This study aims to examine the preservation of dekke naniura as a traditional cultural expression of the local indigenous community. A qualitative research method with a normative-empirical (applied) legal approach was employed. The study utilizes both primary and secondary data, collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. Data analysis follows a qualitative process consisting of data reduction, data presentation, and verification or conclusion drawing. The findings indicate that dekke naniura is still maintained by the community in Sibadihon Village through intergenerational transmission within families, its inclusion in traditional and family events, and the active involvement of traditional leaders, the younger generation, and village authorities.
