Abstract

In Indonesia's maritime history, Palembang holds important legitimacy as the capital of Sriwijaya Kingdom and Palembang Sultanate which is a large maritime kingdom in Sumatra Island region and Malacca Strait. Of course, in achieving this success, it turns out that there is a role for the Orang Laut who contributed to securing Palembang sea area and Malacca Strait. Srivijaya's efforts to integrate the strength of the Orang Laut continued into the next period. This study tries to examine the relationship between Orang Laut and Palembang. What was the background and dynamics that occured in the relationship. This study uses historical methods (hueristics, verification, interpretation, and historiography) with an anthropological approach. The objectives show that the structure of the relationship between Orang Laut and Palembang was formed from time to time as an outcome of mutually beneficial and patron-client relationships that existed until the colonial period. However, after Palembang Sultanate, relationship between Orang Laut and Palembang began to strain due to Orang Laut was labelled as pirates by the Dutch. In the end, the relationship ended when Palembang was fully controlled by the Dutch.
