Religious Value in Papua Traditional Dance: “Pangkur Sagu” 1. INTRODUCTION Indonesia has a variety of ecological communities that still maintain a strong cultural identity, one of which is the Papuan community. Papuan tribes are a Melanesian race that has physical characteristics of curly hair, black skin, and sharp nose. Quoting Somantri's statement (2008: 1) that the Papuan word itself comes from the Malay language which means curly hair, a picture that refers to the physical appearance of indigenous Papuans. In terms of naming, it is clear that Papuans have special physical characteristics that are different from other tribes in Indonesia. In addition, strong customs show the strong value of Papua's local wisdom, for example reflected in traditional houses, traditional dances, traditional customs, traditional ceremonies, languages and livelihoods. In an effort to preserve and preserve the existence of existing customs through cultural arts, Papuans have succeeded in passing on to generations of Papuans themselves and introducing them to the outside world even to foreign countries. Reported from the May 13, 2014 detik.com edition, Indonesian students who were studying in London had performed a traditional Papuan dance "Pangkur Sagu" with great fanfare at the Indonesian Culture Festival 2014 in Manchester along with the traditional Mendet Dance and Gending Sriwijaya dance. The dance "Pangkur Sagu" is a traditional Papuan dance that is often displayed at a celebration event. In Merauke, the dance "Pangkur Sagu" is often displayed in celebrations such as the People's Day performance in the city of Merauke or art performances in schools in the city of Merauke. One dance studio that plays an important role in the preservation of traditional dances of this kind is the Dahuke'he Papua dance studio which is located on the Garuda Spadem of Merauke. In addition to preserving through the existence of art studios, a culture can be preserved through a learning process such as studying or researching. This is like Siregar's statement (2002: 6) that culture obtained from learning is not biologically derived or inherited through unsurgenetics, so if it is not studied it will be destroyed. One way to learn it is to do a research. The results of his research will generate new knowledge as an insight enhancer that will be useful for many people as well as a way to preserve a culture and find the values contained in it. One of the important values to be explored in a traditional dance is religious value. Religious value according to Sjarkawi (2008: 31) is a value that comes from the belief in God that is in someone. Religious values become very important for humans because they are related to their relationship to God. Even today there are many efforts to instill religious values to the next generation of the nation, such as in the study of Sutrisno (2016), Sulistyawati (2017), and Irwanto (2018). The three studies are mostly carried out in the field of education with the aim of forming the character of students to have noble character and good character in the midst of an increasingly free flow of development. Based on the foregoing, researchers taking religious values in the traditional dance "Pangkur Sagu" is to explore the elements and religious messages in them that are not visible only by watching the dance with the eyes, but are explored through a study. In addition, according to Kuswarsantyo (2012: 18) through dance can realize an identity and character formation. Then it can be said that the dance art "Pangkur Sagu" can realize the identity of the Papuan people and shape the character through the values contained in it. So it is important to explore the religious values of this traditional dance. Later, the results obtained can be introduced to the next generation, especially the next generation of indigenous Papuans, one of which is through this article which describes the description of religious values in the traditional Papuan dance "Pangkur Sagu". http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 1861 editor@iaeme.com

From the elaboration above, this study shows the results that in Papuan traditional dance "Pangkur Sagu", there are four (4) main religious values namely; Thank God, Gotong Royong, Obey Leaders, Make a living. 3.3. Thank God Religious elements are found in the dance "Pangkur Sagu" which is found in two scenes. First, the movement to pray to God before going to earn a living led by a dancer who acts as chairman (Ondoafi) at 3: 08-03: 45. Praying is the interaction of creatures to God that contain both asking / asking also to praise the greatness of God or thank God for what God has given. Then other religious values appear in the Nggatsi (Marind) movement. This movement is a typical Marind tribal movement that describes the movement united with the earth in the minutes 04: 36-05: 35. He described the sacred ritual which is basically an activity to whisper to the earth as an expression of gratitude to God for providing abundant food to survive on the face of the earth. Praying and whispering to the earth is a religious element that describes the expression of gratitude to God for the blessings obtained. Figure 1. The Leader Leads Prayer Before Going to Forest Figure 2. Nggatsi Move In addition to praying, the expression of gratitude is also reflected in the joy of getting food. This can be seen in the minutes to 08: 50-0912) that the dance movements are faster with more racing music and smiles on the faces of the dancers showing the joy of the Papuan people when they return from the garden / forest with results. http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 1863 editor@iaeme.com
Sri Winarsih and Casimirus Andy Fenanlampir Figure 3. Closing Move 3.4. Mutual cooperation Mutual cooperation is a form of cooperation between community groups to achieve a positive outcome from the goals to be achieved by consensus and mutual consultation. (Effendi, 2013: 5). According to the definition, in the dance "Pangkur Sagu" shows the value of mutual cooperation shown in the formation of group dancers and is shown in the overall duration of the dance from the beginning to the end of the activities of carrying sago together. In the dance, it appears that several people in the group carry out activities together to achieve the common goal of going to the garden to make a living. The whole series of activities are anchored in sago using the most common pieces found in the minutes of 06:55 to 07:45). Figure 4. Tilling Sagoo 3.5. Obey the Leader Obeying leaders is the teaching of all religions. If interpreted more broadly, obeying a leader can mean obedience to the authorities. The ruler can mean the ruler of all creatures and the whole universe, God. In addition the ruler can mean the leader of a country, the leader of a province, even the leader in the smallest scope, namely the head of the village / tribal chief. The figure of the leader called the Ondoafi in the dance "Pangkur Sagu" has been seen from the beginning of the dance performed from minutes 00:50. The opening of the dance was carried out by a dancer who acted as a leader who invited his citizens to go to the forest to find food and then followed by all the dancers who faithfully followed the Ondoafi. Then it appears that the pattern of life of the Papuan people is grouped under the leadership of a head called ondoafi. http://www.iaeme.com/IJMET/index.asp 1864 editor@iaeme.com
Religious Value in Papua Traditional Dance: “Pangkur Sagu” Figure 5. Leading the Group 3.6. Working for a living The order to work to make a living to make ends meet is certainly there in every religion. The activity of sago cage consists of a sequence of activities that have the same pattern, namely cutting down the sago trees, destroying the sago tree trunk, squeezing the sago and processing the sago flour extract. In the lives of Papuans, sago is a staple food. The sago flour that has been produced is then processed into ready-to-eat food, some even become a source of income for sale on the market. This is done to meet the needs of everyday life. The four religious values mentioned above are the results of a study that was examined from the traditional Papuan dance "Pangkur Sagu". As expressed by Kuswarsantyo (2012: 18) that through dance can realize an identity and character formation. Then it can be said that the dance art "Pangkur Sagu" can realize the identity of the Papuan people who have faith in God and respect for the universe. Thank God for providing food in the universe and working together to get it so that life on earth can take place safely and peacefully. 4. CONCLUSION This research reveals the religious values implied in a traditional dance that cannot be found simply by watching the dance performance, but with a deeper study. The traditional dance "Pangkur Sagu" is full of religious values and messages contained therein; Thank God, Mutual Help, Obedience to Leaders, and Work for Life. The four values are ordered by all religions and beliefs in the world. Thus it was concluded that the culture of indigenous Papuans, namely the Papuan Traditional Dance "Pangkur Sagu" reflects the identity of indigenous Papuans, especially the Marind tribe, that they hold religious values as a guideline for sustaining life.
