In the heart of the & x22;Mengkurak Tulan& x22; ritual, elders and family members of the Pakpak tribe in North Sumatra, Indonesia, gather to perform a traditional dialogue. They are asking for formal and spiritual permission from the & x22;Tuan Tanah& x22; & x28;landowners or local custodians& x29; to conduct the ceremony and finalize the relocation of ancestral bones into the clan monument & x28;Tugu Marga& x29;. This session is vital to ensure the harmony of the ritual and respect for the local community& x27;s customs.
