration and interview. We found that the regency goverment of Siak has successfully utilize some of the sultanate legacy for identity and tourism, while the situation is more complex for the ‘Sultan’ of Siak. Kekerabatan Resam as ‘official representative’ of Siak sultanate has no declared restoration, while claims to a new sultan have emerged. The controversy centres on the ambiguity of lineage, power of Kekerabatan Resam, knowledge of traditions, and certain motives driving the restoration.
