This article examines the historical and cultural relationship between the Sea People and the Land People in the Bangka Belitung Islands during the 19th–20th centuries. As a maritime region with a long history of trade and migration, Bangka Belitung served as a meeting ground between coastal communities (Sea People) and agrarian communities (Land People). This study employs a historical and anthropological approach by examining colonial sources, local archives, and ethnographic records. The findings reveal that interactions between these two groups gave rise to processes of cultural acculturation, socioeconomic change, and the formation of a distinctive local identity. The roles of both groups in the region’s historical trajectory also reveal the dynamics of adaptation to colonialism and modernity in the maritime regions of the Indonesian archipelago.

The Ojhung tradition is a fighting art performed by two men in Batuputih using a whip in an open arena. In practice, this fighting art then transformed into a rain-calling ritual. This study aims to reveal the transformation of Ojhung from a fighting art into a rain-calling ritual, along with the meaning contain in it. This study employs a qualitative approach. The data will be analyzed using Clifford Geertz's interpretive theory. The results of the study indicate that Ojhung is a fighting art for Sumenep soldier training in the 12th century, led by the Singasari kingdom's dignitaries who were in Sumenep.

In the process of interpretation of meaning, several elements are used, such as whips, music, offerings, time and place that represent their own symbolic meanings.
