Abstract

his study aims to find out how cultural communication in the Marhata Sinamot procession at the traditional wedding of the Toba Batak in Duri City plays a role in shaping the cultural identity of the Toba Batak people overseas. Marhata Sinamot is not only a process of determining dowry, but also a symbolic communication medium that strengthens relationships between families and passes on traditional values to the younger generation. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data was obtained through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation. The informants consisted of three married couples who had carried out the Marhata Sinamot procession in Duri, as well as a traditional leader (parhata) who played an important role in the implementation of the procession. Data analysis was carried out qualitatively by triangulating sources and thematic approaches. The results of the study show that the Marhata Sinamot procession in Duri still upholds the cultural values of the Toba Batak, especially the philosophy of Dalihan Na Tolu. Despite adjustments in form and implementation, such as the incorporation of event stages and time flexibility, core values such as respect for hula-hula, family deliberation, and the involvement of traditional leaders are maintained. This procession is an important means in maintaining the cultural identity of the Toba Batak while reflecting the process of cultural negotiation that is adaptive to the new social environment.
