Abstract

Abstract This study aims to analyze the meaning of food specialization in the Miare tradition for the people of Makrampai village. The research data were obtained in in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentary studies. Data collection was carried out from September to December 2021. The data analysis found that the two groups gave different meanings regarding the specialization of food for the Makrampai village society. First, for groups which know the Miare tradition, food specialization is interpreted as an effort to remind death. Second, food specialization is interpreted as respect for ancestral cultural heritage and preserving local wisdom for the lay group. Based on these findings, it can be concluded that the meaning of the specialization of food in the Miare tradition for the Makrampai village society is closely related to each individual's understanding of the essence of the Miare tradition.
