ABSTRACT
This chapter deals with processes concerning the formation of ‘Toraja’ identity and the creation of a special ‘Toraja’ district, i.e. Tana Toraja, in South Sulawesi. 2 It thus discusses a process of socio-political construction of Toraja identity which differs widely from the identification of the traditional ‘religion’ of the Toraja with Hindu Dharma Indonesia, as discussed in the following chapter.
