<![CDATA[This study attempts to evaluate the process and forms of cultural acculturation in marriages between the Bugis and Dayak tribes in Lampuyang Village, Teluk Sampit District, East Kotawaringin Regency. The focus of the research is targeted at how these two cultural traditions interact and adapt in marriage rituals within a multiethnic community. This study combines a qualitative approach employing ethnographic methodologies reinforced with a historical viewpoint to trace the background of the meeting of Bugis and Dayak civilizations in the region. Data were obtained from field observations, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, village officials, bridal couples, and documentation studie. The results show that Bugis and Dayak marriages in Lampuyang Village are the result of a selective and dialogical acculturation process. Traditional elements from both tribes are maintained but are adjusted through family agreements and the influence of dominant Islamic religious values. This acculturation does not lead to the elimination of cultural identity, but rather forms a contextual and adaptive pattern of integration. Thus, interethnic marriages in Lampuyang Village can be understood as a space for cultural negotiation as well as a means of social integration in a multiethnic society.
