Abstract

The folk song Tale Ngasoh Anuak is part of the oral tradition used as a lullaby in the Kerinci ethnic community, particularly in Dusun Empih, Sumur Anyir Village, Sungai Penuh City, Jambi Province. This song has been passed down orally through generations as part of the traditional child-rearing system. Beyond its aesthetic value, it holds significant social functions in the lives of the Kerinci people. This study aims to describe the physical structure of the Tale Ngasoh Anuak folk song and uncover its social functions within the Kerinci community, especially in the context of child-rearing and cultural identity preservation. This research employed a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation to analyze the song's physical structure and social functions. The study found that Tale Ngasoh Anuak possesses characteristics of traditional poetry, consisting of lines, stanzas, diction, sound, themes, tone, and messages. The sound elements include rhyme, alliteration, assonance, euphony, cacophony, and sound repetition, which create a soothing atmosphere. Thematically, the song reflects parental affection, socio-economic realities, hopes for children's future, and the development of character and social ethics. In addition to its aesthetic value, the song serves as entertainment, family communication, character education, and a medium for transmitting oral traditions that strengthen the cultural identity of the Kerinci community.

Abstract

This study examines the symbolic meanings and traditional knowledge system embedded in the Asyeik Ritual among the Kerinci people of Indonesia. The Asyeik Ritual is a cultural heritage tradition that originated in the pre-Islamic period and has undergone a process of acculturation with Islamic teachings. To this day, the ritual continues to be practiced in various contexts, including healing ceremonies, the fulfillment of vows, the removal of misfortune, and the purification of ancestral heirlooms. This research employed an ethnographic approach conducted between 2024 and 2026 through participant observation and in-depth interviews with gurui, salih, customary leaders, and community members in the Kerinci region. The findings reveal that the Asyeik Ritual functions not only as a traditional healing practice but also as a repository of local knowledge governing the relationship between humans, nature, ancestors, and the spiritual realm. The symbols, chants, ritual objects, and ceremonial actions involved in the ritual reflect the cosmological worldview of the Kerinci people and serve as a medium for the intergenerational transmission of cultural knowledge. In addition to strengthening social solidarity and cultural identity, the ritual contributes to the preservation of local values amid ongoing social change. As an element of Indonesia’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, the continuity of the Asyeik Ritual faces challenges from modernization, the declining number of ritual practitioners, and the limited availability of supporting resources. Therefore, community-based preservation and revitalization efforts are essential to ensure its sustainability.

Abstract

Rituals are not merely religious practices but also cultural mechanisms through which Indigenous communities construct, transmit, and preserve ecological knowledge. Among the Kerinci people of Sumatra, Indonesia, the Asyeikritual has long been recognized as an important cultural tradition; however, its role as a Traditional Ecological Knowledge (TEK) system has received limited scholarly attention. This study aims to examine how the Asyeik ritual represents ecological knowledge, facilitates its intergenerational transmission, and contributes to environmental conservation and disaster mitigation. Employing an ethnographic approach, data were collected through participant observation and in-depth interviews with ritual specialists (guriu or salih balian) across several customary communities in Kerinci between 2024 and 2026. The findings demonstrate that ritual materials—including diverse plant species, animals, water, and other natural elements—are selected based on ecological characteristics rather than solely ritual requirements. These species function as ecological indicators reflecting the health of forests, rivers, wetlands, springs, and other environmental landscapes while simultaneously embodying symbolic meanings that regulate human-environment relationships. Furthermore, myths and ritual symbols surrounding sacred ecological spaces operate as cultural institutions that discourage environmental exploitation and reinforce collective responsibilities toward ecosystem conservation. Consequently, the Asyeik ritual serves not only as a spiritual practice but also as a mechanism for transmitting ecological knowledge, strengthening community resilience, and sustaining socio-ecological balance. This study contributes to anthropological discussions by demonstrating that ritual functions as an institution for preserving Traditional Ecological Knowledge, thereby extending interpretive approaches to ritual toward broader debates on human-environment relations, Indigenous knowledge, and biocultural conservation.
