Abstract

A significant portion of cultural symbols in Ambon, Indonesia were destroyed during the 1999-2004 religious conflict. This widespread devastation of religious and cultural objects was an attack against Ambonese group identities, the ramifications of which persist today, complicating reconciliatory efforts. This paper aims to raise awareness on the importance of the conservation of cultural objects in Ambon as one way to promote sustainable peace in the region, and draws attention to customary socio-political entities (negeri) as important actors to be considered in the discussion. Data was obtained through studies of literature and documentation, interviews, and focus group discussions. It was found that to their recent rise in prominence in Ambonese governance, negeri are expected to be able to significantly contribute in this effort through the social engagement of its members. Raising awareness should include cross-religious (Muslim/Christian) education, which will indirectly aid in the reconciliation effort by building mutual trust and recognition between cultural identities.
