REVITALIZATION OF THE MARHATA AS A CULTURAL HERITAGE IN THE BATAK TOBA TRADITION
Main Article Content
Abstract
This research explain how to revitalize marhata (customary speech) as a cultural heritage in the Batak Toba tradition. Marhata is a core tradition in Batak Toba ceremonies, but not many people know about its implementation. Qualitative research methods with ethnographic models were used. The result is the revitalization of the marhata as a tradition to inherit, protect and develop. Consequently, this will be carried out by strengthening the collective awareness through a representation of its cultural identity. This research also recognized the revitalization efforts carried out in the marhata tradition by forming community groups and traditional leaders, managing groups, as well as socialization with the younger generation. Furthermore, a seminar related to marhata by cultural experts was held in the established indigenous community. This revitalization of cultural heritage involved passing the tradition from the Batak Toba customary leaders to the younger generation.
