Abstract


The purpose of this research is to describe the role of local wisdoms
in community’s health care of Batak Toba at Tipang, Toba Lake area. It aims at describing the application of indigenous  knowledge as local wisdom in local community’s health care. Qualitative paradigm with ethnograpic model was applied in this research design. This model uses twelve steps of interview  and of observation. This research was conducted by employing anthropolinguistic approach with the analytic parameters of interconnection, valuability, and sustainability. This analysis focuses  on  performance, indexicality, and participation. Indigenous knowledge as local wisdom is applied to overcome the community’s own health problems as well as to care for their health. The physical deseases are medicated with local herbs, while non-physical illnesses (psychological or psychiatrical)  are mostly treated by shamans chanting incantation with or without local herbs. The new contribution of this research is the application of
 indigenous knowledge as the local wisdom for the local community health care.
