Abstract

This study aims to describe and explain how someone can be said to be urang pasisi (urang pasisi) and what is meant by Sikambang Art and Sumando Custom which are forms of coastal community culture in Jago Jago Village, Central Tapanuli Regency. This study uses a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach, through observation and in-depth interviews with research informants. The benefits of this study are to increase the author's knowledge in compiling scientific works, and it is hoped that this study can increase the knowledge of the author and readers as well as the sensitivity of the local government to continue to support and preserve the culture in Jago Jago Village, such as the culture of Sikambang Art and Sumando Customs. The results of this study indicate that someone who has an identity as a coastal ethnic group or coastal community are people with surnames who merge into one and follow the culture and customs of the coastal community. Those who live or reside on the coast and those who move to the coast, also merge into one and carry out coastal culture such as Sikambang Art and Sumando Custom. The conclusion of this study is that the coast is more identical to the residential area, but those who live on the coast are often called urang pasisi, they are a group of people who have various different ethnic identities, such as the Minang, Batak, Nias, Javanese, Acehnese, then they interact with each other for a long time so that they form and give birth to a new culture called Sumando Custom. This is because Sumando Custom emerged from the marriage of Minang and Batak people who maintained their Matrilocal and Patrilocal so that they gave birth to something new, namely Neolocal, this is often also called assimilation. Coastal culture and customs that have been carried out from generation to generation since the time of their ancestors, and the culture they have is different from the cultures of other ethnic groups.
