Abstract

Nusantara’s rich and glorious civilization, especially at its peak, provides valuable records to discover the right paradigm of Indonesia as a maritime nation. The Orang Laut, also known as the Sea Tribe or Sea Nomads, is the ancient Malay people (Proto-Malay) who inhabited Nusantara waters thousands of years ago and sailed to all corners of the world. Today, the Sea Tribe experiences cultural violence caused by structural or infrastructural violence due to the land resettlement policy, which was established by the New Order government and continues until today. The transformation of settlement to the uncertainty of identity the Orang Laut experienced is further explored by utilizing Heidegger’s dwelling framework. This research was conducted through field observations and interviews with residents in Kampung Baru Suku Laut in Sungai Buluh, a Sea Tribe settlement strikingly unconventional from other settlements around Lingga Regency. The political and development policies are highlighted in this study to emphasize the urgency for strenuous efforts in development planning oriented towards the environment and human context of the inhabitants.
