Abstract

The Dayak tribe possesses a traditional house known as the Radakng house, which cultivates an attitude of tolerance in their daily lives. The culture of tolerance upheld by the Dayak community can serve as an example for other communities in Indonesia, fostering interethnic and interreligious harmony amidst frequent conflicts. This study aims to determine: 1) the values embedded in the Radakng traditional house; 2) strategies for reinforcing the culture of tolerance among the Kanayant Dayak tribe through the Radakng traditional house; and 3) the implications of strengthening the culture of tolerance for interreligious harmony. This research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method and was conducted in West Kalimantan from April to June 2023. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, documentation, and interactive data analysis. The values found within the Radakng traditional house include tolerance, mutual cooperation, justice, and harmony. The strategies for reinforcing tolerance through the Radakng traditional house involve fostering a habit of respecting and honouring differences, thus not considering it a problem when parents and children belong to different religions. This habit is consistently taught to children and grandchildren, resulting in rare instances of conflicts among neighbours in the traditional house. The reinforcement of tolerance through the Radakng traditional house has implications for interreligious coexistence in West Kalimantan, cultivating harmonious living among diverse communities in terms of religion and ethnicity. In recent years, no conflicts have been observed among ethnic groups, between religions, or even within the same religious groups. The reinforcement of tolerance among the Kanayant Dayak tribe through the Radakng traditional house extends its influence beyond the Dayak community, contributing to harmony in West Kalimantan.
