Abstract

There are two concepts of religion in the worldview: world religion and local religion. The world religion paradigm dominates society, so the representation of local religion will always look primitive and strange. Local religions will always be illustrated with backwardness and world religions that become prototypes will be considered more modern. The paradigm of local religion that is placed as a conservative, animist, not dynamic teachings and practices and other accusations of pejorative terminology makes local religion considered a traditional value that must be modernized. This research uses the constructivism paradigm with qualitative methodology. The results of the study found forms of syncretism in the Sea Tribe community which can be seen from the form of their funeral which is given offerings, especially on sacred nights. In addition, they still believe in an object that is believed to have magical properties.
