- Abstract
Rongkong, as one of the districts in North Luwu Regency, and the existence of its indigenous people in the past has been partially described in the study done by Albert Christian Kruyt (1920), a Dutch anthropologist. In 1954 when the DI/TII rebellion burst, Rongkong was unoccupied in almost all of its territory as many traditional and residents’ houses were burnt. About a year after Rongkong was considered safe, some of the people who migrated to save themselves returned to settle in their ancestral lands. It is interesting to study the identity and gender in the architecture of the Rongkong Indigenous Community after they return to settle down. The type of qualitative writing in this article uses literature review with content analysis and descriptive methods. Even though the Rongkong Indigenous Community was relocated temporarlily, it turns out that they are still protecting the remaining artifacts and preserving some of their ancestral cultural heritage. Thus, traces of identity and gender roles in the architecture of the Rongkong Traditional Community House are still visible in the dynamics of their lives.
