Abstract

This article aims to describe the origins of Nias peopleancestor based on anonymous stories (called hoho in Nias term)which were inter-generational inherited in Nias society. Generally,Nias people recognised three kinds of hoho that were always andcorrectly related to the creatures assumed as their ancestor: onombela, nadaoya, and lani ewöna. These anonymous stories have beenbecoming a buffer for the existence of Nias Culture which weremanifested on the custom ceremonies practice by Nias people untilnowadays such as mangani binu and stone jumping. In the otherhand, this article also tries to identify and describe the functionsof those rituals toward the daily life of Nias people. According tothe culture theory by van Peursen, this article proposes that therituals have three kinds functions for Nias society. First, it couldbe a means for human to deal with the supra-natural power.Second, it could be a current guarantee that humans’ effort in theirhistorical life will be a never ending process and repeatablesuccess. Third, it was related to the taboo that was existed in certaincommunity which is in fact, able to maintain the harmony ofhuman life.

Abstract

The Minangkabau custom did not allow Minangkabaunese for converting Islam into another religion. Minangkabau custom will apply particular sanction for them who disobey the dictum. This research aimed to know how the dynamic of social identity construction of disserted Minangkabau peoples was, what the motive behind the decision in leaving Islam was, and what cultural impacts were. This research employed in‐depth interview for collecting data, involving five (5) respondents. This research used phenomenology method in capturing and understanding the natural meaning in respondents living. The validity of data was achieved through intersubjective validity. The result of this research showed that disserted Minangkabaunese have experienced the discriminative actions from their community such as being isolated by their community thus they experienced the crises of identity. Their right of family treasure was also canceled by their family. These circumstance has become a trigger for constructing “the another Minangkabau identity” which was not solely decided by status as a Moslem. Eventhough their family and community have rejected them as a part of Minangkabau community, they remain assumed theirself as the Minangkabau people because they inherit Minangkabau blood.
