Abstract: This study aims to analyze the portrait of Islamic education and its impact as well as explain the forms
of resistance, the negotiation process, and the accommodation of the WetuTelu indigenous people
towards the presence of Islamic education. This type of research is descriptive qualitative research
with an ethnographic approach. Collecting data through in-depth interview techniques, observation,
documentation studies and FGD using interview and observation guideline instruments. The data
obtained was then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman model. Data validity was carried out by
extending the observation period, increasing persistence, triangulation, peer discussions, and member
checks.
The results of the study show resistance to Islamic education in the Bayan indigenous people, namely
indirect resistance such as leaders and indigenous people who do not support plans to build mosques
and madrasas, do not support the process of implementing Islamic education in madrasas and do not
support any recitation activities at mosques. While the negotiation process carried out by the gurus and
Ustadz from indigenous peoples used power elites, emotional approaches and cultural approaches that
took place over a long period of time, collaboration through these three approaches had an impact on
being more accommodating to some of the indigenous people of the Wetu Telu Bayan towards Islamic
education whose form is that they donate their land for the construction of the Mushalla, use the house
where the TPQ is held, are involved in the management of Islamic education and work together in the
mosque. Since the establishment of accommodation for Islamic education in the Bayan indigenous
people, various internal dynamics have occurred in its implementation to date, ranging from inadequate
teacher competence, limited facilities and infrastructure, and teachers unable to translate the curriculum.
However, Islamic education in the Bayan indigenous people has had an impact on changes in
knowledge of their Islamic and customary practices, resulting in the birth of an open-type wetu telu
