ABSTRACT
Using participant-observation and interview data, the contestation arena of palm oil plantations covering an area of 3,391 hectares (2022) in Dharmasraya and crude palm oil companies practiced by smallholders, peasants groups, and corporations has resulted in the impact of natural forest habitat losses for the Suku Rimba. With an environmental crisis for the Suku Rimba community, there is a practice of mutual relations between a fragment of the Suku Rimba, namely Rombong Marni and transmigrants in Kampong Sitiung. Domain analysis shows that mutual relations consist of the practice of exchanging commodities from forest products along with voluntary actions from transmigrants to support the health of the Suku Rimba. However, the consumption and domestication of banded pigs have an impact on the strict relationship between the Suku Rimba community and the Kerapatan Adat Nagari Minangkabau-Malay customary tradition.
