Abstract

The object of this research is Gawai Dayak ritual practiced in several regions in West Borneo. Although Gawai is an annual ritual, it is merely regarded as a spectacle; the educational aspect is not yet exposed deeply and there is only few research talking about this ritual.Based on this fact, this research aims to identify the symbolism, especially non-verbal symbolism, applied on Gawai ritual. It is expected that the other enthusiasts can use the findings of this research to learn Sastra Nusantara (Literature of Nusantara) by looking at the degree of relevance of this research towards the Sastra Nusantara learning. This research applied qualitative method with semiotic approach by revealing the cultural symbolism.
