Involving God, Conservation of Forest, Tae Indigenous CommunityAbstract
This study aims to explore the nature of God’s involvement, the driving factors, and the impact of God’s involvement in the management of customary forests. The researcher employed a qualitative research design with a phenomenological approach aimed at uncovering the meaning of God’s involvement in the management of customary forests by the community of Tae Village. Based on the research findings, the researcher draws the following conclusions: 1) The manifestation of God’s involvement in the management of customary forests is evident in the recitation of incantations during traditional rituals, which invoke the name of Jibata or God in the Tae indigenous community’s belief system; it appears in the form of symbols serving as intermediaries in communication between the indigenous community and God; and it manifests as taboos and prohibitions within customary laws; 2) The driving factor for the Tae indigenous community to involve God in the management of customary forests is the awareness that involving God in all aspects is a fundamental necessity for them in warding off the threat of forest destruction from external parties, and this involvement of God is also a cultural legacy passed down from their ancestors; 3) The impact felt by the community from involving God is that the forest’s sustainability is preserved from corporate expansion that could destroy it, and they reap abundant harvests accompanied by a sense of peace when God is involved in every activity.
