Abstract

This study aims to see how geopolitics views customary land conflicts in the village of Kinipan involving PT. Sustainable Sustainable Palm Oil and Indigenous Peoples. This study uses a literature review approach in research, with sources obtained from books, scientific articles, and current facts. The results showed that the sovereignty of the Kinipan customary forest area was PT. Sawit Lestari Mandiri, although Indigenous Peoples can also obtain customary forest rights through certain regulations stipulated by the government regarding recognition as Indigenous Peoples and designation of an area as customary forest. The Kinipan Customary Law Community does not fulfill the requirements to have territorial sovereignty of the Kinipan customary forest in the perspective of Nationalist theory, but in the perspective of the Static Theory through regulation recognition as a customary law community, indigenous peoples in Kinipan can own the forest as a place to live and survive.
