Tanah Barkat (Blessed Land): The Source of the Local in the

Keramat played a central part in the context of regular (though infrequent) collective ritual action involving the residents of particular settlements. Concentrations of important local keramat offer legitimation and focus within such collective practice, providing evidence of the existence of a pre-colonial polity known as negeri adat occupying the same location as contemporary settlements.
