Abstract

Humans have a close relationship with nature either as guardians, explorers, or even nature waster. The relationship between humans and nature is also manifested in literary works, especially folklore. In folklore, the relationship between humans and nature is described as very intimate. However, this relationship is not only beneficial for nature itself. In the Minangkabau folklore Ikan Sakti, it is illustrated that the relationship is not too good between humans and nature which ultimately causes harm to nature and humans. This shows a criticism of the destructive attitude of humans towards nature and the environment in which humans live. In the folklore Ikan Sakti depicted local wisdom about how to maintain nature and the environment so that there is a harmonious relationship between humans and nature. In addition, the folklore of Ikan Sakti also voices the cultural aspects as well as the ecological aspects of the community behind the folklore.
