always willing to study, explore and research the

phenomena that occur, as the traditional mamangan
describes: manilantang maituang rafters, maereng

maituang dindiang, manungkuik maituang floors

(brave counting rafters, tilted counting walls, face down
counting floors).

c. Fundamentalist; Mamangan adat mentions that it is
customary for the paneh deck not to be obsolete, the

rain deck not to be obsolete. (a custom that doesn't fade
because of heat, doesn't rot because of rain). Two of the

four main types of customs are customs that cannot be

changed because they are sunatullah.
d. Inclusive; Mamangan adat states: where the earth is

stepped on, where sinan langik is upheld. (where the
earth is stepped on, there the sky is upheld). In matters

that are not principal, the Minang community is very
open and responsive, flexible and innovative.

Answering the phenomena that occur around him, and

if necessary things that are already used but not useful
should be abandoned. Innovative, not leaving problems

left unsolved, problem solving emerges with new

thinking.
