摘要

The state has confirmed that indigenous religions and major religions are equal in Indonesia through Constitutional Court Decree Number 97/PU-XIV/2016. Furthermore, indigenous religious followers can record their religious identity in various state archives. The documentation of indigenous religious identities in state archives reflected the archiving system. It is a system that determines what information should be included, preserved, or excluded. However, a concept or a label used by archivers in archiving the archived is rarely discussed. This archiving process affected how the state serves citizens and how citizens receive state services. This research was conducted from December 2021 to April 2022 and employed qualitative techniques such as archive studies and textual network analysis (TNA). This paper argues that the Constitutional Court Decree affected the reform of the state archiving system for indigenous religions. This reform heralds a new era in which the country is becoming more accepting of indigenous religions. Furthermore, the state's efforts to ensure the civil rights of all indigenous religious followers become clear. Nonetheless, the activism of indigenous religious followers needs to be maintained.
