Abstract

As a multicultural country, the opportunities for clashes and conflicts in Indonesia are wide open. This is due to the plurality and heterogeneity of Indonesian society which is reflected in the form of cultural, religious and lifestyle diversity in society which is quite complex. For example, although there are six major religions recognized by the government, namely Islam, Catholicism, Christianity, Buddhism, Hinduism and Confucianism, hundreds of traditional beliefs exist and thrive in society. In the history of West Kalimantan Province, there have been various horizontal conflicts one after another, among others in 1997, followed by the Madurese and Malay/Dayak conflicts in 1999 and so on. The number of fatalities and material losses is incalculable. As a tribe that has been living in West Kalimantan for generations, dynamic cultural developments also give color to their local wisdom. Local wisdom formed from the culture of each tribe becomes their cultural identity and develops and is passed down from one generation to the next. Each Dayak tribe has its own local wisdom which is referred to when a horizontal conflict will or has occurred. This qualitative research with the case study method describes the local wisdom found in the Dayak tribe when a conflict is about to happen or has occurred. The research was conducted using data collection techniques through in-depth interviews with various sources, including interviews with researchers from the Dayakology Institute, Malay ethnic leaders, Dayak ethnic leaders and academics. The research findings show that the local wisdom of the Dayak tribe can be seen through the Basabaik, Tanam Baik, Pamabakng, Lambang Mandoh Pakat, and Bepeta ceremonies.
