Abstract

In the Minahasa community; the term "Mapalus" is very well known. In general; Mapalus is a system of values and norms that exist in the Minahasa community. We can observe it in the Minahasa community who have a sense of mutual cooperation or helping one another. Mapalus culture is also a system of life or the way of life of people in various fields of life so that it becomes an actualization of human nature as creatures that cooperate and have faith in God and are obedient to the values system that exists in society. Basically; Mapalus culture as a form of Minahasa community cultural heritage; in this case; Mapalus cultural heritage that has been passed down for generations; is applied to the people of South Minahasa; because it is a system of cultural values that are applied in social life; where basically; Mapalus has natural and fundamental values in social life and an actualization of the value of human beings as trustworthy creatures and a sense of togetherness or kinship as in the explanation above about Mapalus. The Marantong tradition is still practiced today because according to the people of Motoling sub-district; this tradition is still functional in the community as it contains values that teach how to live a good life for the citizens of the Motoling sub-district containing educational values; mutual cooperation; and discipline that make this tradition still exist. This study was conducted using survey research methods by focusing on the research road map to achieve the objectives: (1) to describe the culture of Mapalus Marontong in West Motoling Sub-District; (2) to describe the community participation in Mapalus Marontong culture. The urgency of this research lies in the absence of a comprehensive research result on the Mapalus Marantong culture in the community of the West Motoling District.
