Abstract

Torajanese who once grows up as a primary oral society, tied with ancient traditions, especially in the form of ceremony. One of them, which still has an important role in the society, is consecration ceremony of Tongkonan named Mangrara Banua. However, in process of its implementation now, Mangrara Banua is changed by Christianity, which has replaced role of Aluk Todolo as original religion of the society. It is not only the switch from Aluk Todolo to Christian, but also modernization that impact Torajanese lifestyle is also affect change of the forms of ceremony in Toraja, especially Mangrara Banua. Therefore, through method of ethnography that covering interviews, observations, and participations, collected data is expected to be able to give a new understanding about social and cultural life of Torajanese through the consecration ceremony. Christianization and modernization not only impact transformation or process of the ceremony implementation, but also oral sources that publishing the local wisdom that is endowed by ancestors. Tradition and changes are two things that difficult to be separated. In one hand, tradition make the changse as effort to struggle in the middle age of development, but on the other hand, changes often blur 'soul' as the spirit in tradition
