Abstract
The discussion on the power relationship between the state and adat is always exciting because it is most likely getting tension from the state through various regulations and keeps signifying its existence. An interesting phenomenon that happened after the downfall of the New Order regime and the expansion of the Regional Autonomy System's implementation was adat power's reappearance at the local level. For instance, the adat functionaries in Kerinci Regency signified their dominance over the village government. The studies about the relationship between adat and the state tend to put it as an identity and spirit for gaining support, power, and fund also tools to deal with the government. This study began since adat is in a dominant position over the village government in decisions making. This study found that the Kerinci Regency returned to adat as the government structure. As a result, it affected the village administration's stability and community solidarity mechanism in Kerinci Regency when resolving various conflicts. Thus, the meaning of domination, which is commonly interpreted as a negative issue, is turning out to be a contrary one since the community is more solid through adat.
