Abstract

This initial study raised local wisdom-based counseling for women from the Muna tribe. Women of the Muna tribe of Southeast Sulawesi are obliged to undergo the Karia tradition, when they are 15-16 years old or enter adulthood. This tradition instills noble values as a provision for life as children, wives, mothers, and members of the community. The study aimed to get an overview of the multicultural counseling process for Muna tribe’s women using the framework of Multicultural Counseling Competencies (MCC): (1) understanding the counselees’ world from different cultures, and (2) developing appropriate counselor interventions, strategies, and techniques. The study used a descriptive qualitative method. Data on Karia traditions were collected through interviews with traditional leaders and a questionnaire for Muna’s women. Respondents involved in this study were taken by chance (Accidental Sampling). The results of the study, related to understanding the culture of the Muna tribe, emphasized further that women are obliged to undergo the Karia tradition because women are seen as a nursery of life. Women who do not live the value will be seen as illegitimate adults and their lives will be stricken with many problems. Women who do not live up to the Karia values view their lives as full of problems and bear the feelings such as guilt, restlessness, failure, and shame. The development of interventions that are in accordance with the culture of the Muna tribe’s women should consider the appropriate area of beliefs, knowledge, and skills within the MCC framework.
