<![CDATA[Jaton or Jawa Tondano Village is in Tondano City, North Sulawesi. The place has a historical value since this village is a banishment place in 1829 of Kyai Modjo who is one of the warlords and also the religious advisor of Prince Diponegoro. Prince Diponegoro was a leader of the Jawa War that lasted from 1825 to 1830. The Java War was one of the deadliest wars on both the Dutch and the Javanese fighters. Over time the village grew into a Moslem village in the middle of Christian communication in Minahasa. The Jaton community lives side by side in harmony as minority group among Minahasa ethnic majority. The interaction between the two groups creates a unique way of acculturating cultures. This study aims to determine the acculturation process which occurs between the two groups, namely among ethnic Minahasa as a majority who embraced Christianity with Jaton community from Java as a minority and embraced Islamic religion. This study uses a qualitative method with case study approach. The result of the study indicates that all elements of the process of cultural acculturation are fulfilled and ultimately lead to a condition of harmony between the two groups. Harmonious conditions can occur not only because of the acculturation between the two groups but also because of the role of communication in it. The interactions that exist between the two groups arise from the communication and contact between the two groups, starting from the arrival of Kyai Modjo to the land of Minahasa in 1829 which has created the interaction between both groups of migrants and natives are positive and cooperative.]]>
