<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the Ambung as a customary law-based restorative justice model in resolving conflicts in the Dayak Dusun Malang community in North Barito Regency. The study uses an empirical legal method with a socio-legal approach through field observations and interviews, as well as supporting previous research and book references. The results of the study indicate that the Ambung does not only function as a dispute resolution mechanism, but also as a means of reconstructing non-biological social kinship relationships, such as the adoption of a father, and the adoption of a mother. Conflict resolution is carried out through deliberation, customary sanctions (jipen), customary rituals, and customary oaths (hasumpah) involving the damang, mantir, family, and community. This mechanism reflects restorative justice that is restorative-communal in nature because it emphasizes the restoration of social relations, strengthening solidarity, and preventing recurrent conflicts. Thus, the Ambung Lift has developed as a living law that integrates social, cultural, and spiritual values and becomes a participatory, humanistic, and sustainable conflict resolution model based on local wisdom.]]>
