520 |a This study introduces the concept of transformissional ecotheology (TE) as a multidisciplinary framework that integrates indigenous ecological knowledge (IEK) with Christian theological discourse to address contemporary environmental challenges. Focussing on the Akit Tribe of Karimun Island, Indonesia, the research explores the tribe’s deep ecological wisdom and spiritual practices, which are rooted in a profound interconnectedness with nature. A hybrid-method approach was employed, integrating literature from sociology, theology and environmental studies, and combining both qualitative and quantitative data collection methods. Data were gathered through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, participant observation, document analysis and surveys. The study investigates how the Akit’s ecological practices, such as ambek secukupnye [taking only what is needed], Betabek [salutary respect], the Bele [defending] rituals and other traditional practices can inform and transform contemporary Christian theology. The findings indicate that the ecological knowledge of the Akit Tribe plays a crucial role in addressing environmental challenges. The socio-historical context shapes these challenges and their responses, underscoring the need for a transformative approach that integrates spiritual and ecological perspectives. The study concludes that a cultural approach based on the Akit Tribe’s wisdom can strengthen the framework of TE, promoting effective global theological and ecological interventions.Contribution: This study significantly advances the integration of IEK with theological discourse, offering a framework for addressing local, national and global ecological challenges through culturally resonant and sustainable practices.
