Abstract

The Dani tribe anthropologically has a variety of classifications that are formed based on culture and their environment, which will form a set of values, norms, rules that serve as guidelines in regulating the life of every supporter of Papuan culture to carry out, plan, implement, decide, and interact with anyone. Papuan socio-cultural diversity illustrates how a strong dani woman shows her identity in a private (domestic) cultural environment and a public cultural environment. In a socio-cultural structure in Papua, strong dani women are always in a private cultural environment, because the values of Patrilineal culture always dominate in the decision-making of all activities carried out by every cultural supporter without the exception of the mighty woman dani. The order of patrilineal cultural values in Papua, a mighty woman, Dani is in household, gardening and child care activities. The system of knowledge and development of knowledge that every strong woman possesses, will provide a guide or framework to determine what, to determine what could be, to determine how we feel it, to determine what we should do about this, and to determine how to do it. Thus the knowledge possessed by every strong woman can provide direction and guidance in organizing, planning, implementing, and deciding what her future development will be in a public cultural environment. Qualitative methodology is used to describe the data collected through interview techniques and literature studies, the struggle of a mighty dani woman in a private culture is shown through productive hard work, so that in private culture a mighty woman dani can provide solutions, determine, and decide what is private. In the public cultural environment, dani mighty women strive to achieve the highest level of education and skills, so that todays mighty dani women can decide to do their activities and be in the world of government, private sector, church, political organizations and other professions.
