The article starts from an indigenous woman, also a mother living in urban city, coming back to the hometown to work together due to the social relation. She carries out tribal development affairs by keeping record on the use of the animals /plants and the local spirit and value-Gaga.
During the study, I work as internal member to record construction and also work to implement the norms from the past of not commenting on other river basins by practicing Gaga at Qalah Talah (Lunpi tribe). In this thesis, I try to avoid narrating, interpreting, and constructing not in the point of Galah Talah’s view. In particular, this thesis takes the record of the life value of those who are closely related to life of mountain and forest resources as one of the development paths that it tries to construct. What the interpreter said does not fully represent the overall Qalah Talah thinking that has been influenced by foreign societies. In addition, records are made in the way Qala Talah acquired by his daily life, such as in chat (depth interview), life (participatory observation), oral record (literature reference), and Gaga (the interpretation of life). Therefore, Gaga of the local value is used as the basis for this thesis.
The main article records the uses of animals and plants by observations systematically with hope as a view to serving as a context for development in the future. For example, records on plants can be used for the herbal health development, and character education as educational reference for social development. In hunting and gathering, I record the interactive thinking and behavior between heaven, earth, spirit, and things to implement tribal development, from the in-depth experience travel or tribal education as examples. By doing so, we can retain Gaga value that grows between the local indigenous and the environment to develop ourselves future. The ideas of being in harmony with heaven and earth comes from the elders. Therefore, it is expected the elder will gain a say right instead of being regarded as weak and incompetent (because of again).
