- Access of forest village people to fair environmental management is still a problem after local autonomy. It was due to government still focusing forest management on reaping the local original income by reason of development. Therefore, license to forest management in the form of mining and plantation licenses was issued so easily by local government. Consequently, the annexation of indigenous forests makes indigenous peoples trapped in poverty. It seems different from what happened in North Mamuju regency. The results of this study showed that palm plantations have become a source of livelihood in North Mamuju. Palm becomes a significant factor to support the increase of per capita income, economic growth and socio-economic life of society in general. It could be due to the factors, the resistance of indigenous peoples in forest management was avoidable. The presence of palm plantation company results in the neighborhoods of Bunggu people more open and their social and economic life increase. Importantly, though the farmers relatively increase their revenues from palm, the Bunggu as an indigenous people retain their plantation system. They believe that a plantation system becomes the breath of life. A plantation is a legacy secured by ancestors. In this case there is a chain-link between forests and supernatural life. It also caused the Bunggu people be affected by myth life with ceremonial traditions to facilitate. In this study, the researcher is an important research instrument. It means that the theoretical sensitivity is a determinant in the process and research result. The qualitative research model will use observation and interviews as a way of data collecting. However, interpretative and reflective ability of researchers become the basis in doing credible verification research.
