Daftar Isi:
- This study focused on one of the cultural heritages of the Dawan tribe, namely the Fuah Pah ritual. The Dawan community is generally classified as an agrarian society. To maintain harmony with nature, the Dawan people have various oral traditions. These oral traditions are generally closely related to ritual languages and formal ceremonies within the community. One of the rituals still known and practiced by the Dawan people is Fuah Pah. This ritual was created to overcome the arid environment and unfriendly climate. The methodology used in writing is a hermeneutic study of the Fuah Pah ritual from the perspective of Hans-Georg Gadamer using interview and literature study methods. This study found that the presence of Uis Neno for the Timor Dawan community arises from the experience of encountering other creations. This experience is felt as something awe-inspiring and beyond human reasoning. This experience leads the Timor Dawan community to the conclusion that "something incomprehensible is God," which for the Dawan community is the Uis Neno.
