Local Wisdom For Social Integration In Multiethnic Nagaris

This research departs from the policy of the West Sumatra government to return to the nagari government as outlined in West Sumatra Regional Regulation No. 9 of 2000 concerning the Government of Nagari, where nagari institutions are built based on Minangkabau traditional values, while half of the are from the community are Javanese ethnic. The research objectives are: 1) Describe the dynamics that occur in the process of institutionalizing the nagari back in the Sitiung village. (2) Analyzing the role of local wisdom creates social integration in the multi-ethnic nagari in Sitiung. The findings of this research show that the work of local institutions including local wisdom has created social integration in the community in religious life. Local wisdom that is still held firmly by the Minangkabau and Javanese ethnic communities is the glue for the creation of social integration in the community so that the institutionalization of nagari which is a new condition for ethnic Minang and ethnic Javanese has a positive dynamic. The value of the local community "tabang mancakam, inggok basitumpu" about the acceptance of outsiders in society is a cohesive value for the formation of the nagari. The value of patience and social adaptation about where the earth is stepped on, where the sky is upheld held by ethnic Javanese is also one of the adhesives of maintaining the value of diversity in a religious society.
