A set of clothes known as rimpu makes use of two sarongs. After civilization emerged and Islam extended over Bima, there was a significant inflow of Rimpu people living there. One of the cultural systems in the West Nusa Tenggara region is the Rimpu culture. Local and national cultural leaders, religious authorities, and government representatives must actively maintain the Rimpu culture within the Bima community.","PeriodicalId":511562,"journal":{"name":"Enigma in Cultural","volume":" 6","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139622929","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The research uses descriptive - qualitative theory where primary data is intended as a reference that is tested, condensed and then classified. The research results show that of the 31 functions of narrative structure, the Nai Manggale folklore has nine functions, namely: The connective incident (B), First function of donor (D), Provision or receipt of magical agent (F), Recognition (Q) Exposure (Ex), Struggle (H), The initial misfortune or lack is liquid (K), Wedding (W), and Solution (S) Descriptive explanations were analyzed using Propp's scheme theory. The results of character studies in the Nai Manggale folklore were found to be as follows: Donor, Dispatcher and Princess. The conclusion of the research explains that the Nai Manggale folklore focuses on the main role of \"Nai Manggale\" which became the forerunner of the culture of deliberation and dancing in the Tapanuli area, North Sumatera.","PeriodicalId":511562,"journal":{"name":"Enigma in Cultural","volume":"23 21","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-01-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"139388867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Each of these ethnic groups possesses distinct practices and beliefs. The Batak tribe has diverse ethnic subgroups, including Toba Batak, Karo, Mandailing, and others. Within Batak culture, there exist shamanistic rituals, and individuals who perform these rituals are referred to as \"datu\" or \"Batak shamans.\" The shaman has a crucial function in upholding social and spiritual equilibrium within society. They possess the ability to retaliate against dark sorcery or provide healing for ailments through their expertise and spiritual wisdom. The Minangkabau tribe upholds robust traditional customs, which encompass shamanic rituals associated with the veneration of ancestors and nature deities. Within Minangkabau society, there exist individuals known as \"bundo kanduang\" who possess specialized expertise in countering the effects of black magic and healing ailments by traditional means. The Bukit Barisan tribe is an indigenous population dispersed over the Bukit Barisan region, encompassing a significant portion of Sumatra Island. Their religious system encompasses shamanic ideologies and rituals that revolve around the veneration of nature spirits and ancestral figures. Shamans, or spiritual leaders, play a crucial role in upholding social and spiritual equilibrium within their communities. It is crucial to bear in mind that these shamanic rituals exhibit variations among different ethnic groups and subgroups in Sumatra. Moreover, the impact of religions like Islam and Christianity has also had an influence on certain shamanic activities within these communities. Shamanic practices encompass a range of functions, including customary rituals and endeavors to address societal and metaphysical discord. Gaining insight into this cultural legacy and shamanistic customs enables us to value the cultural variety in Indonesia and the ongoing evolution and adjustment of various cultures in response to changing circumstances.","PeriodicalId":511562,"journal":{"name":"Enigma in Cultural","volume":"1 1","pages":"13-17"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-11-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://enigma.or.id/index.php/cultural/article/download/19/19","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147914038","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
