Abstract

The local wisdom is born either in cultural traditions or oral traditions and mainly the local wisdom cannot be separated from the form of the culture, including: ideas, activities and artifacts. Based on this background, this study aims to describe the form of culture contained in the oral tradition of speech at one tribe in the traditional ceremony best known as Bakawua in the District Lubuk Tarok, Sijunjung Regency, West Sumatra Province, Indonesia. This Bakawua traditional ceremony is a power and effort of the local community in obtaining agricultural field fertility, especially rice farming carried out by the Minangkabau people every year. The method used in this study is a descriptive qualitative approach with content analysis in expressing the form of local wisdom or the form of a culture. Data collection is conducted by documentation, interview, translation and observation techniques. The findings in this study can be described in the form of culture which consists of ideas and norms, activities, and artifacts in the tradition of Bakawua ceremonies in the district Lubuk Tarok, Sijunjung District, West Sumatra Province.
