The tourism sector is the main pillar of economic development in the context of the modernization era. So it can be said that tourism is an industry. The tourism industry that is being developed is based on culture. In the Nagari Sujunjung Indigenous Village, the development of a culture-based tourism industry can be seen through changing cultural elements such as the Rumah Gadang and Bakaua Adat rituals which are packaged in the form of a Matrilineal Festival by the government. This packaging is often referred to as commodification. With a qualitative method, the results show that the two cultures (tourism and local culture) become 'must' be modified to bridge and as a lubricant to respond to global challenges, so a dialogue will occur between the two. The dialogue is due to tourism having 'trace' and 'official' standards as well as culture having deep-rooted ideals. On the one hand, the noble cultural values of the community continue to be 'glorified' but on the other hand it is very interesting to be 'packaged'. However, local wisdom continues to be praised as a tradition that needs to be cared for and passed on, but its material and spiritual references are getting faded and messy. Apparently (in the era of globalization) it is not the tradition that needs to be defended, but the image of the tradition which is very easy to display (trade). On the other hand, efforts to commodify culture as a tourism industry are built on orientalist discourses, such as the living museum in the Nagari Sijujung Indigenous Village.

The purpose of this paper is show that the commodification process that occurs in the Sijunjung Traditional Village to support the development of rural tourism. The process of commodification can be seen in the utilization of the Rumah Gadang as a place to stay (homestay) for visitors. Rumah Gadang for the Minangkabau people is not just a place to live but a cultural space and symbol. So that if it is made into a homestay it will create a dilemma, on the one hand, the Rumah Gadang needs to be maintained as a distinctive Minangkabau cultural monument and on the other hand, the tourism aspect can have an economic impact on the Sijunjung community. It is this dualism of Rumah Gadang as a cultural product and a tourism product that results in commodification to develop tourism in rural areas. The method used is a thorough observation of the Rumah Gadang and interviewing the residents and Ninik Mamak (traditional ruler) as members of the tribe that owns the Rumah gadang. A total of 15 Rumah Gadang have become homestays under the auspices of BCA bank CSR and are managed by the Nagari Sijunjung Traditional Village Management Agency (BP). Apart from that, Rumah Gadang still functions as a place and space for the social and cultural activities of the Sijunjung people. So that the values and norms that exist in the Rumah Gadang as a symbol of Minangkabau culture continue to run and through homestays, the Sijunjung community can get additional economic benefits from the tourism sector.
