Abstract

Indonesia has ethnicity and cultural richness. Beside it, Indonesia has also conflict potential in many faces. The relationship between societal conflict and local wisdom has been one of the main themes of study among scholars within the last decade. Some scholars believe that conflict is in contradiction with local values. This paper,
however, argues that conflict and local wisdom are in harmony by analysing the relationship between conflict and local tradition among the Dayak people, an ethnic group in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. Using an phenomenology study approach, it focuses on how Dayak people maintain and preserve the tradition of Manyanggar. They regard this tradition as an ancient heritage that has to be maintained due to its important values. They also believe that tradition of Manyanggar is a spirit of reconciliation among the community.
