Abstract

The discourse on traditional leadership can be seen in the second decade post-reform in Indonesia, with the strengthening of regional autonomy the dominance of traditional power is even more powerful and widespread. The cultural capital used by traditional leadership is substantial. The Kerinci community, for example, does not only function as far as maintaining and caring for ancestral traditions, but can further influence the direction of government policy in presenting people's welfare. Democratic mechanisms that provide equal rights for all citizens to aspire to become a means to legitimize the dominance of traditional power. Therefore, this article places traditional leadership as a variable that greatly determines the implementation of non-formal and formal government institutions. Indigenous peoples are decisive in initiating local government policies. They are involved in regional development planning, then develop policy issues within local communities, and can even make changes to policies in the formal government itself. So that the models and concepts in the local elite leadership are very much needed to look deeper into this study. This study uses a qualitative approach with techniques for collecting field observation data and interviews with indigenous communities and traditional leaders in Kerinci
