Tapanuli region. In this ethnographic study, researchers studied the existence of
Angkola ethnicity and the factors that influence its survival amid social, cultural,
and economic changes in the region. The research method used is data collection
through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and literature studies. The
results showed that the Angkola Batak ethnicity still has a strong existence in the
South Tapanuli region. There are still several angkola ethnic cultures that are still
carried out, namely Palakka boru, Mangupa boruro, Manggodangkon daganak
tubu, Marbokkot bagas naimbaru, siluluton / hamatean traditional assembly, ni
boru na marbagas and Maligin Ari. Not to mention the preservation of some
relics of the royal house such as the temples of Bahal Portibi and Bagas Godang
Portibi and several other kingdoms. The angkola ethnic community in South
Tapanuli also established the Inter-Customary Institutions Forum (FORKALA),
the Stakeholder Body (BPA), special groups established on Facebook, such as
Angkola Culture Lovers (PABUA), and the youth and women organization NNB
(Naposo Nauli Bulung) as a way to maintain the existence of angkola culture. | en_US |
