Migration and Adaptation of the Loksado Dayak Tribe (Historical Study of Dayak Loksado Community in Pelantingan Village)

Abstract

Migration that occurs in the Loksado Dayak community is a process of gradual migration that has occurred for more than a decade. The Loksado Dayak tribe lives by relying on forest products, the main forest products of which the Dayak people sell are rice, cinnamon, rubber, and candlenut. Historically, based on investigations of historians, it is explained that the relationship between the Dayak Loksado people in the mountainous area and the people located in the capital area, in this case the City of Kandangan, occurs because of economic interests. The desire to make ends meet has driven the Dayak Loksado people to travel to the center of civilization to sell the various agricultural products they get. The place where the Loksado Dayak tribe will stop by if they want to go to Kandangan is in Pelantingan Village. The adaptation process that occurs shows diffusion, acculturation and dialectic patterns. The diffusion pattern is indicated by the presence of cultural elements that are completely brought by the immigrants, in this case the Loksado Dayak people along with their migration to Pelantingan Village. The acculturation pattern is shown by the combination of two cultural elements, including in the aspects of the language used by the Dayak people in Pelantingan Village. While the dialectical pattern can be seen from how the process of religious conversion of the Loksado Dayak people in Pelantingan Village.
