Cultural values, state symbols, and the nation's long history shape Indonesia's national identity, which fosters unity amidst cultural, linguistic, and ethnic diversity. However, globalization and technological advances endanger national identity, especially for the younger generation. The literature analysis process is used in this study to evaluate the dynamics, challenges, and efforts to strengthen national identity. The results of the study indicate that elements such as cultural diversity, Indonesian language, and Pancasila are the main pillars of national identity. The influence of foreign cultures and political decentralization are major problems. The active role of society, multicultural education, and the use of digital technology for cultural preservation are strengthening strategies. These methods are very important to maintain the integrity and nature of the Indonesian nation in the contemporary era.
