Abstract:
This study aims to analyze the position of Tong konan land as part of the Tana Toraja Indigenous Peoples
and analyze the Tongkonan land management system. The research method used is empirical juridical
sourced from primary data and secondary data by being analyzed qualitatively descriptively. The results of
this study show that the status of Tongkonan land ownership in Toraja is not comprehensive due to the need
for an approach based on local wisdom values so that Toraja customary law communities can carry out all
economic, social, and cultural activities on Tongkonan land and there is also a new legal relationship
between customary law communities and Tongkonan land and The loss of legal relations between the two
sides caused by the loss of communal value of the tongkonan land . The status of tongkonan land is bound
by customary law so that it is subject to applicable customary law, among others, the land is prohibited from
being transferred to other parties outside the Tongkonan community (Toraja indigenous people)
