This paper will examine the contestation between religion and land rights in state and indigenous people’s relations in Indonesia from the perspective of national and International Laws. This paper will depart from the recent development of state recognition of customary law based on the Constitutional Court (MK) decision No. 35/2012 that state customary forest is not under the state forest. This paper will explain the significance of advocating Freedom of Religion or Belief for forest conflict and resonsidering to encompassing the land rights as part of Religious Rights for Indigenous People in Indonesia. To build the argument, this paper initially discuss on the discourse on the land rights in Indonesia, which is divided into two main sub topic, namely, a brief discussion on human rights for indigenous peoples from the perspective of national and international law. Furthermore, this paper will describe case studies of Orang Rimba in Jambi that will be consist of the belief of their indigenous religion and the particular problem of conflict of land and forest. The paper argues that land and religion constitute a unity for indigenous peoples who adhere to belief. This means that if buildings and lands as spiritual and worship place disappear then indigenous peoples will lose the right to worship according to the beliefs they believe. In fact, worship is a right attached to every citizen who cannot be reduced (non derogable rights) and should be protected and respected by the state. In conclusion, this paper will offers customary management in Indonesia through advocacy of freedom of religion or belief (FORB).

<p class="abstrak">This study examines the practice of <em>Kenduri Sko</em>,<em> </em>one of the local traditions of the Kerinci people that has been rarely practiced. Since 2017, the government of Sungai Penuh City took over the management of the practice turning it into an annual tourist attraction called as the <em>Festival of Kenduri Sko</em>. This paper argues that the articulation of this indigenous tradition, and its combination with religion and tourism has stimulated the attempt to preserve indigenous practices through a strategic relationship between government officials and local actors. To show how this the case, we discuss the theory of indigenous religions and the theory of articulation. We use qualitative methods and conducted field studies on the Kerinci People who live in Sungai Penuh City. The article concludes that this kind of articulation has succeeded in placing indigenous peoples as the main actors of the initiative, where the government plays a supporting role in preserving the traditions. This article also recommends a synergistic relationship between the local government and the community to maintain the tradition through various events such as festivals, art performances, and other such projects.</p><p class="abstrak"> </p><p class="abstrak"><em>Penelitian ini mengkaji praktek Kenduri Sko sebagai salah satu tradisi lokal masyarakat Kerinci yang sudah jarang dilakukan. Sejak tahun 2017, Pemerintah Kota Sungai Penuh mengambil alih praktik tersebut sebagai ikon pariwisata yang disebut dengan Festival Kenduri Sko yang diadakan setiap tahun. Artikel ini berpendapat bahwa artikulasi adat istiadat, agama, dan pariwisata telah mendorong upaya pelestarian praktik adat melalui hubungan strategis antara pejabat pemerintah dan aktor lokal. Untuk membangun argumen ini, artikel ini mengelaborasi teori agama leluhur dan teori artikulasi. Artikel ini menggunakan metode kualitatif serta melakukan studi lapangan terhadap Masyarakat Kerinci yang berdomisili di Kota Sungai Penuh. Artikel ini menyimpulkan bahwa artikulasi semacam itu telah berhasil menempatkan masyarakat adat sebagai aktor utama dimana peran pemerintah sebagai aktor pendukung dalam pelestarian tradisi.
