Abstract

The Indonesian nation is a nation having a variety of religions, ethnicities, races, cultures, customs, and traditions spreaded throughout Indonesia. The diversity of Indonesia is wealth as well as a blessing that must be preserved for the Indonesian people. The purpose of this study is to describe the values in the traditional Saprahan of the Malay Sambas community in reinforcing national identity. This research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach. In collecting data, the research uses observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Then for analyzing data, it uses reduction, presentation, and conclusion techniques. The results showed that the Saprahan tradition has main values among others: (1) the value of cooperation, (2) the value of unity, (3) the value of simplicity, and (4) the value of religion. The application of the Saprahan tradition can bind unity and integrity which in turn can strengthen national identity and community identity. The Saprahan tradition needs to be carried out continuously to preserve the customs/ cultural traditions of the nation, to foster a sense of togetherness among citizens.
