The mengerumbang traditional ceremony is one of the important traditional rites in Pakpak society, performed by elderly individuals as a form of repayment of traditional debts to hula-hula before death. This study aims to examine the symbolic meaning, social structure, and socio-cultural function of the mengerumbang ceremony in the context of contemporary Pakpak society. The research method used is a qualitative approach with ethnographic methods, through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation of customs. The results show that mengerumbang is not merely a traditional ritual, but a social mechanism to maintain honour, kinship continuity (sulang silima), economic redistribution, and the legitimacy of a person's social status in the Pakpak traditional structure. Changes in ritual practices due to the influence of religion and modernisation indicate a process of cultural adaptation without eliminating the core meaning of the custom. Thus, the mengerumbang ceremony functions as a space for negotiation between tradition, identity, and social change in Pakpak society.Referensi
