RELIGIOUS IDENTITY TRANSFORMATION: Cultural Interbreeding Between Dayak Indigenous Culture and Islam
JOURNAL OF INDONESIAN ISLAM, 2021
The arrival of imported religions, Islam and Chistianity in particular, in West Kalimantan creates cultural dialectic and transformation within local indigenous Dayak"s culture and belief. This article tries to explore on cultural interbreeding between Dayak indigenous culture and Islam in West Kalimantan, Indonesia. The findings have revealed that the interaction between local Dayak culture with variant of Islam creates new cultural identity such as Senganan Dayak in Semabi. This new identity is the consequence for those who convert to Islam as they do not abandon the Dayak identity. However, the massive conversion of Dayak to Islam does not necessarily imply the downgrading of identity from Dayak to Malay; instead they still remain to be Dayak in spite of their conversion to new religion. Another transformation occurred within tradition such as the ritual of "ngantar buah pulang (bring fruit home)". This Dayak indigenous ritual is replaced with Islamic kind of thanksgiving ritual and replaces the spelling of magic spell with supplication to God Almighty.

The purposes of this paper include (1) Knowing the relationship between understanding and practicing religious teachings with social behaviour, (2) Knowing patterns of social integration; and (3) Knowing the dominant factors that support the process of social integration. This study uses a qualitative approach with problem analysis using a sociologic phenomenological approach orientation. The results of the study show that the relationship between understanding and practicing religion and the social behavior of the MATFA Village community is more likely to lead to an adhesive relationship with fellow community members who are members of the MATFA Village community. Polarization of understanding and practice of religious teachings does not have a significant influence in creating conflict. The pattern of social integration of the MATFA Village community is formed through: (1) Kinship relations, which in this case are formed through cross-marriage and mutual cooperation. (2) Participation and acculturation, and (3) Integration on the basis of general agreements; namely integration based on mutual agreement. Dominant factors that support the creation of social integration include: (1) Local wisdom, namely a sense of mutual trust between fellow communities and instilling a deep sense of affection as an embodiment of the sentence: "Bismillahirrahmanirrahim" (2) Balance in the economic system, where all the people of Kampung MATFA do not have personal wealth, but all needs are a shared responsibility. (3) Awareness of Functional Roles, this is shown from the shared awareness of the whole community.

This study aims to identify patterns of social interaction among the inter-religious communities in Jayawijaya, Papua, through the tradition of Bakar Batu. This study employs a qualitative approach by interpreting data from observation and interviews. Associative and dissociative social interaction patterns are also used as analytical theories.

Al-Ulum, 2020
This study discussed the harmonious life of the Baduy people, a group of indigenous group who still maintain and preserve Pikukuh or traditional taboos that guide activities based on Sundanese Wiwitan teachings. Meanwhile, Nahdhatul Ulama is a religious and cultural identity embraced by most Muslims in the archipelago by preserving traditionalism. Baduy and Nahdlatul Ulama, society and group teachings, uphold the harmonious balance between humans and their gods in the context of life that preserves culture and upholds religion. Baduy preserves local traditions that are not only a reference for the behavior of community groups. However, it is also a source of inspiration for each community to live a compact, albeit different, life. Meanwhile, Nahdhatul Ulama's works are influenced by the social environment in which Islam can be accepted and developed. Finally, culture and religion continue to exist in harmony because they are mutually supportive parts.

Heritage of Nusantara: International Journal of Religious Literature and Heritage
The aim of this study is to examine the practice of Petang Megang tradition on indigenous Muslim Malay people in Pekanbaru Riau in welcoming the holy month of Ramadhan, and to investigate the influence of Hinduism on this annual tradition. Petang Megang ritual does not only function as a passed-on tradition, but also reflects the acculturation of Hindu and Islam, social interaction, and community culture. This research is a descriptive study, in which data obtained are presented, analyzed, and explained. This study found that Petang Megang tradition reflects a strong relationship between the two beliefs, Hindu and Islam. The relationship can be seen in the similar concepts of purification in Petang Megang which is similar to tirtayatra in Hindu and wudhu (ablution) in Islam. Despite bringing similarity to Hindu tradition, Petang Megang serves as a medium of Islamic dawah (propagation) where it introduces a cultural practice in its relation to religious event (Ramadan). This study su...
Construction of Hindu Identity: A Study in Palangka Raya City- Indonesia
Zenodo (CERN European Organization for Nuclear Research), 2023
This article aims to analyze the construction of Hindu identity in Palangka Raya City. The identity of Hindu adherents has different ethnic backgrounds, including ethnic Dayak, Balinese and Javanese. In the process, the symbols of the cultural identity of the three ethnic groups are maintained and at the same time become a reference in the practice of Hinduism. This difference has the potential to trigger disintegration, polarization and even internal conflict among Hindus. The chosen research method is qualitative with a cultural studies approach emphasizing ethnographic aspects. Determination of informants was done purposively, while collecting data through observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentation. Data analysis refers to Milles and Huberman with integrative paths and critical analysis techniques. The results of the analysis reveal that there have been efforts to hybridize culture by the elite by accommodating, integrating and blending symbols of Dayak, Balinese and Javanese ethnic identity in Hindu social and religious activities. It is hoped that further cultural hybridization can become a source of information as well as being used as an evaluation system by Hindu elites and adherents of different ethnicities.
