SOCIALIZATION OF INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY RIGHTS IN THE MANAGEMENT OF LAND RIGHTS IN THE TOGUTIL COMMUNITY OF EAST HALMAHERA

This community service activity is motivated by the worsening position of Indigenous Rights that are already rooted in the lives of indigenous peoples. Weak socialization and public understanding of the importance of law that can protect themselves from the progress of the times, so this community service has the aim of (1) providing an understanding so that customary rights with their local wisdom can be protected by the government in the form of regional regulations so that in the future whoever will lead will still have legal certainty, (2) Encourage local governments to immediately make regulations (customary regulations) that can protect the rights of local indigenous peoples. This activity is a socialization of regulations so that indigenous peoples know that their rights can be protected by the government in the form of local regulations. This can be seen from the presence of one of the tribes (Togutil) at the activity location who is still living in the Halmahera forest, North Maluku, whose existence is in a mining area that has the potential to be exploited and they are vulnerable to not being involved in the management of the results, let alone being able to share it to be utilized. as much as possible for their prosperity and welfare as mandated by the 1945 Constitution, because there is no central government or local government policy that reflects the existence of the Togutil tribe as the most important part in the management of natural resources. The conclusion of this socialization activity received a positive response from the community, marked by the start of the drafting of a regional regulation with support from local academics and other related parties so that indigenous peoples will receive legal certainty over their rights
