Abstract

Marori is one of the tribes in the South Papua region. Based on initial findings, the Marori language is now endangered as there are only 29 native speakers left. There are still a lot of issues in the study of indigenous people from the perspective of the indigenous knowledge system regarding education and environment. This research uses a qualitative approach. Primary data was obtained through observation, focus group discussion, and in depth interviews in the Marori tribe living in Wasur Village, Merauke, South Papua while secondary data was obtained through literature study. Data analysis in this research uses interpretation dan semiotics interpretation. This research will attempt to answer the question what is the position of the indigenous knowledge system in Papua?, secondly, how this knowledge system can be used to strengthen indigenous education and thirdly, what kind of system thinking of Marori tribes in responding critical issues around them. The aims of this research is to learn the concepts and systems of indigenous knowledge in Papua, specifically the Marori tribe, and to find out how the indigenous knowledge system can contribute to strengthening indigenous education. The result of this study shows that the indigenous knowledge system in Papua is autonomous in thinking. It is based on the way of life and cultural environment in Papua. In addition, system thinking of Marori is formed from the environmental and cultural condition they have.
