Abstract

Lancang Kocik Folk Songs (NRLK) originated among the Sakai Tribe, who live in Petani Village, Riau Province. Essentially, this song is an introduction to work and is utilized as a song of pride since it contains a natural identity, real historical proof as an indigenous Riau tribe, and is a reminder of sustainable ecology and culture. NRLK’s existence, however, is no longer sustained because natural conditions have switched to corporate ownership. Automatically, changes in nature mean that the culture of the Sakai tribe, which is reflected in the NRLK, also transforms. Seeing this tendency, this study was designed to discover the transformation of NRLK from fishermen’s songs to a symbol in the form of a “small canoe” design to investigate the possibilities of creative industries. As part of the attempt to conserve culture, NRLK is expected to have cultural tourism potential as a result of this transformation. The research method employed was qualitative, using a semiotic and creative industry perspective. Data was gathered in phases, including observation, recording, literature review, interviews, and documentation. The findings of this study are as follows: (1) Through analysis of symbols that are a form of NRLK transformation, it can revive the creative economy, particularly the cultural tourism sector; (2) Furthermore, through analysis of the NRLK symbol, it can be used as a typical Sakai tribe batik motif; and (3) Production of batik with the “Lancang Kocik” motif can be used as a souvenir or souvenir typical of the Sakai tribe when on a cultural tour to Petani Village.
