Abstract

The research was conducted by collecting ethnographic data through ethical and emic
perspectives on the local wisdom of the Benuaq Dayak community in utilizing Doyo leaf fiber
as a material for making ikat (weaving Doyo). The method used is qualitative research, using
data collection techniques by conducting interviews, observations, and documentation. The
data analysis technique uses interactive analysis models.The results showed that; First, the
Dayak Benuaq community in Tanjung Isuy, West Kutai Regency, still maintains the local
wisdom of Doyo weaving by utilizing forest products in the form of Doyo plants as raw
materials. In addition, the craftsmen still use natural dyeing techniques using various types of
leaves, bark, and sawdust to make Doyo weaving motifs. Second, Doyo weaving is one of the
crafts of the Dayak Continental community which has high economic value. In addition,
Doyo weaving also has socio-cultural values that can be seen from the motifs and decorations,
as well as their use in certain traditional ceremonies, such as weddings. Third, the effort to
preserve Doyo weaving has encountered several obstacles, including, the decreasing number
of young people who are interested in becoming Doyo weaving craftsmen as one of the
obstacles for the community in preserving Doyo weaving in Tanjung Isuy, West Kutai
Regency.
