Historically, the Minangkabau migrants have coexisted peacefully with local communities in which they settle, and there is no record of conflict between the Minangkabau migrants and local inhabitants. This study attempted to determine the values espoused by this nomadic community. The study was grounded in literature study approach of philosophical hermeneutics and utilized methodical elements, such as description, induction deduction, synthesis analysis, and heuristics. The study also applied observation, and interviews with the Minangkabau migrants. The findings revealed that the culture of this ethnic group explicitly encourages young people to venture abroad. The ethical values that form the basis of the outmigration’s of the Minangkabau community are affirmed by the adat (local) proverbs that prescribe strong work ethics, mutual respect, and an understanding of the local culture to which they outmigrate.

Researchers have reported the strong traditional tenets embraced by this minority population (Nasroen, 1971; Navis, 1984; Naim, 1984; Djamaris, 1991; Mustansyir and Munir, 1997; Revita, 2007; Baqi, 2009; Misnal et al., 2020). Extant studies have examined the customs, outmigration patterns, aspects of tambo, norms of family life, use of language in the community, and changing cultural practices of the Minangkabau. Figure 1: The Map of West Sumatra, Indonesia Outmigration has become an obligation for the Minangkabau tribe in West Sumatra and forms a part of the personal and social lives of the tribe’s members (Figure 1). Almost all provincial cities in Indonesia house migrants from the Minangkabau tribe or, at the very least, are home to people whose ancestors belonged to the Minangkabau ethnicity. The Minangkabau people outmigrate because of their love for their hometown as mandated by the traditional Minangkabau philosophy, Sayang dianak dilecuti, sayang dikampuang ditinggakan. However, outmigration is also driven by economic motives so that the resources of their village are not exhausted or reduced. According to data and facts, more Minangkabau people reside overseas than remain settled in West Sumatra. The term merantau (outmigration) means to leave home or to go away from the land of one’s birth (Kato, 2005: 13). The philosophy of outmigration can be observed in varied aspects and symbols integral to the lives of the Minangkabau people. Some principles for the Minangkabau youth that must be learned as a provision to outmigrate include a good understanding of their religious principles, basilek (self-defense), and cooking. First, the azan (call for prayer) is intended to incorporate the values of religious philosophy, so that the young migrants do not sin. Besides, the cultures of the places to which they will migrate will undoubtedly be different from that of their region of origin. The areas to which the people migrate are likely to offer abundant temptations. Therefore, a strong grounding in religious tenets must become a provision for outmigration. Basilek (self-defense) refers to training for self-preservation when facing danger, the Minangkabau migrants live without dunsanak or family members; hence, they have no recourse to protection. The nomadic youth should be able to defend themselves when others threaten their safety: musuh indak dicari, kalau basuo pantang diilakkan (we should not make an enemy, but if a clash occurs, we shall not evade). Culinary skills are taught by the Minangkabau parents so their children can be self-reliant, especially in terms of fulfilling their daily needs for nutrition. Cooking is also a skill that provides numerous benefits: in addition to helping the migrants eat in a healthy and economic manner, 128 Aprizal, ; Ali sjahbana, S,W, ; Nurhasanah, A. (2021) The Development of the Flood Inundation Area … culinary skills could be employed to earn a living, as may be evidenced by the profusion of Padang (Minangkabau) restaurants in various places all over Asia. For instance, restaurants specializing in Padang cuisine are also common in countries such as Malaysia and Singapore. By profession, the Minangkabau migrants are generally traders and entrepreneurs, and the abovementioned Padang restaurants represent their most favored line of business. Typical and well-known Padang restaurant menu items include the rendang, jerky, and curry chicken, which are all very popular dishes in Indonesia and in other countries. For the Minangkabau youth, outmigration is a legacy they have received from their nomadic ancestors. In Islam, the term is known as hijrah. The average Minangkabau teenager tends to leave the parental home after graduation from high school to pursue college education or to find a good living elsewhere. The Minangkabau men outmigrate on their own, and the women accompany their husbands. Interestingly, the Minangkabau people do not form migrant communities in places to which they migrate. Instead, they blend in with the communities where they live. The Minangkabau migrants can usually coexist easily with other communities despite their different ethnicity, culture, and religion. They are usually welcomed by the local communities because they are personable and have excellent communication and interpersonal skills. As the saying goes, the Minangkabau dima bumi dipijak, disinan langik di junjuang (when in Rome, do as the Romans do). They always value, obey, and uphold all the rules and regulations, both legal and custom-related. Thus, they can live in peace wherever they go. As has been clarified above, the Minangkabau migrants can adapt and mingle with the local people in the areas to which they outmigrate regardless of their differences in cultures and customs. This study aims to investigate and explore the basic philosophy of outmigration of the Minangkabau people. The research problem examined in the current paper is formulated in the following manner: What are the outmigration values of the Minangkabau people? What are the ethics that underlie the attitudes of the Minangkabau people as they outmigrate? Methodology Research Design The research is based on literature studies. The study based on primarily, the reviewed books can be classified into two groups. First, the paper evaluates “original” Minangkabau literary works or books containing the Minangkabau ujar-ujar or pepatah-petitih (proverbs) that usually have moral and spiritual values that are outlined in the form of gurindam, mamangan, and pantun. Second, the paper examines scholarly literature, including sociological, anthropological, and philosophical books and articles written by experts on the Minangkabau culture. In addition, there exist many ujar-ujar in the Minangkabau culture that are not necessarily written in one book or article but are usually expressed in the daily lives of the tribe’s members. These oral or living principles are also utilized as resources for the current study. The first research procedure comprises exploration and identification. At this stage, text or speech that forms the research material is carefully explored, and the values of the text or speech are subsequently identified. Values are measured in terms of their suitability for application in the daily lives of the Minangkabau people and, more specifically, are assessed according to the significance of human life as per the Minangkabau culture. The second phase involves exploitation and interpretation. Values contained in certain written expressions and oral utterances, among others, in the form of gurindam, mamangan, and pantun are expressed and interpreted. These values are usually still “hidden.” Therefore, their revelation takes the shape of an explanation and interpretation to render the speech or textual values perceptible. Keywords can then elucidate the values unveiled from the texts and from oral utterances about the significance of human life for the Minangkabau culture. The third step is a critical review that is executed through the construction of the meaning of human life for the Minangkabau culture through the establishment of associations with the consistency of components within the overall construction framework of the values and their correspondence with empirical experiences and pragmatic practices. 129 © RIGEO ● Review of International Geographical Education 11(4), WINTER, 2021 Research Analysis The analysis technique of the data employed the hermeneutic–reflexive method to discover the inner human life of

    Conclusion: Convergent Paths In November 1945, the President of the Republic of Vietnam, Hồ Chí Minh, sent a letter addressed to ‘the President of the Republic of Indonesia’, proposing that a joint declaration of solidarity to be made by Indonesia and Vietnam in the form of a ‘Preparatory Commission Struggling for a Federation of the Free Peoples of Southern Asia’. The letter, entrusted to an American journalist named Harold Isaacs, did not reach President Soekarno.1 It was handed to Vice-President Mohammad Hatta, who then passed it on to Prime Minister Sutan Sjahrir. Sjahrir discussed the offer with Soedjatmoko Koko, the interpreter to foreign correspon- dents of the Republican government, but told him that he would not reply and preferred just to ignore the letter. Sjahrir indifference sprang from his conviction that the situation in Indonesia and Vietnam were very different. The Indonesian nationalists were up against the Dutch, who were ‘a weak colonial power and could be defeated quickly.’ Hồ Chí Minh had to contend with the French, who could and would resist him for a long time. Furthermore, he looked askance at the fact that the DRV government depended on support from the communists, which was not the case in Indonesia. In conclusion, Sjahrir argued, ‘If we ally ourselves with Hồ Chí Minh, we shall weaken ourselves and delay Independence.’2 The story of the missed opportunity for cooperation between Vietnam and Indonesia3 as a result of Sjahrir’s ‘betrayal of the greater Asian revolution’,as 1Harold Robert Isaacs is the author of No Peace for Asia, which has been cited widely in this dissertation.

The research method is a case study which focuses on the presence of gandang tasa in various ritual processions.

Poppy was studying at the London School, England and Sjahrir in Jakarta, the two then flew to Cairo and married there, witnessed by Soedjatmoko, a child of revolution, which is also a leading intelligentsia and political cadre of Sjahrir. Apparently, the First Prime Minister of the Republic of Indonesia, Sutan Sjahrir had a speck of history in the Middle East during the war of independence 1945-1949, which makes its way to Egypt to meet with the Arab leaders, fighters, intellectuals, activists and warriors. Sjahrir even met Hassan al-Bana, founder of the Muslim Brotherhood persistent against colonialism and imperialism in the Muslim world, especially the Middle East.

  • Analysis of M. Natsir's Thoughts on Islamic
    Integral-Universal Education: Analysis of M. Natsir’s Thoughts on Islamic Education Kasmuri Selamat Universitas Islam Negeri (UIN) Sultan Syarif Kasim, Riau, Indonesia [email protected] Abstract. This paper aimed at exploring M. Natsir's thoughts on Islamic education. Using a qualitative study with a historical approach, the writer found that M. Natsir was a rare figure. He was not only a scholar but also a thinker, a politician, and an educator. As an educator, he not only became a teacher, but also gave birth to various educational concepts known as an integral and universal education concept. He was an architect and an anti-dichotomous thinker of Islamic education. According to Natsir, Islam did not separate spiritual matters from worldly affairs. The spiritual aspect would be the basis of worldliness. The foregoing indicated that religious ethics emphasized by Islamic teachings must be the foundation of life. The conceptual basis of "educational modernism" with tauhid as its foundation demonstrated that he was a figure who really cared about Islamic education. Keywords: Integral-Universal Education, M. Natsir, Thought Introduction Minangkabau, West Sumatra, is one of the areas that cannot be underestimated because there are many great figures on the national and international scales in various fields of expertise from this area, such as scholars, politicians, and other strategic fields. Among these figures are Tuanku Imam Bonjol, Haji Agus Salim, Sutan Sjahrir, Hamka, M. Natsir, and others. Everybody knows these names and their works. These figures lived in the early 20th century when three ideological groups competed with one another to dominate in the struggle for independence.

  • Punden Berundak, Toba Purba, Banjir Besar, Wawasan Nusantara, Gunung Padang
    INFO2 INFO YANG MENDEBARKAN: Punden Berundak, Toba Purba, Banjir Besar, Wawasan Nusantara, Gunung Padang PRIMADI TABRANI Abstract This article is not yet a real research; it is more as a deep reflection. But those deep reflections are worth to be researched thoroughly by experts from many fields of study integratingly. Thinking of people in land-continent with many countries as Europe is different then thinking of people in one country as Indonesia, a maritime-continent. In land-continents thinking, sea is to separte, in maritime-continent Indonesia with its islands, sea is to unite, wawasan Nusantara as old as prehis- tory. Each country in a land-continent are eager to differentiate and defend to other countries by ethnic, language, religion, ideology, while in Indonsia as a maritime-continent, we is one country, several parts are slightly different but we are “one”: “Bhinneka Tunggal Ika”. In land-continent countries, a city with walls fortification, a country with great walls fortification are usual. While it is not so in Maritime-continent Indonesia, as is Trowulan the capital of the great empire Majapahit. Our school books says that the population of Indonesia comes from Asia, 5000 BC and 2000 BC, while it is known that the migration of homosapiens has reach West Nusantara about 60 – 80.000 BC, and experienced the ancient Toba Mountain great explosion and the three great floods. The west theory said that Indonesia is a country between two continents and two aceans, where culture, etnic, nation, religion, etc, criss cross ofer it. So Indonesia ’has nothing’. No local genius.

Revised: April 23, 2018. Accepted: June 10, 2018 Abstract The goal of this article is to bring to light lareh nan bunta as a form of representation of the sys- tem of democracy – or power – developed by Dt. Nan Sakelap Dunia. The discussion in this paper uses a qualitative method which is backed up by quantitative data. The data was collected through participant observation, interviewing, discussion, and analysis. The analysis was car- ried out using a descriptive method using theoretical reasoning, with knowledge of aesthetics and art. The results of the research show that conceptually, talempong basaua is a musical reality which represents lareh nan bunta in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau. Lareh nan bunta is a synthesis of the influence of power – or dialectic – between lareh kotopiliang (autocracy) and lareh bodicaniago (democracy), each with its own system of leadership. The dualism in the autocratic and demo- cratic systems of power form a balancing power known as lareh nan bunta – a combination of all three existing conceptions. Lareh nan bunta is also reflected in the concept of musical aesthetics in talempong basaua in Luhak 50 Koto Minangkabau. Talempong basaua represents a combination of two musical concepts, namely talempong and the rhythms or irama of dendang (vocal music), which are combined to create a new genre.
