Abstract
This article explains the urgency of the customary law on modern - day Indonesian life and the role that law can play in people^s lives. The purpose of this research is to celebrate the anniversary of civil law in the community of the United States of America. The research method used is the normative research method. The study suggests that the customary law is a law that reflects the personality and soul of a nation, so it is believed that some of the customary laws must be relevant to the establishment of an Indonesian legal system. Because the constitutional arrangement as it has been null and void eliminates the prevailing jurisdictional fact, the existing legal system authorizes the behavior of society in their daily lives. Indonesian social realities point to the existence of more than one legal system that effectively governs people^s lives, leading to the existence of a system of laws outside the formal law system that is enforced against the existence of indigenous peoples by their system. As part of the social reality of Indonesia, the existence of these so-called indigenous peoples obviously cannot be understated, even then a growing tendency for their existence to be maintained and fought for more in favor of the introduction of cultural rights as part of human rights. The conclusion is that the traditional laws of Indonesia are essential and necessary in people^s lives and as the basis for formal understates.
