Abstract

Poverty is the estuary for all the problems of social discrimination faced by the Parmalim indigenous people who are in Toba Samosir District, North Sumatra Province, Indonesia. The social discrimination then led to intolerance towards Parmalim because of their beliefs that were considered different. The purpose of this study was to map and analyze the problems of poverty experienced by the Parmalim indigenous people. This research is a constructive qualitative paradigm research by analyzing phenomena, social structure and empirical issues of poverty of the Parmalim community. The findings of this study in the field mention that poverty, discrimination and intolerance experienced by the Parmalim indigenous people are caused by the low political accessibility of the Parmalim community which makes them marginalized in the fields of social, economic, education and the difficulty of obtaining employment.
