Sakai, identity, history, Riau, SumatraAbstract
Sakai's identity has recently begun to be recognized as a customary law community in Riau Province, however this recognition is still partial from a communal identity perspective. This research will specifically describe the search for Sakai as a collective identity among people who have a genealogical relationship with ancient people who previously lived on the coast of the Mandau River. Identity tracing is used as an administrative consideration for policy makers in Riau Province, Bengkalis Regency and other districts/cities related to Sakai's existence, as well as a means to decipher the “missing link” in discussions regarding Sakai's existence which should be connected directly in the related historical series.
