Abstract
This study examines the indigenous values of the Sikka and Lamalera communities embodied in the traditional sayings Hode Lau Ina Limé, Ina Soro Sare-Sare and Blatang Ganu Wair, Blirang Ganu Wolong/Bao as foundations for a harmonious relationship between humanity and nature. Amid rapid modernization, these values have become increasingly marginalized, highlighting the need to reassess their relevance for maintaining ecological balance and environmental sustainability. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method with an analytical approach, drawing on interviews and a literature review. The findings reveal that these traditional teachings regard the sea and the land not merely as natural resources but as sacred entities deserving respect. They represent the presence of the Creator in sustaining community life and provide ethical guidance for fostering harmonious human–nature relationships. Therefore, these indigenous values remain highly relevant as a foundation for environmental conservation in the face of contemporary development challenges.
Abstrak
Penelitian ini menganalisis nilai-nilai luhur masyarakat Sikka dan Lamalera yang terkandung dalam petuah adat Hode Lau Ina Limé, Ina Soro Sare-Sare dan Blatang Ganu Wair, Blirang Ganu Wolong/Bao sebagai dasar hubungan harmonis antara manusia dan alam. Di tengah modernisasi, nilai-nilai tersebut semakin terpinggirkan, sehingga diperlukan upaya untuk memahami relevansinya dalam menjaga keseimbangan ekologis dan kelestarian lingkungan. Penelitian menggunakan metode deskriptif kualitatif dengan pendekatan analitis melalui wawancara dan studi pustaka. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kedua petuah adat memandang laut dan daratan tidak hanya sebagai sumber daya, tetapi juga sebagai entitas suci yang harus dihormati. Nilai-nilai tersebut merepresentasikan kehadiran Sang Pencipta yang menopang kehidupan masyarakat serta menjadi pedoman etis dalam membangun relasi yang harmonis antara manusia dan alam. Dengan demikian, kearifan lokal ini tetap relevan sebagai landasan pelestarian lingkungan di tengah tantangan pembangunan modern.
