“…They believe that having an open heart, not interfering in other people's affairs, loving and caring for others, keeping feelings, and not demanding much are the keys to staying healthy. To be healthy, they maintain food patterns and do not overdo anything (Juhannis et al, 2021). As expressed by Ramella as a member of the Towani Tolotang community:…”

This study investigates how the Towani Tolotang people express their religious and social values through traditional and special rituals related to their economy. This qualitative research utilises a phenomenological approach through observations, interviews, and literature studies. The findings reveal that the rituals performed by the Towani Tolotang community, such as Molalaleng, Mappaenre Inanre, Sipulung, and Mattampung, aim to obtain protection, happiness, and economic strength. These rituals involve offerings to Dēwata SeuwaE and are crucial in maintaining unity, harmony, and economic stability within the community. Through these rituals, which involve the use of new clothes and other economic activities, a significant contribution to the local economy is evident. The cultural identity displayed by the Towani Tolotang community encompasses positive values such as mutual respect, simplicity, and self-worth, which strengthen the nation's character and promote social harmony. This study contributes to understanding the socio-economic impact of traditional rituals and highlights the role of cultural practices in promoting economic resilience and social cohesion.

“…Another example of how customary values influence their daily life is related to the health aspect. According to the Ammatoa community, diseases can develop due to health determinants (such as personal and environmental variables), mystical elements, and breaking customary rules [31]. This indicates that indigenous people tend to choose traditional medicine that has been trusted for centuries rather than medical facilities.…”

To What Extent Does Indigenous Local Knowledge Support the Social–Ecological System? A Case Study of the Ammatoa Community, Indonesia

Recognition of multiple knowledge systems is essential to facilitate collaboration and mutual learning between different actors, integration across social and ecological systems, and sustainable development goals. This study aims to identify how local knowledge from the indigenous people in developing countries contributes toward supporting the social–ecological system. We use a case study of the Ammatoa community, one of the indigenous communities in South Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. This study shows how their social and ecological practices are combined to develop their customary area and how the Ammatoa’s customary values contribute towards achieving Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) 15 and 12 of the United Nations, i.e., leveraging local resources for livelihood and ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Examples of practices elaborated in this paper are protecting, restoring, and promoting sustainable use of terrestrial ecosystems, sustainably managing forests, combating desertification, halting and reversing land degradation, halting biodiversity loss, and ensuring sustainable consumption and production patterns. Furthermore, the Ammatoa’s customary values form a sustainable system that not only affects their social aspects, but also their economy and surrounding environment. This research can be used to develop relevant environmental-related interventions related to SDGs 15 and 12 from indigenous peoples’ perspectives.

“…Every group or race holds to their respective religion, culture, and language besides drawing a distinction in work distribution according to different races in the economic field (Ahmad & Yusof, 2010). Indonesia, with its very large geographical area, has more than five hundred ethnic groups and has a very diverse local culture (Juhannis et al, 2021).…”

Student ethnicity is one of the internal factors that influence student learning. Bacteriology is a course that examines prokaryotic unicellular living things and is practiced in laboratories that need to implement projects. The aim of this research is to know the distribution of students based on their ethnicity. The research sample was students who programmed the bacteriology course in the Biology Education Study Program at Mulawarman University, in the even semester of the 2022/2023 academic year. The sampling technique is purposive sampling. The research instrument is a questionnaire. The data analysis technique is percentage. The results of the data analysis show that there are various student ethnicities. There are four ethnic groups that dominate other ethnic groups, namely: Javanese (25.5%), Bugis (18.8%), Kutai (16.4%), and Banjar (14.9%). Completion of projects in groups whose members are heterogeneous based on ethnicity allows the participation of every member of the group. The conclusion is that there are various student ethnicities who program bacteriology courses, namely those consisting of ethnic Javanese, Bugis, Kutai, Banjar, Berau, Toraja, Paser, Mandar, Batak, Palembang, and Dayak. It is necessary to add a larger sample size for similar research in order to obtain more information.
