Get PDFThe complexity of problems caused by mining activities in North Maluku can be analyzed through the perspective of political ecology from anthropology, especially ecological anthropology. Through this perspective, the article describes three main problems related to mining business activities in relation to the conditions of indigenous communities around the mines. First, about the environmental perception of indigenous communities towards nickel mining activities in Central Halmahera Regency. Second, regarding the power gap and social injustice due to nickel mining activities towards local communities in Central Halmahera. Third, regarding access to natural resources and the marginalization of local communities in the context of the utilization of natural mining resources. The presence of nickel mining companies in Central Halmahera Regency does not have a positive impact on the lives of indigenous people living around mining activities. Their natural environment is damaged (polluted) and the main sources of livelihood of indigenous people are lost from their control. They no longer have access to the natural resources that they previously controlled before the arrival of the nickel mining company
�TORANG MANGAEL SAMPE JAOH�: STRATEGI ADAPTASI EKOLOGI NELAYAN TOMALOU, KOTA TIDORE KEPULAUAN
No full textIn a phenomenological perspective, Tomalou fishermen that have wrestled
with fish capturing activities (mangael) for recent centuries have surely been able
to understand their own environment well. However, they did not have awareness
and knowledge on the function of coastal ecosystem and damage the coastal and
marine environment. For a more comprehensive picture of life among Tomalou
fishermen, the objectives of this study are (1) to describe the fishermen
community in Tomalou related to the conditions of coastal and marine
environment and its resource
Negotiating the Sacred and the Profane: The Kase Nae Tiang Alif Ritual of the Makeang People
Get PDFStudies on local Islam in Indonesia have predominantly focused on Java and other major islands, leaving limited attention to the dynamics of Islamic practice in Eastern Indonesia. This article deals with a religious ritual of Makeang community by examining the Kase Nae Tiang Alif ritual as an expression of syncretic religiosity. The ritual, which is part of a mosque construction procession, merges sacred elements—such as prayers led by a hakim syara (Islamic judge)—with profane performances like the ronggeng togal dance. This ethnographic study was conducted in Ngofabobawa Village, Malifut District, North Maluku Province, between 2016 and 2019, employing participant observation and in-depth interviews with 23 informants of diverse backgrounds. The research findings show that the Kase Nae Tiang Alif ritual reflects the community’s negotiation between Islamic values, local cosmology, and ecological relationships. It serves not only as a religious act, but it also as a mechanism for communal solidarity and cultural continuity. The sacralization of the Tiang Alif (sacred pillar) demonstrates that local religiosity is rooted in symbolic practices that merge the divine and the material worlds. It is argued in this article that the ritual represents a space of negotiation between sacred and profane domains in the formation of local Islamic identity. This negotiation occurs through community participation, sensory expressions, and symbolic performances.Artikel ini mengkaji ritual Kase Nae Tiang Alif pada komunitas Makeang di Maluku Utara sebagai ekspresi religiositas sinkretis. Ritual ini, yang merupakan bagian dari prosesi pembangunan masjid, memadukan unsur-unsur sakral—seperti doa yang dipimpin oleh seorang hakim syara—dengan ekspresi profan seperti tari ronggeng togal. Studi ini didasarkan pada kerja lapangan etnografi yang dilakukan di Desa Ngofabobawa, Kecamatan Malifut, Provinsi Maluku Utara, antara tahun 2016 hingga 2019, dengan menggunakan observasi partisipan, wawancara mendalam dengan 23 informan dari latar belakang yang beragam, serta dokumentasi pertunjukan ritual.
Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ritual Kase Nae Tiang Alif yang dipraktikkan oleh komunitas Makeang bukan sekadar representasi dari praktik keagamaan yang sakral, melainkan juga cerminan dari dinamika sosial, budaya, dan simbolik yang kompleks dalam Islam lokal di Maluku Utara. Dalam pelaksanaannya, ritual ini tidak hanya dipahami sebagai proses pembangunan masjid, tetapi juga sebagai sarana untuk memperkuat solidaritas komunal, menjaga hubungan ekologis dengan lingkungan sekitar, serta menegosiasikan posisi manusia dalam kosmologi spiritual mereka.
Tahapan ritual ini dimulai dari musyawarah bersama, pemilihan pohon, penebangan, pensakralan, hingga pendirian tiang sakral. Pada tahapan tersebut tampak jelas bagaimana komunitas membangun Tiang Alif sebagai poros sakral yang menghubungkan dunia manusia di bawah dengan ranah ilahi di atas. Proses pensakralan terhadap objek alam ini menunjukkan bahwa sistem kepercayaan masyarakat tidak semata-mata berakar pada doktrin agama formal, melainkan juga terbentuk melalui praktik simbolik yang tertanam dalam kehidupan sehari-hari. Artikel ini berargumen bahwa ritual tersebut tidak hanya berfungsi sebagai tindakan keagamaan, tetapi juga sebagai ruang negosiasi antara nilai-nilai Islam, tradisi lokal, dan warisan kolonial

Get PDFThis research examines the Loss of Agricultural Traditions: A Study of the Social Impact of Mining on Mine-Round Communities by appointing PT. IWIP as a case study. This appointment is based on the reason that PT. IWIP is the first integrated industrial estate management company in Indonesia. This research is a qualitative research conducted in Weda Tengah District, Central Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province. The purpose of this study is to explain the Loss of Agricultural Traditions: A Study of the Social Impact of Mining on Mine-Round Communities. The method used in this study is descriptive qualitative with an ethnographic approach. Data collection was carried out through document studies (literature review), observation (observation), and in-depth interviews. Research informants are people who live in the mining area which are determined by purposive sampling based on their knowledge and experience related to the research topic. The results of the study show that the presence of mining companies has a broad impact on people's lives. One of these impacts can be found in social and cultural aspects. Based on their nature, these impacts are positive and negative. If viewed from the perspective of social change, the various descriptions above show that the community in the mining area has experienced changes, whether consciously or not. This social change that occurred at the same time also penetrated the joints of the culture of society that was oriented towards agriculture
COVID-19 and the Local Tradition of the People of North Maluku
Get PDFDealing with pandemics has never been a new issue, seen from the perspective of the history of mankind. It was a manifestation of l’histoire se répète. As an example, a few centuries prior to the Black Death and Cholera Outbreak, Galvao wrote that a respiratory disease had broken out in Ternate around 1553, while De Clercq mentioned a deadly plague in Bacan throughout 1706-1709. Traditionally, these issues were treated as a result of badly conducted supernatural rituals. They opted for herbal treatments, and exorcism, and even migrated to the hinterland as an act of self-quarantine. Today, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic and reached the islands of North Maluku province, with Ternate as the epicentrum of the outbreak. However, there has been a resolution, which facilitates another traditionally crafted effort, such as Liliyan, Barifola, and Rera, based on the oral tradition mentioned in Dora Bololo. We seek to discover how far cultural aspect would affect the economic and social life of the locals, as well as in what domain tradition and local practice should contribute to the current situation. Thus, this research aims to understand and analyze such a combination of traditionally generated solutions within a current scientific framework, especially on how history, anthropology, as well as archival, and memory study could understand the living aspect of the locals and therefore apply Vansina’s (1985) approach in oral tradition as historical sources
